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.

    Sunday roast at Blacklock for our last meal in London - what a wonderful experience!! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left we had great time. We had a reservation, and there were a few minutes wait, so we had a drink at the bar. We were soon seated by the lovely woman at reception and Dermot was our server. He was excellent! We had a beef and a lamb dinner and at Dermot’s suggestion the cheesy cauliflower. It all was so delicious. We knew it would be a lot so we hadn’t eaten much all day and we were not disappointed. Both of the meats we tender and the potatoes, carrots, cabbage and Yorkshire pudding were also perfect. And the gravy…so good. We saw another table drinking it from its pitcher - that good! We found a little extra room and had the rhubarb, apple crumble with ice cream and custard sauce. My husband, who isn’t a crumble guy, thought it was amazing as did I. We made this reservation months in advance knowing we wanted to try a Sunday roast and the Black Lock city was the perfect end to our week in London. The team working there, the food, the atmosphere all 10/10!! Thank you!!

    The best experience we've had at a London restaurant in a while. Could not recommend more. The food was spot on, service was outstanding and prices were brilliant. One of the people in our party were dealing with an issue that meant we couldn't put our order in for a little while and our server dealt with it perfectly, put no pressure on us at all and even offered us a quieter table to sit at if we needed it. Absolutely no complaints from any of us, a really great way to end our day.

    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.
