First time in London, had to try the Sunday roast. Booked this place a month in advance as it gets filled quickly. Its next to the Sky Garden so we were able to hang out there, grab some drinks, and enjoy the beautiful skyline views until our reservation at Blacklock - they let us in pretty early since we were really tired and wanted to get back to the hotel sooner We eventually get seated, place is packed and lively. We got the All in sunday roast consisting of pork, beef, lamb, grilled carrots, potatoes, greens, and Yorkshire pudding. Its served with refillable gravy and an assortment of sauces. The gravy was one of the best ive had! Pork and lamb were pretty fatty which i prefer. Potatoes were nice but skin was pretty chewy, hard to cut through as they were pretty big pieces. Thought there was way too much pudding and not enough meat as we got dinner for 4 - its 28 pounds pp for one plate full, which felt pretty pricey for what we got Overall the roast was good and was a new experience. The cheesecake was interesting as well - the crust wasnt really a crust, moreso a separate biscuit layer with the cheese filling spread on top. I typically am not the biggest fan of cheesecake but this is more of a preferable variation for me Originally thought we were getting bad service but soon realized as an american that this is the culture here lol - yes the place was really busy but we learned that in London (and Europe in general) your meal is relaxed and theyre a lot more hands off. You need to cue staff for everything so it felt a bit off putting to constantly ask for water and gravy refills, dessert order, and the check in that busy environment. But its part of the etiquette I suppose, so expect to need to do that and to potentially account for a bit of extra time spent read more

We looked forward to the traditional roast served only on Sundays. Originally tried to make reservation for Blacklock Covent, closer to our hotel, but they were completely booked. Happy to get a reservation here! We arrived a little early, and our table was ready.. so we got to sit down earlier. Sandra was our server, she was awesome! She checked on us frequently and answered any questions we had... I curious about the applesauce ingredients, she came back immediately with the list : ) She also asked if we had any food intolerance or allergies, I stated lactose. She made sure the accommodation was made for a lactose free order. We both ordered the All In - 28 sterling per person - veggies, duck fat potatoes, slice of beef, pork, lamb, Yorkshire pudding, endless gravy , and sauces. Mine minus the pudding and dairy free gravy. Food came out pretty fast. Meat was tasty especially the beef. Lamb and pork was a little fatty. I loved and piled the horseradish on the beef. I found the potatoes to be a little chewy on the outside , not the crisp I had expected. Gravy was nice and pourable over everything lol My mock a rita was lovely, just very skimp amount. My small glass contained a lot of ice, drink maybe was halfway the glass. Service was excellent! Food was ok. read more

Came here on a Saturday, highly recommend getting reservations a few weeks in advance, as I did, if you want to come here. It gets crowded quickly. Our service was good, but the menu is confusing if you're from out of town. Most steaks are served single portion not shareable. My favorites of the night were the pigs head on toast and the usual suspect cocktail. Steaks were flavorful, okay, but highly fatty. The chips were what you would expect. The autumn salad was beet and apple, the broccoli salad had no pecans in it. We shared a few steaks and sides amongst 5 people. Overall, it didn't feel the most welcoming as someone from out of town, food was average, and prices were high for what we received. read more

My family and I visited London over the holidays from the US. I saw a TikTok about this place and decided to try the Sunday Roast here. It was one of the top three best meals I've ever had in my life. I crave this meal every day. It was also the best Bloody Mary I've ever had in my life. I would visit London again just to try another Sunday Roast here (and Bloody Mary of course). I wish I was more hungry this day just so I could've ate my entire meal! HIGHLY recommend coming here on a Sunday!!! Also, the service was outstanding and normal-paced, unlike other places in London. Loved the atmosphere, loved the environment, loved the food, drinks, everything! read more

Went here for a traditional Sunday roast. Made reservations so there was hardly a wait before being seated. It was busy in there as I imagine most roast places are on Sundays. We ordered a mixed roast with beef, lamb, and pork along with the Yorkshire puddings and some roast potatoes as well. Little seasoning meant little flavor for the meats and the Yorkshire pudding literally had zero flavor which maybe that's the point but not my tempo. Finally, the potatoes were not crispy and just not a good meal. Would pass on this one. read more

