So glad i basically scheduled my afternoon around my reservation here. The service team are outstanding: smiles throughout the service and equally efficient, a sizable team for a relatively small venue. Extremely friendly people. To the food. Sunday roast lived up to my expectations for this place with the complementary elements to the roast so perfectly executed (the potatoes wow). Gravy had to get two servings haha. Horseradish flavorful not overpowering and the apple sauce can eat straight up. Minted peas was superbly balanced. Overall, well deserving of the 5 stars read more

Very beautiful restaurant, cozy and nice! Not a huge choice of cuts but what they have is tasty and could fit for many types of people... Small portions to big sharable cuts... AND they have bone marrow with garlic which is heaven on a steak. They cook the meat to the right temperature and have amazing chips, crispy salty and tasty. Very good service, the waiter was patient answered all of our questions. To be honest I can't believe that Flat Iron has a higher rating than this place... but oh well :) read more

Wow! Simply the best Sunday roast ever !!! Booked here after seeing a picture on either Instagram or Twitter of there all in Sunday roast. It looked Awesome! Had a cocktail to start - a vesper something which was just right. Shared the all in Sunday roast - a delicious platter of beef, lamb, pork with roast potatoes, carrots, greens and a massive Yorkshire pudding. Accompanied with bone marrow gravy and some crackling. It was super delicious! I couldn't complaint or dislike anything. Had a cheeky glass of Cali Pinot Noir with it. Service was spot on. Price - a bargain! If in London and wanting a Sunday roast GO HERE!!!? read more

A friend made reservations here for 530pm to try the Sunday roast. As New Yorkers slowly navigating the streets of London I'm glad to say we found this place relatively easily. The restaurant's front door is quite narrow and to my surprise it is located in the basement. After walking down the stairs we were pleasantly surprised by the decor and atmosphere of the place. All the staff was super attentive and friendly. We got seated immediately and pretty much ordered one of everything on the menu. The appetizers was a scallop dish and a pigs head dish. Both were absolutely amazing! Next we ordered all 3 meat options to try. I personally don't like lamb so I didn't try it but my friend thought it was good. The pork was great, i loved how they included pieces of fat still attached to the meat so the meat wasn't so try. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and was tender. All the sides were interesting but the meat dishes itself came with awesome veggies and the Yorkshire pudding was so good! (In new york they are called popovers so that was something new to learn for me) read more

If you didn't know this place existed you wouldn't be able to find it. Very much hidden from the hustle and bustle. Staff are so friendly and more than happy to answer questions about cuts of meat. The waiter suggested All In for £20. Each person gets 4 chops each served on top of a flat bread so all that meat juice is soaked into the bread mm delicious !!! The cuts of meat are large and cooked to perfection. Melt in the mouth experience awaits when you eat here. I couldn't finish it all and ended up taking a doggy bag! read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant. I was only in London for 6 days but figured out a way to eat there 3 times. The Sunday roast was amazing. The best steak I've ever had. The service was 5 stars. The drinks are amazing as well. read more

This is the best Sunday roast in London, hands down. Make reservations far in advance so that you can get a table and not stress! The prices are very fair for the amount and quality of the food you get, and the cocktails are lovely. We visited in celebration of my college graduation and my boyfriend passing his veterinary school exams- and they surprised us with dessert and the sweetest messages! I make sure to visit here every time I'm in the U.K. and can't wait to be back again!! read more

Tasty meats, really fun place to hang out. Drinks were on point, meats were nicely done. Chips were interesting, almost like they were dried and bit and then fried. There were good though. Very fun atmosphere, especially if you are into the 80's-90's music scene. read more

5 of us went for the "all in" , tasty starters so off to a good start. When the chops arrived piled onto one plate, we were concerned we had over ordered. However with the sides this was just right! Everything was cooked just beautifully! read more

Pretty much faultless. The service was excellent from the moment I arrived. Food was incredible - go for the prime rib if your budget can stretch - and an 'all in' as a starter between 3 of us was plenty. Great beer selection and very well priced cocktails - the negroni was sublime and old fashioned up there with the best I've had - both a fiver! Such a cool vibe in there as well - a gorgeously decorated underground spot with great music and an easy going crowd. Loved it and will be back! read more

Wow, what can I say about this place. We had 3 people and we ordered the platter for 2 and it was more then we could eat. The chops were all delicious, the appetizers were amazing.

