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 vibrant dining hub celebrated for its "fantastic food" and "attentive service." Guests rave about the "amazing" atmosphere and "outstanding" Sunday roasts. The "all in" meat platters and famous white chocolate cheesecake are must-tries. Despite occasional noise, the lively setting adds to the charm.

    Lamb chop was served raw. My partner noticed this and immediately told me to spit the food out. Kindly, the waiter placed another order. We did however have to request for this to be removed from the bill prior to paying.

    Difficult to fault overall - food and service was very good. Minor complaint is the lack of reasonably priced wines.

    Big fan but on this occasion the roast wasn’t quite as amazing as in the past. Not a huge amount of meat, and even with extra trimmings and cauliflower cheese, only just enough for two. Food was also surprisingly cold. White chocolate cheesecake on the other hand was incredible! Also the service was brilliant as usual.

    Our experience at Blacklock was amazing. Food was amazing, a simple menu but they did it all incredibly well. We went for the sharing roast, I would definitely recommend. The wine was delicious as was the dessert. Definitely will return!
