Would Hawkings Stellar Drive be possible and would it be effective?

Hawking's radiation emits particles from a black-hole.
Lets play with the idea of harnessing a mini black hole in the center of a star-ship. Let alone harnessing the gravity pull to the front and move the emitting particles out the back, (creating a Push-Pull effect).
Would the small black-hole be able to create enough gravity + emit enough particles to actually move the star-ship?
And would it be effective*?
(*Effective is define by actually reaching interesting speeds like at least 1/4 & 1/2 C)