Omfg I would come back just for the marrow gravy. And the cracklings. Yorkshire's the size of a baby's head hiding a roasted potato. All in roast ( beef, lamb and pork) was amazing. Wanted to miniaturize the staff and I've space and bring it all home with me. read more

Good value, service and food. We ordered the "all in" which is a great deal. Comes with 3 starter samples, Tons of meats and a side for each participant. All for 20 pounds. Nice vibe. The salad was too salty and the chips weren't as great as I was led to believe but definitely a good find. read more

This restaurant deserves 19 stars! We got pretty much everything from the menu and it was delicious, did not take enough pics tho. Burrata toast was so savory. Bread and gravy was so unique, even when I dont usually eat gravy. Ribeye was perfection. Service was top notch. Thank you for making my hubby birthday so special and yummy. read more

Amazing value. The All In lunch is 20 pounds and includes all starters (three different small bites on crackers -- the kimchi one was my fave), and a plate full of chops (lamb, beef, and pork) to share plus a side per person. Cocktails also start at 5 pounds. The pork belly was by far the best meat in the selection, but everything was tasty and hearty. A good choice for a carb free lunch. read more

Pretty good food and value on the wine, but our visit was sadly let down by a poor experience with our waitress. We arrived and were seated about 730pm on a Saturday, ordered our food and were finishing off our wine. Around 9pm the waitress informed us that they had people waiting for tables and wondered if we needed anything else. My friend and I each had half a glass of wine remaining, and there were several free tables in the restaurant. I enquired as to what the alternative to finishing our wine at the table was and her response was something like "you came I without a booking in soho on a Saturday and we need the table back". We weren't given a time limit when we sat down and her abrasive tone and attitude was extremely unpleasant! We informed the manager who apologised profusely and offered us a small discount on our bill which was appreciated, but honestly I won't return to risk being treated so rudely by the waitstaff! read more

London chophouse in Soho. Located one level below ground, Blacklock has a hip urban and almost warehouse feel. The bar is well stocked and for food, you can order 'All In' which is a sampling of all the chops they have for the night over a baked flatbread drenched in oils. The chops were the most fatty cuts I've ever had and melted in my mouth. There is a minimum of 2 people to order this. One member of our party had gluten and dairy allergies (meat has butter) so he was able to get the meat on a separate plate. The 'All In' order also comes with a side which include options for barbecue gems (grilled lettuce), chips, baked courgette (zucchini) with Doddington cheese. There are of course many drinks options including beer, wine and cocktails. For wine, you can choose between 125, 250, 700 and 1000 mL. The wine list isn't that big. The reds are came from California or the south of France. Nice chophouse for anyone who loves meat and wants to eat it in a hip basement eatery! read more

Ok ok, we came here our last night with no reservation. They told us it take 3 months to get a reservation, but to come back at 4:30. We came back, and the host remembered us and found two seats for my mom and I. Hands down the best service and experience. The food was quick and delicious I still think about it being back in Texas. Our server was wonderful. The cheesecake was to dieeeee for. Honestly this place is way worth the hype and we are so grateful for the host that looked out for us and our wonderful waitress! Would recommend over and over! read more

