Steakhouse pros Hawksmoor have announced plans for their summer holiday - and everyone’s invited. This August, they’ll be hosting four nights of al fresco dining in the ancient woodlands of Hertfordshire.

The five course menu will include a host of Hawksmoor classics, from barbecued pork ribs, to Caesar salad, and scallops in garlic butter, with two mega dishes for the mains; Hereford rib of beef roasted over charcoal, or grilled Brixham monkfish with parsley and garlic oil. 

There’ll also be some serious sides; ash-baked potatoes, barbecued bone marrow, heritage tomato salad, and grilled purple sprouting broccoli. For pud – if you have room – there’ll be a seasonal pavlova, and Tunworth cheese with blossom honey on toasted sourdough. There’s a wine pairing too!

How much for such delights? £195, and that includes all your food and booze. The outdoor dinners will take place in the grounds of posh spa hotel The Grove, which is just north of glamorous Watford, on August 1, 2, 8 and 9, from 6.30-9pm. 

If you’re feeling particularly flush, you can book an overnight package that includes a room at the hotel, which is £1012, based on two people sharing.
