    White chocolate cheesecake with winter berries
    Lauren P.

    If you're looking to have a classic Sunday roast with fun vibes, you've got to come to Blacklock! The staff here are incredible and made the meal that much more memorable. We originally had a 5:45 reso, but were so hungry, we tried our luck and showed up 30 minutes early....and still got seated right away despite it being packed! The hosts were really nice about it too. We already knew we wanted to get the Sunday Roast All In which includes: Pork Loin, Beef Rump, Lamb, Yorkshire puddings, duck fat roasted potatoes, carrots, greens, unlimited gravy, and three sauces. I'm not usually a meat and potatoes fan, but this was delicious and such a fun and unique experience (for Americans anyway). We topped off our meal with some scrumptious White Chocolate Cheesecake with winter berries. Special shoutout to Agus our waitress - she was funny, friendly, and so attentive. Give her a raise!

    Made a res for the Sunday roast in the evening and had my expectations beyond met!! giant Yorkshire puddings, the meat was succulent and tender, amazing variety of veggies but the star of the show was 1000% the gravy. Incredible rich flavor and was almost more like a jus - asked for refills because it was that good. Service was actually top notch as we had one person running late but they allowed us to put in orders ahead of time. Our res was the last seating of the day and the restaurant closed shortly after, but we were allowed to stay and eat at our own leisure. Ambiance was pretty lively and cozy, I enjoyed it. Top notch experience and filling portions, highly recommend

    best filet mignon i have ever had in my life. peppercorn sauce was the bomb. a pub like atmosphere. Very reasonable prices. 26 pounds for a large filet. the sweet potatoes were amazing. service was spectacular. loved our Italian waitress. adorable. drinks were good. the salad with anchovies was okay. a little watery. the white chocolate cheesecake was ridunculously phenomenal.

    Wow!! People line up before they open so come with a reservation! Restaurant is full in minutes of opening. Sunday roast is only on Sundays and until sellout. We got the all in which is 29 pounds per person. For the value and what you're getting it is a good deal. We left stuffed. Comes with lamb, pork, beef, potatoes and cabbage and Yorkshire pudding. The meat was delicious and well cooked. I loved the Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Ask for all the horseradish. Highly recommend.

    Very lively place with music loud but the staff amazing and friendly. Came highly recommended to eat here as their Sunday roast is one of the best London has to offer. Me and the wife ordered Their All-In which was amazing and for starter we ordered the Mushroom on a sourdough toast.

    We wanted to do Sunday roast in London at Blacklock there are several options around London We lucked out and got reservations at shoreditch! This is a little ways outside the tourist district but an easy bus/tube ride. This is hands down the best Sunday roast we've had in London! The food was so excellent! We got the roast to share which had pork, lamb, and beef. The gravy (that they will refill) was addicting! All the meats were perfectly tender! The Yorkshire pudding was excellent & was great for dipping in the gravy! We added the side of cheesy cauliflower, it was excellent but the roast veggies that come with the roast were better. The white chocolate cheesecake for dessert is a must do! Service was also excellent! The staff here is so kind! This is a more expensive Sunday roast but worth it and the quality is great!

    GRAVY!

    SUNDAY ROAST for the WIN!!! We had researched this, months before our trip. One of our friends coincidentally mentioned that he tried to dine there but hadn't made a reservation and was not able to get in. We booked a 11:45 table about a month and a half before we travelled. We arrived at 11:30 and saw a few other people waiting outside. The restaurant opens at noon. When we stepped in, we were greeted with smiles and taken to a table where the host asked if we had been before. My partner told him that it was our first time, and he gave her a huge hug and told her that everything would be okay. I said hey, where's mine? And he walked over and me a big hug as well. A server came and asked what kind of water we wanted, flat or bubbly. After the water was delivered, I asked for a glass of ice and that was also promptly delivered. We each ordered a mocktail to have something to drink beside water. I got a Wavelength Spritz and she got the Lemonade Cooler. Our server came and introduced himself and asked if we had any questions. The menu is pretty straight forward. We placed our order and soon we had food! She ordered the Beef Roast. I ordered the Lamb Roast. Each comes with two slices of meat, seasonal veg, duck fat roast potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding and as much gravy as you need. We also ordered Cauliflower & Four Cheeses as a side. Everything was on point delicious. There wasn't a single disappointment other than we had to leave after we were done eating. We shared the meats so we each tasted both. Definitely worth a return visit if we ever get to London again.

    The value of this place is insane. The steaks were perfectly cooked and well seasoned and the price is incredibly reasonable. A couple cocktails, a couple glasses of wine each, a couple steaks all for 100 pounds?! Insane. Highly recommend...servers were awesome too. Oh yeah the sweet potatoes

    Steak sarnie
    Sophie S.

    A triple threat! Fantastic food/drinks, service, and ambiance. We started off with some seasonal spritzes which were flavorful and light for summer. We also had the beef dripping chips (yum- must order!!) with gravy to start and since I have a dairy sensitivity the waiter offered-insisted to make another gravy with no butter which was incredibly thoughtful. My boyfriend and I ordered the steak sarnie to share, however they misunderstood and brought two sandwiches (which ended up working out because the sandwich was so good I ate it all !) but took the second off of the bill. The overall customer service was outstanding and one of the best if not the best I have ever experienced at a restaurant. When in London this is a must try! I can't wait to return and try their famous Sunday roast as well in their upscale, cozy "pub".

