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.

    Fantastic venue , and always amazing personable service , made to feel very welcome alongside reasonable prices. The ‘all in roast’ and the white Choc cheesecake is a must.

    Fantastic experience. Honestly so delicious! We went for Sunday lunch… Bottomless gravy is always a winner for me. The sharing roast is always my go to so you have an option of the meats. 10/10 recommend! Service was fab, waiters were lovely. Also, make sure you get the white chocolate cheesecake!

    Great place, the best thing about th whole experience is that we ad someone at our table who ordered a well done sirloin. The chef is a genius, by far that steak was better cooked than the original beef roast which was rare. Everything was excellent, I was partial to the pork and the well done roast. Pigs head on toast was also brilliant!

    A great den for anyone loving steak. Vibrant and very noisy so, depending on the nature of your conversation, you may prefer to ask for a quiet corner

    Unfortunately not a great visit. My steak was poor. We got 3 fillet steaks on the table. Mine was half the size of the others, slightly shrivelled and dry. I must have got the end of the fillet. I didnt say anything as I was with clients and you dont want to kick up a fuss and ruin everyone's meal. Shame as the steaks should be a treat when you are paying this much. Its a very boisterous and noisy restaurant. Some consolations were that our waiter was excellent and attentive. The cheescake was amazing and i'd go back for that alone.
