Blacklock 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 Sunday 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.

The food was excellent, as always with Blacklock. The steak was perfectly cooked, but the sides should also get a mention. It would be so easy to just do simple green veg/salad type sides but Blacklock have crafted some really nice pairings without going over the top.
The drinks menu is excellent too - I wish I could have sampled more of it.
The service was just fantastic. I came with my dad, and I always want to apologise in advance when I take him anywhere as he's so difficult, but the staff handled him really well and went out of their way to try and give us a great experience.

Fantastic service, everyone was so attentive. Food was phenomenal. Ordered a couple of extra portions to add to the ‘All In for 2’ for our kids and it was plenty. Would highly recommend

The food was outstanding and the service too. I am yet to have a bad experience at Blacklock. Highly recommend this for a Sunday roast - you won’t be disappointed. Our waitress was superb, food delicious and the cheesecake topped it off perfectly.

The service was excellent, atmosphere was brilliant and the food/wine delicious. The only criticism would be more tastier lamb needed in the All In option. We got a lamb slice each but it wasn’t particularly flavoursome, the mint sauce was runny and tasteless.
Only a minor point in an otherwise excellent experience, I’d highly recommend this restaurant for a fabulous time!
