Blacklock in City of London, Westminster

I ordered their burger, thick cut chips and coleslaw. I can't fault the cookery of the meat but everything tasted a bit too bland and boring. Especially for the price! The cheesecake was nice but the spoon it comes with is better suited to eating soup!

One of the best experiences!!!!

Amazing absolutely the best Steak in London

Fantastic chops. We always go for the All In. Beer is served by the schooner / half pint which is novel. Always a good vibe and busy; so a reliably good option in London. You usually need to book in advance!

A small , busy , friendly place for casual dining , great quality meat and excellent service . Simple menu well done. Nice range of price options available from good to lavish, nice wine list.

Bit of a wait for a table but worth every minute as the steak was divine. Normally have peppercorn sauce with steak and was given an extra "house sauce", which I think was Blacklock Gravy. I have a new favourite sauce now......

Blacklock never disappoints when you want a good quality steak. I have eaten at a couple of the locations in London and the food is always great. Good service, Phil was extremely good at his job and looked after us well. Came with 2 friends and everyone loved the meal and all came out of here praising the meal we had. Can't beat the big steaks! Always a no brainer.

Have been a regular for mslany years, but last time the meat was a little over cooked, might have been a one off, let's hope!

Great place, Sunday roast is amazing

Great service, lush dessert (get the cheesecake), damn good cocktails and it's cosy inside so perfect for winter. Don't share the chips, you won't want to share.

My sister and I dined here last weekend. We had the pre chop bites, the 'all in' with chips and parmesan kale as sides and a bread and butter pudding to share. I also had a pint of beer, a glass of red wine and what I can only describe as a boozy blackforrest gateaux drink. The food and the service were top notch and I would highly recommend Blacklock to everyone. The venue is in a basement and it's compact but the tables aren't on top of each other and although quite noisy when full it was still a great place to be. Thank you

Amazing Sunday roast. We ordered the all-in platter (pork loin, beef rump, and lamb) with all the trimmings to share with our friends visiting London. The meat was tender and juicy, and the Yorkshire puddings were fluffy. We enjoyed all of it. The service was great. Our waitress gave us more trimmings as we were also sharing the platter with our little one. Dessert was white chocolate cheesecake which was delicious. Overall a great place conveniently located for a casual dinner out with friends!

They say its fully booked but a lot of tables are clearly available..

1st dinner at London , good start . Wonderful all in platter , lamb was outstanding than pork/ beef . Remind to save some room for the cheese cake .

Great place to take your mates for a meat feast - the ‘All in’ is a great tasting selection and good value for a hungry table. Definitely this one on your list…

650g prime ribs cook with medium is really amazing! The best

Super service by John, really enjoyed the food and atmosphere, definitely worth a visit!

Very friendly staff, the garlic bone marrow is a good supplement to the sirloin. The fat included in the steak is a bit too much though. Chips are cripsy, but nothing special.

It was very good and not too expensive for the location!

Such a fabulous place! We walked in on a Tuesday lunchtime and managed to get seated. The place was buzzing and full of people having fun. Our waiter was brilliant and really added so much value. We ordered a 700gram steak to share- honestly one of the tastiest I’ve had. And then to top it off my other half had the cheese cake and they gave me a free bonus bowl of cheesecake topping because I have coeliac disease and missed cheesecake! Just an absolute gem of a place! Would highly recommend, and even more so if you have a gluten allergy!

Outstanding service which is rare these days! Stunning food that delivered on taste, quantity and quality! 👏🏼

Absolutely wonderful place. Just a plain door in the street that opened up in to one of London's best kept secrets. Food was delicious. Service from Nicholas was the best. Will be coming back very soon. Love, love, love this place x

Federico was fabulous, couldn’t fault him. . Food was lovely but came out warm so went cold quite quickly. Hot plates would be ideal, especially as there’s so much food

Banging food wise as all blacklocks are but I'd recommend a different branch over this one, it's quite small and the service always feels rushed / intense.

A lovely, filling meal. The sauces accompanying were divine and the meat was delicious. A fabulous dining experience with exceptional staff.

