About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
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.

    Great service, food was outstanding and we were treated really well. It was my partners birthday, which I mentioned on the phone and they really made an effort with additional treats. The staff were really lovely and had good banter and the back ground music was fab, which added to the ambience. This is my 2nd time to Blacklock and will definitely be back again in the future.

    Blacklock rarely disappoints. Took a member of my team here to celebrate their exam successes. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was good.

    Love the food and service and pricing. The acoustics are dreadful, not sure how you’d make them better though!

    非常好的服务员小姐！我妈妈不爱吃生肉，但是服务员还是很建议我们吃肉眼牛排的五分熟。她告诉我们如果不喜欢的话，可以重新加热牛排直到全熟。我们选择了五分熟，然后我妈妈的确不是很愿意吃。然后我们便问服务员能否将牛排拿回去再加热。她非常乐意的帮了我们！我妈妈很爱重新烤过的牛排！她让我们很开心！肉眼也很好吃，还有西兰花沙拉也很棒！
