Blacklock is a modern version of the Great British chophouse. Set in an old electricity substation on the site of London"s oldest meat market. We take the best meat in the country from the award-winning farmer and butcher Philip Warren in Cornwall. We cook chops simply over our real charcoal grill with a little help from vintage Blacklock irons and serve it all up alongside cocktails that give back and wine on tap in our atmospheric subterranean chop mecca. On Sundays we serve a Roast almost as good as Mum's.

We have limited spaces for Walk-ins, so we encourage booking in advance to avoid disappointment during busy times.

    Absolutely friendly, efficient, considerate service. Great sweet potato. The garlic bone marrow top notch. Great choices to taste and size of appetite regarding steaks and lighter fare. A bit noisey but not unpleasant A definite return.

    A pure meat feast! Not so keen on the starters but the 'All in' and Bread and Butter pudding are highly recommended.

    A really good experience. All the staff looked after us really well, finding us a quieter table, dealing with our BYOB bottles, even chasing us up the street to give us a scarf that we'd left behind.

    My husband had been keen to have a Sunday lunch platter at Blacklock for quite some time. It was definitely worth waiting to be able to book a table. The food was excellent, a sharing platter for three plus cauliflower cheese just the right amount for two adults and two children

    Full disclosure, this is the second time I've been to Blacklock. As such, I had a real worry that I'd put it on a bit of a pedestal - that it couldn't possibly live up to the image I had in my mind. Dear reader, it is my distinct pleasure to tell you that I was very, very, wrong. I have, it must be said, only been for the Sunday roast. That Sunday roast, however, is the very pinnacle, the ideal, the perfected form of the art. Everything is cooked perfectly, the servers are friendly, kind, and attentive. If a sour note could be found, then it could be said that it's a little noisy. It's not an unpleasant noise, though - but the sound of fifty or so diners enjoying themselves, the place, and the company with enthusiasm. Go. Go immediately. Go for lunch and dinner. Tip your servers. Thank me later.
