Hawker Hall

In the ‘90s, restaurateur Chris Lucas lived in Japan for three years. More than half of his time was spent travelling through Asia, immersed in its food culture. Such was the inspiration for Hawker Hall, the fourth addition to The Lucas Group, after Chin Chin, Kong and Baby. Like its sister restaurants, Hawker Hall has inimitable energy. This food more or less demands a salving beer to accompany it. With 18 taps on-site, there are plenty to choose from, including the house brand, Shiki.