Warning- not for vegetarians For anyone else looking for quite possibly the best chops - lamb, pork, beef... stop looking. Go down the stairs and enter into an old school restaurant where the food is the star and the service is first rate. We entered the Blacklock as they were opening on a Thursday night, early but we were hungry from a long day of shopping. We had no reservation but they sat us. Within a half hour the place was full up. We ordered the All In for the four of us and the fun started. Amazing drinks, the Old Fashioned was on point and the Mule with honey bourbon, ginger beer and chilie was surprisingly fun. The beef dripping chips were the best fries we've ever had and the beet salad was good. But the star of the meal was the platter of various meat cuts placed before us. Wow. We topped off the meal with a house made cheesecake and fresh berries. Best Dinner. Complements to the staffs they worked seamlessly together read more

My daughter is a foodie and found this place on Yelp while we were visiting London from the US. We showed up on Sunday at 2:00 hoping we could get a reservation. They were booked out 3 mo in advance. The gentleman said come back @ 4:30 and if anyone has cancelled we could be on a list for walk ins. We came back and luckily we got a table! The service was awesome and the food was the perfect ending to our trip! Great price too! Everyone was so nice as well. I had the beef roast & my daughter the lamb. The potatoes, gravy & Yorkshire pudding was delicious!! We had wine and the cheesecake for dessert! Our server was so great and super friendly! Get your reservations in now! Highly recommended!! read more

Blacklock - Beef and Lamb Roast. - British Near Me - London, XGL

Calling all meat eaters.. yeah, I'm talking to you! This is a meat lover's dream with a menu option called "All In" where you can get a generous plate of varied meats with a choice of side, as well as a starters plate, for £20. The restaurant is tucked away in a basement and is not very large, but it makes it cozy. I think it would be awesome for a date night or group setting because it's comfortably casual but trendy. As for the good stuff... The starters plate includes three small bites that truly complement the rustic meal to follow. Having a party of more than two is beneficial when ordering different sides bc they're all good for sharing. The sweet potato and chips/fries are ones you can't go wrong with. The kale would have probably been my favorite if there wasn't an excessive amount of parmesan (my serving must have been a one off). The side with the apple is a popular side, and I can taste why - it was sweet, tart, crunchy, and healthier?? It was delicious and that's all that matters. However, there is one part of the meal that must be underrated.. and that's the bread that sits underneath all the meats, soaking in all that goodness. I bet people forget that it's there, but do yourself a favor and don't be one of those people! I docked off one star due to service. The service was very slow, considering it was a Saturday evening. I don't usually complain about timing at restaurants, but it really did take ages for someone to come and take our orders. Our waitress was lovely. She threw in an extra Small Bites platter since all of us but one ordered the "All In" option (small bites included), and she said she didn't want our friend to feel left out. Unfortunately, shortly after explaining her good deed, she knocked over a bottle of coke over my friend's white canvas tote. It was such a bad spill, that the coke even went into the tote where there was a new white sweater! My heart broke a little, seeing the gorgeous white being stained by dark soda. Our waitress was very apologetic, but nothing else could be done after that except to eat our feelings. For that experience, I would knock off two stars, but the food was just that great, that I put one back. Be careful of potential spills! Enjoy! read more

Had to reserve in advance. This place is for carnivores only. We went "all in". The starters were amazing! I'm still thinking about them. Meat was cooked beautifully, and the sauces that we ordered went along well, especially garlic and bone marrow sauce! read more

Oh my word. So many delicious chops! Fantastic meat, marinated and grilled to perfection - melt in the mouth pork, well-seasoned lamb, properly seared aged steak... you couldn't ask for much more! Blacklock really does well what it advertises: it's a chop house, plain and simple. Side dishes are hearty things like kale and parmesan, veg with blue cheese, and so on... and the only thing you need on your chops are the spicy mayo or the fantastic "green sauce". It's a pricey place, but you get what you pay for. Written on chalk are the available "big chops" of the day, and you'll rack (sorry) up quite a bill ordering some of the prime cuts - but I can tell from the pictures on Yelp that it's really worth it, if you're a party at dinner. We went for lunch, so had to scale back a little. 2 of us went in on the platter, where you get all the starters, all the small chops, and a side for £20 each. This definitely seemed like the best value-for money deal. We were stuffed full and couldn't stop describing just how delicious the pork was! You know a good chop when even the fatty bits are melt and the mouth, to-die-for deliciousness. Friends went for the pork chop sandwich; a couple complained that part of it was a little gristly but generally were satisfied overall. I think they have just been jealous of our huge chop platter! They served some good beers too, and I can imagine coming back with a party for dinner or taking some meat-loving friends for a real treat. Forget your barbecue places - slow roasted and smothered in sweet, sticky sauce - this place is seasoned slabs of only the best meat. Simple, effective, heavenly! read more