Requires advance reservation, crowds, but nice experience Give me a complimentary solution The service is excellent

Fantastic and the service was incredible

Subpar, mediocre food. Everything was just very okay, which is poor value for the price. Other steakhouses offer much better fare.

Our steaks were cooked perfectly. The chips were amazing. The sweet potatoes were melt in your mouth. No room for cheesecake but will find that out once home. Lucy was amazing, impeccable service and attention and her recommendation of mixing 2 sauces really made the difference in the meal. Best meal and experience I've had in London so far.

Got reccomended to visit the soho one, in Great windmill st. Went along today ( 20/11/2024 for my birthday. We had the all in & it was just incredible ,from the 3 tasters each & then to the main chops & chunks of various meats sat on fresh ciabatta bread which then soaked up all the meat juices..4 sides & also wonderful crispy beef dripping chips ..cannot fault a single thing. We had dark rich chocolate sorbet & also a zingy raspberry sorbet to finish both simply divine. The staff were attentive & so truly wonderful. I popped to the loo & on returning my sorbets were sat on an happy birthday plate with a lit candle glimmering away ..A very simple but a most beautiful & generous touch. I will be back there again very soon ..

Really friendly service and great steak

It's an underground restaurant, so it looks unassuming from the entrance but you have to go through the inside door an down the stairs. The room isn't very large and filled up quickly after it opened at noon. Most people had reservations, but they tried to accomodate walk ins where possible. It did get quite noisy once the place was full, so not a place for intimate conversation. It was still packed when we left around 1.45pm. The service was magnificent. Massive thanks to our server who talked me through options that could cater to my particular dietary issues. We didn't get an official starter like mushrooms on toast. Instead we ordered the seasonal limited edition Christmas in a Bun and it was cut in half for us. For sides we got beef dripping chips and the broccoli salad with walnuts. Mains we got a sirloin and a prime rib. We got the garlic bone marrow to go with our dishes, which was outstanding. We were too full for dessert, but the white chocolate cheesecake looked like the one to pick. Or the other one that sounded nice was bread and butter pudding. The total for food and drinks (beers and a mocktail) came to £173.25 (including service ). Many people come for the Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. Think the cauliflower cheese is only available then. Follow here and the IG link in profile for more travel and food and drink tips, ideas and reviews!

Typical English pub, excellent beer, lunch on Sunday taking advantage of the typical roast, chosen with 3 different meats: pork, Wellington and chicken. Everything excellent and well cooked, helpful staff.

I always have a great time at blacklock! First time since Covid and it’s still just as delicious. We went ‘all in’ and the chops were delicious - so flavourful and tender. Great sides too, despite being in a meat/chops restaurant, we loved the salads! I’ll always keep coming back, so so good.

Wow,wow and wow we booked this place for Sunday dinner at 1pm and everything was excellent the friendly service of all the staff ,the food was amazing ,the atmosphere and ambience of the small room was great .We will definitely be back here when we are in town again

Absolutely superb .. Definitely coming back and will recommend to all the tourists on my tours .. Thank You

Ate alone and loved the experience.... Comfortable in every sense, friendly/accommodating staff and great food.

Blacklock Soho is an absolute gem. The staff are incredibly welcoming and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The food is simply outstanding – perfectly cooked, generously portioned, and packed with flavour. The cheesecake is fantastic and the perfect way to end a meal. Highly recommend. Embankment Group.

Went for Sunday lunch and tried the shared roast. It was plenty and really tasty. I definitely recommend it although the beef was a little too rare for me so you may wish to consider this. The portions were plenty and the price was really good value. We had lashings of gravy as it kept being topped up and it was delicious. We also tried the cauliflower cheese which was just what I wanted, cheesy and crispy on top. Drinks were reasonable like most prices in London. Service was good. You absolutely need to book as many people were turned away.

Popped into Blacklock before a show, so was a little rushed to get in and out. But it worked out well, or almost did. The service was great, staff knowledgable and friendly. Had a fantastic boulevardier to drink. We ordered lamb, chips and a walnut salad. Great combination, chips had a great texture and flavour, crunch whilst fluffy on the inside. The lamb which rich in taste and perfectly cooked. What didn't work out? We didn't have time for dessert!! No cheesecake for us. Well you know what that means, I will just have to go back one day! And i'm looking forward to it!