On my tecen trip to London, I ate at at Blackloch City. I read many good things and was excited to try it. However,.my wife wasnt so excited at the prospect of eating at this Temple of meat. All the stuff was excellent. Being from America I had a lot of questions and the waiter was able to answer everything and give us some guidance on how to order. We ordered the 'all in'. It comes with a plate piled high with lamb, pork and beef chops over strips of grilled flatbread. It also includes each of their their small bites. We started out with a plate of small bites that consisted of pork with kimchi on a cracker. And egg salad on a cracker and vegetables and kimchi on a cracker. All outstanding. Then the waiter brought us over a complimentary order of pig's head. It is shredded pork cheeks and other pork pots of the head over a large piece of toasted sourdough, which is baked at a bakery across the street from the restaurant. It came with their fabulous gravy which we poured over the top for the instructions from the waiter. No words to describe how amazing this was. The single best thing I ate at the restaurant. Then the main course came which was excellent. The chops are all cooked very nicely and with pink in the center. It comes with two sides, we got chips cooked in beef fat and a sweet potato that is thrown into the coals to roast. We also ordered a side of their amazing gravy. It was all good. Chops were great. The sweet potato and chips were fabulous. Were all of my bites included a piece of the chip, a piece of a chop and a little piece of flat bread. Just perfect. My wife and I had three chops each and there was still three chops left as well as one piece of flatbread. We were too full to have anymore yet somehow we managed to eat dessert. They brought over a large pan of their famous white chocolate cheesecake. The crust is made out of broken up shortbread cookies, still in chunks. Then a super creamy cheesecake top with curls of white chocolate. He brought us over a bowl to put scoops of the cheesecake in, but instead just left the entire pan and said enjoy it, take them whatever's left. My wife had an Old fashioned. She said it was outstanding. I just had water. Just a fabulous meal to kick off our trip. The total was 90 pounds. It includes a 13% service charge, actual bill was 86pounds, but I added 4 more read more

A colleague suggested that we dine here after we concluded a series of successful meetings in London. I was a bit skeptical because I have not found steakhouses in the UK or Ireland that had tender and flavorful steaks liked I am used to in the US. I ordered a filet which came out perfect. For dessert, I tried their White Chocolate Cheesecake, their take on a nostalgic cuddle in a bowl doled out at the table with a "say when" approach to portion control. Our server claimed that it was better than New York Style Cheesecake. As a New Yorker, I felt that I had to challenge him. The Cheesecake was nothing like New York Style Cheesecake, and it was delicious. The restaurant is in the basement. The brick walls and decor created a great atmosphere to enjoy a good meal. Our server engaged us in some good conversation which enhanced the experience. read more

Our waiter James made the entire night!! He was so kind and entertaining! I went with my family to celebrate getting married that weekend and we got complimentary Prosecco which was so so kind and so fun! We've been to a few Blacklocks and it never disappoints! We always order the chops for half the people at the table and one ginormous steak. It works for us every time! The big steak was a little too cooked but it worked out. My mom loved the marrow! I personally am a huge fan of the kale Parmesan salad! read more

Food was okay. I expected more, however they only gave me one sheet of menu, where no steak was included. At the same time I saw other customers were having steak. Service: there was barely any service. I went there alone. Not sure if that's a problem, but they didn't even offer me a table. I was seated on the side bar which was very uncomfortable. Probably won't come here again due to the bad experience. read more

I went for a Sunday Roast in Blacklock Shoreditch and I loved it. However, I was a bit disappointed by this branch. I had a Rump Fillet which was just OK and some Barbecued Baby Gems which were actually really great. Service was just average and a bit slow. read more

I have eaten here twice now, on two different trips to London. I was surprised to see so few reviews in Yelp. This place is amazing! My group ordered "All In" and a few pitchers of Old Fashioned. We were not disappointed either time. The meat is cooked quite well and served on top of some fresh bread strips that soak up all the tasty juices from the meat. Even if you are avoiding carbs, you will fight for that bread under the pile of meat! The appetizers and sides were all well prepared, presented, and most importantly quite tasty! The pitcher of Old Fashioned was likewise well prepared, presented, and served. I highly recommend the pitcher if you have two or more people in your party who like Old Fashion cocktails. You will not be disappointed! read more

This is the spot for meat lovers! But, having not been in the mood to eat so much meat, I opted for a balance and was pleasantly surprised with the burrata. It was light and well balanced- went very nicely with the heavier course read more

If you're a foodie and love steak, this is the place for you. But Dine before 7:30 in order to get your choice of cut because when the meat runs out, the meat is out. Great cocktails too! read more

Wear your stretchy pants and come HUNGRY. service is tops, beer is tops, steak is tops. Almost skipped dessert and that would have been a grave mistake. The cheesecake is so good, you could pop in just for dessert and it's a win. read more
