Blacklock is a modern take of the Great British chophouse nestled in the corner of a Grade II listed textiles warehouse. 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 charcoal grill with a little help from vintage Blacklock irons and serve it all up alongside cocktails from the trolley and wine on tap in our subterranean chop mecca. On Sundays we serve a 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. To find out more, do sign up to our newsletter and we look forward to warmly welcoming you soon.

My brother and I visited from California. Heard there was a Hawksmoor in Manchester. Very high quality. Food was beyond expectations. Service is very helpful. Reservation is a must of you want to go there. Lives up to its reputation. Can be very pricey is all I'll say.
