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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Blacklock City is a vibrant dining hub celebrated for its "fantastic food" and "attentive service." Guests rave about the "amazing" atmosphere and "outstanding" Sunday roasts. The "all in" meat platters and famous white chocolate cheesecake are must-tries. Despite occasional noise, the lively setting adds to the charm.

    Difficult to fault overall - food and service was very good. Minor complaint is the lack of reasonably priced wines.

    Big fan but on this occasion the roast wasn’t quite as amazing as in the past. Not a huge amount of meat, and even with extra trimmings and cauliflower cheese, only just enough for two. Food was also surprisingly cold. White chocolate cheesecake on the other hand was incredible! Also the service was brilliant as usual.

    Our experience at Blacklock was amazing. Food was amazing, a simple menu but they did it all incredibly well. We went for the sharing roast, I would definitely recommend. The wine was delicious as was the dessert. Definitely will return!

    Can’t fault this place at all, we had an 850g porterhouse to share £85 for the steak alone I was happy to pay that price but make your own mind up. The sides and sauces were all very reasonably priced at £5 and £2. And dessert was a massive portion for the price also. I will say GET THE BREAD AND GRAVY!

    Unfortunately, the excessive salt on the otherwise prefectly cooked steaks and sweet potato ruined the meal for us. Even my wife, who usually enjoys a bit of salt, found it overwhelming. That said, the service was excellent, and the white chocolate cheesecake was absolutely outstanding. However, due to the overly salty food, we wouldn’t personally recommend it."

    Superb food, very kind staff and authentic and cosy atmosphere. I absolutely loved the place, and after trying all in with my friends, I'll definitely come back again to have some steaks