If you are a big fan of your chops, whether it is beef, pork or lamb than Blacklock might just be the place. The restaurant is all about chops which can be order in a single portion or in a stack. If you want to try all the chops then the All In can be a good choice, which is available for a minimum of two people. The meal include starting with crisp which you get a choice of flavours (Cheese and Pickle, Filthy Ham, Egg and Anchovy). This is not crisps like we all know, but similar to crackers with different toppings - like canapés. Each crisps has it's own unique flavours, I don't think i could pick out one as my favourite. However I thought the cheese and pickle was great appetiser to start a meal. The Anchovy will definitely won't be those who not fan of the fishy taste of anchovy. Following from the crisps was the main stars - the chops and our choice of side. As we ordered three All In, we tried the ash roasted sweet potato, heritage carrots & meat radish and charred courgettes, chicory and stilton. My favourite was the sweet potatoes, which was sweet and soft. It complimented well with the chops. For some thing that will help open appetite with all the meat would be the heritage carrots & meat radish. The meat of the evening has to be the lamb chops. I was less keen on the pork belly as it was really fatty. I could hardly see any meat but just fat. The beef short ribs was nice and do not mind it is pink but preferred it was more cook, instead I felt it was too rare for me. I actually felt beef short ribs is not suited to be rare. The pork chop was another favourite that evening after the lamb chops. Overall being the first opening day the food was okay, service was good and a nice rustic concept. read more

It's been 3 days since I went to Blacklock but I'm still dreaming of the food and wishing I could eat there every day. There are a range of meaty options but we went for the all in - a plate of different chops to share, with nibbles to start and a side each. The chops were cooked beautifully and the 10 hour ash roasted sweet potato is just something else. We even opted for another dish of it instead of pudding! Not to forget, the cocktails are a fiver and very tasty, would recommend the nettle gimlet. The service was delightful and I'll be back soon! read more

On the 26th of December I made a booking via email to sohoreservations@theblacklock.com, per their website and phone message instructions. I advised them that I had a party of six and we were flying in from out of the country for Sunday Roast on 27 December at 6pm. We arrived at Heathrow Airport on December 27th and there was no response from Blacklock. I sent a follow-up email to confirm our booking and again didn't receive a response. After multiple attempts, I finally was able to speak with a receptionist to confirm our reservations. She said she did not show our reservation. She as-a-matter-of -factly stated we didn't receive a confirmation because they were probably full. Blacklock apparently feels that it is acceptable to not inform guests that they are unable to accept reservations so guests can make other arrangements . The receptionist offered names of other restaurants, but they too were completely booked due to the lateness of our booking request. Additionally, their website states walk-ins welcome and after 6pm, the restaurant primarily accepts walk-ins. Don't believe it. Very disappointing. read more

A great place for meat lovers. It also recently got into the 100 Best Restaurants in England, which they totally deserve! The prices are also really good when you think that they serve fresh meat. The meat was cooked to perfection, my favourites were the beef steak and the pork belly. Actually everything was so delicious. I could make an entire meal only out of the starters and sides, they were that good. You also can't miss out on the sauces they offer to choose to be served, especially the bone marrow one. Just close your eyes and eat! The cheesecake also came highly recommended, but there simply was no room. Definitely will have to get that next time. Because there will be a next time. read more

