Openings this week: Hawksmoor Borough, Belgo and Bloom, Honi Poké and more

A look at the latest restaurants, hotels, pubs and bars to open their doors

Hawksmoor Borough

Hawksmoor Borough is situated in a former Victorian hop warehouse and fruit auction hall next to London's Borough Market. Its design reflects its history, with original timber beams and columns from when the building was built from ships that were broken up on the nearby docks.

Downstairs, the Cooks' Room (launching at the end of March) comprises just 16 covers and has its own private kitchen. During the day it will serve as a creative outlet for chefs Richard Turner (group executive chef), Matt Brown (executive chef) and Carla Henriques (executive pastry chef) to try out new ideas. At night, it will be a private dining room and events space, with a menu that champions produce from the market. Hawksmoor Borough also features a Market Specials menu, focusing on the very best seasonal produce available from the market.
