Blacklock is 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 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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Blacklock City is a top choice for Sunday roasts, renowned for its "best roast in London" reputation. Patrons rave about the "outstanding food" and "incredible service," often highlighting the "amazing cheesecake" and welcoming vibe. While it can be bustling and loud, the attentive staff, especially Dermot, consistently enhance the dining experience.

    Artur was an amazing server and extremely attentive to our table. He is a credit to the company. Also the complimentary cheesecake for my girlfriend’s birthday was 10/10 and I quote from my girlfriend “the best cheesecake I have ever had”. Keep up the good work!

    Sunday Roast. Loved everything but the pork roast was a bit too fatty for my taste. Sides were exceptional as was the winter negroni! I'll order the lamb next time. Would definitely go back

    Loved the All In offer, generous portions of nicely cooked meat. I was also really pleased that they responded to my request for a quiet table and we were put in a lovely corner away form any speakers as I am hearing impaired.

    The food was outstanding; Pig's head on toast was banging with flavour. Ribeye and Rump cap with Black lock gravy is pure gold! Topping the food was the service, so I am picking Blacklock City over the other outlets for my next steak out. Andrea was great and made the dining experience very enjoyable. She is the best restaurant hostess in London, and Blacklock is lucky to have her. Also, a shout-out to Oliver as well; he was great! Blacklock City, you ROCK!!