Following the advise of the concierge at the Kimpton Fitzroy London, I experienced probably one of them best steakhouses in London The place is built for a young generation. Away from the seriousness of wood panels and low lighting Blocklock is situated in a basement amidst busy tables and patrons loudly sharing stories. Beef is presented in different sizes and is purchased by the gram. Take the lead form your server to understand the ordering process and what is available since daily they have a finite number of them. Wine list is not the best but enough to carry the fantastic beef offerings. The highlight of the night: the price. Finally an affordable steakhouse that does not sacrifice quality. A place not to miss when in London!!!! read more

Mama, can I have some chops? Chops you shall have dear, for here are all the chops you can ever hope to order. Can't decide? Then go for the All in, which includes all the chops available, there were two different types of lamb chops, a beef chop and a pork chop to brighten up your day here. As my party went during the pre launch, understandably the queues were superlong, the customers were super demanding, and the staff were all run off their feet! The service was a tad slow (especially drinks!) but we can't blame them as there is only one poor lady making the concoctions of cocktails (super super alcoholic btw!) and then not enough staff to run around collecting orders, cleaning tables, dishing out chops etc. The pork chop was also slightly raw for 2 of my party but they changed it for them and since then more of my friends have gone and the issue seems to have been resolved. The starters (this reminds me of Ritz biscuits, you're not really getting crisps) were interesting but not something I would come here for specifically. The other sides we ordered apart from sweet potato were unspectacular. The drinks were also very dull looking and tasting. Best value order: All in, plus sweet potato sides. The breads that soaked in the juices of the chops were oh so amazing. You can choose the chops in your all in if they have enough of those chops left. read more

DANG this place is good. I'm still in a filthy meat coma as I'm writing this, but it needs to be said. Came here for dinner tonight and all three of us got the "all in": £20 each for three crispbread hors d'oeuvres, a honkin' big plate of beef, pork, and lamb chops, three strips of meat grease-soaked focaccia and three different sides. All in all, considering there are places out there charging £20 for a single burger (ahem), not a bad deal. Service was fast and the vibe was casual American, which is a nice way to describe what is essentially a meat-inhaling cavern underground. Step through an unassuming slim black door to the basement, where we were able to be seated immediately at 7:30 in soho on a Thursday night. That in itself was fantastic. The cocktails are only a fiver each, but the best part is the food. Small rounds of crispbread kick the meal off - the anchovy and egg is a perfect mix of sharp saltiness and creamy egg. Then a huge plate of meat piled high arrives, hot, crispy on the outside and nicely salted. Pork chops, lamb chops, short ribs, t-bones... Not sure what else was in there but it was delicious. The sweet potato side is an awesome complement, and the fries have an amazing textural contrast between the soft interior and thick crispy skin. There was no room for dessert, as many jugs of water were imbibed to keep our sodium levels from skyrocketing. This place rocks - it's not an everyday joint, but huge value and an awesome meal for a treat. Now back to the meat coma. read more

Have waited a while to come here and I'm really glad I finally made it. What man (and woman) can't be interested in a chop specific restaurant?!? Well it was worth the wait and the food was excellent. We went for the 'all-in' £20 per person for a selection of the chops, 2 sides and some nibbles. I was a little disappointed we didn't get the beef chops as part of the mix but the lamb and pork (a selection of ribs, belly and chops) were all superb. tasty and superbly cooked. nice sauces, all the mustards, and the vege sides we chose lovely, if a little small on portion size. beers were decent. didn't have any wine. service was good and it had a nice atmosphere. i was tempted to give it 5 stars solely for the soundtrack, jimmy barnes, toto, meat loaf. amazing. read more

Wouldn't go if you have Food allergies. I emailed a request months ahead and placed a booking asking if they could accommodate, they seemed very positive and confirmed it would not be a problem. How ever on the day they didn't know anything about it. They "Confirmed with the chef every thing I could eat was safe" but a dish I was served had the allergen in and I ended up going for Medical attention as I had a life threatening allergic reaction. I wish they had taken it seriously, we paid a lot of money and it didn't end well. read more

She went above and beyond to really make the experience a unique and memorable one.
