Hawthorn is a bit prickly but is native and birds like it; it has nice
flowers and fruits (again for de birds);

Not much of either if clipped as a hedge

it is fairly slow growing but maybe a bit hard to keep neat?

About 2 ft a year. The real pain is not the clipping but the collection
of all the bits - they are vicious things to come across while weeding
or walking bare foot.
