• Steak • Manchester
Booked 87 times today
Blacklock is a modern take of the Great British chophouse nestled in the corner of a Grade II listed textiles warehouse. 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 charcoal grill with a little help from vintage Blacklock irons and serve it all up alongside cocktails from the trolley and wine on tap in our 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. To find out more, do sign up to our newsletter and we look forward to warmly welcoming you soon.

    My second time and as good as the first. Sadly the slow cooked venison shoulder was not on the menu but the sea bass proved an admirable alternative. Excellent dishes, not overly fancy, but ingredients well matched and flavoursome. The top to tail philosophy is clever and appropriate. Highly recommended.

    Fantastic service from start to finish. We ordered the sharing plate and one of the pieces of beef came out raw in the middle. They quickly swapped it and give us probably 5 times the amount as an apology. This was one of the tastiest and juicy pieces of beef I've ever eaten in my entire life. My girlfriend was then struggling to decide which desert to buy. She eventually decided to order the cheese cake, however then to our surprise they brought out a complimentary bread and butter pudding as an anniversary present for us. What a nice extra touch they added. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the service!
