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.

    Been here a few times over the years and always thought the service was fantastic and food was great. Last few times we have been the service hasn’t been that great, slow and not very personable. Food nice still, but will probably find other steak restaurants to go to now.

    We had our 8 month old with us, the team at Blacklock were amazing / super hospitable - and the food was, as always, delicious.

    Service, food and ambience was perfect. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is that it was very loud and on occasions struggled to hold a conversation with my partner.

    Too rushed for the meal, the staff kept on urging us to leave. Beef was overcooked.

    Food, service and surroundings were fabulous as always. Once again my garlic allergy was taken account of and changing part of my starter's ingredients was no trouble. Will definitely go back.

    A great experience as always. Good food at a fair price (certainly for the all in option) and friendly service in a buzzy restaurant, what's not to like

    Excellent food as always, but clearing the drinks and food before we had finished was not good.

    I have been to Blacklock City several times, and have never been disappointed. The food and drinks were all excellent. My favourites (in no particular order) are the pre chop bites / pork rib / Blacklock burger / sirloin / prime rib / all in / Blacklock Sundays / white chocolate cheesecake / old fashioned cocktails. Not to be consumed all at once, but if you think you can manage them all, I wish you the very best! The servers were very attentive and engaging. And even helped celebrated my birthday with a freebie. Have a birthday celebration there and you'll see!
