Tomahawk Steakhouse has opened its first London restaurant. It’s housed in the former Fifteen site, Jamie Oliver’s long closed flagship in Hoxton.

The restaurant, which has a number of sites across the North of England, launched in the capital yesterday after much speculation.

Owner and founder Howard Eggleston told The Caterer: “When it comes to venues and growing the business, Tomahawk is a company that pushes boundaries, we always have been. Expansion plans and potential site visits have not stopped even in the lockdown. We must keep our heads high and keep up momentum otherwise we stop, and we just won’t accept that.”

He added: “We have given the whole venue a new lease of life and it looks fantastic. The interior has had a complete redesign being fitted out with additional booth seating and table plans set up in accordance with government guidelines so whether it’s a local neighbourhood couple coming for dinner or groups of six there are spaces for all.

“The lockdown is a tricky situation to navigate in any industry, but if the people of London are as frustrated as we are, I’m sure they will welcome a new kid on the Hoxton block.”
