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.

    Have been to Blacklock Shoreditch many times but this was our first time in the City restaurant and it was equally superb! Blacklocks consistency in food quality, welcoming staff and fantastic atmosphere always delivers! I can never recommend Blacklock enough to friends and family plus value for money is excellent! Thank you to all for a superb evening and the only problem I now have is to return to Shoreditch or head back to the City!

    This is our 3rd experience of The Blacklock, and 2nd at the City branch. Quite honestly, I can’t fault it. We brought our friends from Cornwall and they were so impressed too. From the greeting by the manager Arty, to our server Andreas (apologies if spelt incorrectly) we were made to feel from comfortable. My husband asked for a flavoured cider but they only had draft original, so the barman asked which flavour he was after and bought over a few for him to try to mix with his cider. That was excellent customer service. We were provided with full explanations of the cuts of meat so that we could make informed choices. One of our party has a nut allergy so was very impressed with how knowledgeable they were able the food prep in the kitchen. The food was delicious, from the smoked beef rib to the mountain of chops. The beef dripping chips were to die for. The beets with curds were a refreshing a compliment. We guys were fussing over which desserts to choose, when we all received spoons followed by bowls of bread and butter pudding and white chocolate cheese cake. When we questioned Andréa, she smiled and told us she overheard us and these were on the house. We were bowled over once again the amazing vibe of the City branch. The food their chiefs prepare, the waiting staff and the local are superb. We will certainly be booking again very soon.

    Food was amazing, we had the"all in" option from the menu. A mountain of skinny chops with flatbed at the base soaking up the juices,along with gravey and chips. It was all sublime. Waiters were so attentive . I wish we had this restaurant near home
