Home to both a grand restaurant and a martini bar, Hawksmoor St. Pancras is now open under the soaring neo-gothic arches of one of London’s most remarkable buildings. The St. Pancras menu brings together everything Hawksmoor does best: a new seafood platter is a feast in itself, with Scotch bonnet oysters, dressed Dorset crab, scallop crudo, crevettes and pickled cockles; and the steak list continues the Hawksmoor tradition, with sustainable 35-day dry-aged cuts seasoned simply with flaky Maldon salt for crunch and minerality. New for this site is the Prime Rib Roast, an all-week roast that’s a love letter to US prime-rib houses, served with a Yorkshire pudding, bone-marrow gravy and creamed horseradish. Celebrating the group’s long-standing love affair with the martini, a dedicated bar will serve everything from Pink Gibsons to Duke’s-style Direct Martinis. Accompaniments might include a hot Scotch olive (think Scotch egg, but as an olive stuffed with molten Stichelton) or a dill-pickle gilda.

Two legendary climbing brands have joined forces for a limited-edition collaboration. Rab and Gramicci bring together the gritstone heritage of the Peak District with the granite legacy of Yosemite, creating a collection that honours the pioneering spirit of 80s climbing culture. Created just months apart on opposite sides of the Atlantic, both brands emerged from that decade’s transformative scene. The collection combines Gramicci’s signature style and movement-optimised cuts with Rab’s hallmark technical precision. Inspired by Yosemite big walls and informed by decades of expertise, it’s gear that performs and looks the part. Whether you’re scrambling up a rockface, resting between burns or navigating city streets, it delivers comfort, freedom and rugged protection.

This month saw the return of the Eccles Stout – St John and 40ft Brewery’s annual collaboration beer. What started with 40ft incorporating St John’s famous eccles cakes recipe into its popular Deep Irish stout has become an evolving brew with an annually changing recipe. This year’s vintage brings out the spices from the cake, with the ingredients now puréed to produce a smooth and full-bodied brew featuring notes of spice, nutmeg, dark chocolate, rich malt and currants. The Eccles Stout is available on tap and in 330ml cans in all St John restaurants and cafés, and on tap at 40ft Brewery in Dalston and Blackhorse Road, as well as handpicked pubs across London.
