Blacklock a modern version of the Great British chophouse. Nestled cosily in the corner of Canary Wharf, underneath the train tracks of the North Dock. Feel the comforting rumble of trains passing overhead conjuring memories of some of our favourite haunts underneath the bridges in NYC. 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.

The service was amazing! From the people who confirmed our booking and took our bags and coats, to the person who served our table, everyone was so kind and welcoming. The food is incredible, my girlfriend could not stop talking about the gravy haha. I put on the booking that it was her birthday and the waiter brought us a dessert with a candle! A perfect restaurant experience!