    This mushroom toast was legit!

    Sunday Roast like your mum's if your mum was Julia Child. Delicious roast and trimmings at a fantastic price. My son drank the gravy!!

    Very solid Sunday roast. Went with the all-in, which included lamb, pork and beef. Lamb was the highlight for me, though the drackling with the pork was also great. Thought the gravy was also a standout. Only disappointment was very few starter options, and I love starters.

    mango beer
    Juan B.

    Wow. What a great steakhouse, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of London. The staff were fun and very helpful with choosing orders. We couldn't make up our minds on the cuts of meat so we just went with the "All In" which is essentially a pile of grilled meat. Perfectly cooked, grilled meat! The mango beer was also good and paired well with the food. The cheesecake was fantastic and came in a literal sheet tray that they scoop out of in front of you. It's a great place for a date or for a group of friends to hang out after work.

    Fillet, broccoli salad, and simple salad in middle
    Emily H.

    The service was amazing and food was to die for! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone in London, even if it's out of your way it's worth the trip! The food is reasonably priced for being so delicious. I ordered the fillet and it was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The broccoli salad was also so good! I wish I could come back for more :(

The host was friendly and hospitable and made small talk as she led us to our table upstairs. They had a great, spacious bar downstairs as well that was appealing. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. It has a cozy and modern feel to it with the unique metal chain window 'curtains', pipe style light chandeliers, church pew style or padded booths as well as table and bar seating. They have a huge deer made out of pennies as decor above the entrance as well as a bull decopaged with paper bills upstairs. The upstairs overlooks the lower floor in a balcony style. I appreciated the view to outside with the 20 foot windows below. Perfect for my first people watching experience in London. We were greeted from our server right away and she made wine and cocktail recommendations to start. We had a burger from the main course as well as scallops and the salmon three ways from the starters. The burger was generous, very juicy and flavorful. Would recommend and try this again. The scallops were a decent size and came four to an order. The salmon trio was great. One was like a butter salmon you could put on the bread, the second a small piece of raw salmon and the third more like a salmon spread. Overall, great atmosphere, service and food. I would recommend them!

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.

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

    Nice steak restaurant with high quality steaks/food, but I have to say, it is very overpriced…read more Chateaubriand steak (93 GBP for 600g) - This lean cut of steak was cooked to a perfect medium and pretty good. However, it was a whopping 93 GBP for 600g, which is meant to share between 2 people, but still not that much (refer to my pic). This is simply just too high of a price for this. Bone marrow and onions (12 GBP) - This was surprisingly good. Although the marrow itself didn't have much of a flavor, it was a nice buttery consistency to spread on the bread. The onions were cooked very well. Sticky Toffee Pudding (9.50 GBP) - This was more of a bread like dessert than a pudding, but was tasty and not overly sweet despite the toffee (which is good). The staff are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The service speed is pretty quick. The interior is decorated in a nice yet not too pretentious steakhouse style. There were still plenty of open tables available on a Sunday night. Overall, while the steak and food are very good, the steak is simply too overpriced to justify me getting it again. Maybe worth trying once but not twice. I would potentially come back for the other menu options though.

We were seated with no reservation, but we did come closer to closing time. Staff warned us that we did need to order and get any drinks we wanted sooner rather than later, but that was OK. I got the flat iron steak because of course I had to try the namesake of the place. I got it with the side of roasted aubergine, tomato, basil, and mozzarella. I did not enjoy the side because of the very mushy texture, so that was a bit of a bummer. The steak itself was pretty delish. As a cocktail I had their passion fruit Collins which was very refreshing. I found that overall in London the cocktails were all on point pretty much everywhere we went. We had noticed that any person leaving the restaurant always had ice cream, and when we were finished with the meal we did get the little silver cleavers and our free sweet treat. I appreciated the straightforward menu and the ambience, which is casual but also stylish and not pretentious at all, just relaxed and cozy with softer lighting and a good flow.

    Shoutout to our cabbie who, when asked "If you could eat anywhere near The Ned, where would you…read morego?" didn't miss a beat before declaring: Hawksmoor. We had zero expectations, but ended up having what might be our favorite meal of the whole trip. The staff? Absolute gems -- especially patient with us Texans who came armed with 400 questions (bless them). The restaurant's tucked downstairs, and here's a tip: book bar seating. Not at the bar, but in the room with the bar. It's cozier, prettier, and avoids the more standard dining space. The vibe? Understated elegance. Think cozy meets classy without any of the snobbery. Now, let's talk food. The Yorkshire pudding was no slouch, but the vegetarian Wellington--oh man. I was fully prepared to mourn the absence of beef, but it turns out blasphemy tastes incredible. Rich, flavorful, and completely unexpected. My jaw said "wow" before my brain could form a sentence. Would we go back? In a heartbeat. And possibly request the same cabbie for more divine dining directions.

We both ordered it and the server notified us that it is a vegetarian dish so I am wondering if this mistake occurs frequently and they need to make it more apparent in the menu. The server was a little rude when I was asking questions about the menu since in America we use different terminology, and he expressed how impatient he was for my questions. He was also not extremely present at the table. Luckily for us other servers tended to us as well. The other dishes that we ordered were very good and I would definitely come to this place again.
