About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Blacklock a modern version of the Great British chophouse. Set in the heart of an old listed building that once housed the King’s Coachmakers on Bedford Street. 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 chop mecca. On Sundays we serve a Sunday Roast (almost as good as Mum's).
Bookings and Walk-Ins available.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Blacklock Covent Garden is a true "hidden gem," offering "fabulous steaks" and "amazing cheesecake" in a "relaxed" atmosphere. The "friendly" staff and "impeccable" service enhance the dining experience. While the restaurant can be "loud" due to its underground location, the "amazing food" and "reasonable prices" make it a must-visit for steak lovers.

    It didn’t live up to the hype on Instagram. The cheesecake has a the wow factor on delivery but tastes cheap and is poorly made - I expect to eat something I couldn’t make at home in a restaurant and this absolutely wasn’t the case. We ordered the ‘all in’ and the steak was the worst part. It was a poor cut and chewy. Looking at the table next to us theirs was exactly the same and were struggling to cut through with their steak knives.

    Really tasty food. We were a party of 4 and had the All In for 4 people. Really ample food, well cooked. Couldn't fault the misx....great meat and the veg was delicious and roasties just right. Service was awesome and the place has a great vibe. A bit on the noisy side but that doesn't put me off as a diner. Wasn't overwhelming. Just right for us. Great value. We took some home. Will go again.

    思ったよりも雰囲気が良く、お肉も柔らかくておいしかったです。グレービーソースがとてもいい味出していました。サンデーローストの予約を取るのがかなり大変なので、1か月くらい余裕を見て予約したほうがいいです。店内とても込み合っていましたが、スタッフの方も感じが良くてとても楽しくランチを過ごせました。

    This was my second time at Blacklock, and it made me wonder what took me so long. I ordered the sirloin, which came medium-rare (though more rare, which is how I like it. The meat was so flavourful and minimally seasoned. I had it with the gravy, which was gorgeous both with the meat and the beef dripping chips - an absolute must. My daughter had the burger, which I would have tried, had it lasted more than five minutes; a good review in itself. Cute spot to sit and friendly service. I will be back asap.
