Restaurant Host
Since 2006, Hawksmoor has been the UK’s home of ethically sourced, grass‑fed beef, cooked over charcoal and paired with award‑winning wines and cocktails. Hawksmoor Dublin plays a key role in bringing our warm, generous hospitality to the city. We’re proud to be a certified B Corp, one of the most sustainable restaurant groups in the industry, and to have been recognised as one of the Best Companies to work for year after year.
