*Season Finale | Will Beckett, Co-Founder of Hawksmoor*
Hawksmoor has become one of the world's most respected restaurant groups, but its success wasn't built overnight.
In the final episode of Staying Open, Natalia Ribbe sits down with co-founder Will Beckett to discuss the journey from a single London steakhouse to an internationally recognised restaurant group, without ever losing sight of what mattered most.
Together they explore the importance of exceptional British produce, the relationships with farmers and suppliers that underpin the business, and how they perfected some of Hawksmoor's most iconic dishes.
Will also shares his thoughts on entrepreneurship, scaling a business, working with business partners, learning from failure and leading a team through one of the toughest periods the hospitality industry has ever faced.
Whether you're a restaurateur, entrepreneur or simply someone who loves eating out, this episode is packed with honest insight into what it really takes to build a restaurant that stands the test of time.

Description

Staying Open - the podcast for restaurant owners, restaurant lovers, and everyone in between.
Hosted by Natalia Ribbe, founder of Ladies of Restaurants and owner of Sète, Staying Open explores the stories behind the people who keep hospitality moving forward.
From Michelin-starred kitchens to independent neighbourhood favourites, we travel around the UK speaking to the owners, founders and operators who've weathered the chaos of hospitality. We talk about the highs, the lows, the mistakes, the pressure, the wins, and what it really takes to stay open.