A very warm and romantic dining environment and friendly staff. Booked a reservation on Monday night and it was still packed!!! However their most popular steak ran out🥲 but it’s okay cause the other ones are still yummy!!!

Reservations were not possible, which is actually very normal in a big city. When we entered, I gave my mobile number... and the waiter said, max 20 minutes and we will send you a message... 9 minutes later we could sit at the table. Handy system! The steaks were very tasty, and so were the crispy fries!! The waiter helped us a lot with translating/understanding the menu. The only downside was the noise in the shop...it wasn't really a romantic dinner...but otherwise highly recommended

Brilliant, sharing plates is awesome, as we're all the sides, great staff too.

My husband and I were very impressed with Blacklock! We found the restaurant by Googling “ Best steak in London”. The host, Phil, was able to work us in without a reservation after 20 or so minutes. He was super welcoming and we loved his sense of humor. For an appetizer we ordered the bread & gravy and “pigs head on toast” which sounded interesting but came highly recommended by our server. (It was pretty great). For entrées, we ordered the Burger and bone in sirloin with a side of chips & meat drippings. Our server, Lucy, was phenomenal! She was on point with all the food recommendations, had an infectious laugh and was instrumental in making my birthday special! We would recommend coming to the SoHo location whenever you are in London!

Amazing foods and great selection of wines

Amazing food We had the sharing platter. Which was amazing. Beef dripping fries are to die for. Highly recommended.

As veterans of the Shoreditch and City branches, we were keen to see whether Blacklock could maintain the standard in a third branch. It was fully booked on a Sunday lunch and walk-ins were being turned away. Service was friendly and pleasant throughout and the rump Sunday lunch was really nice, with great vegetables and plentiful tasty gravy, succulent Yorkshire pudding and generous beef. It would be a travesty to not have the white chocolate cheesecake for dessert which was as delicious as at the other branches. It’s impressive that Blacklock continue to maintain this standard in every branch!

London isn’t about just fish & chips! Blacklock is a must have to go. We loved the broccoli salad with the amazing steak, and the dessert is speechless. Cheers from Brasil!

omg yum yum! delicious food and great vibes!

I normally don't leave reviews but the service was awful. We got seated in the middle of the restaurant and got our drinks ordered as my friends have gone to the bathroom. After that, it took 15-20mins to be noticed that we haven't ordered yet. It was busy but not extremely busy to the point of needing to rush around. The waiters were focusing on the other customers and ignoring us. Some people who arrived after us got served first etc. Food was good, the meat was cooked perfectly other then the beef that was a bit over done but overall I give it a 4/5. Near the end, we asked for the bill in which the waitress said they will get the bill for us. 15mins later, still no bill. My friend was trying to get someone's attention and was ignored. We finally got our bill after 10mins and the waiter was just silent during the process. Not asking us if we want our receipt and just stormed away after we paid, lmao Overall the food was good but disappointed on the service. Macdonalds has better service then this 😭

What a great Sunday roast dinner with all the trimmings and a massive Yorkshire pudding!

Service was great, the restaurant is small but very busy. The food was less than average for what I was expecting, we both had the pigs on toast which was great. Then we shared the chops. The starter thing they give you on crackers is horrid. Husband had a hot bottle of lemonade with loads of ice. There was plenty of meat but honestly I've had better. The belly draft wasn't cooked well, we expect a crutch and the pork chop fat wasn't done. It was on par with a Witherspoon if I am honest. Portion of chips was poor. The gravy was lovely and I paid nearly a fiver for a bone with less than half a teaspoon of tasteless marrow. Wasn't worth the money if I am honest.

I'm glad I booked a table in advance, but even then, nothing was available for lunch or dinner, leaving us with an awkward in-between time. Even at that time, there was a queue of hopefuls outside hoping for walk-ins. It was no surprise to find downstairs bustling with a great atmosphere. While we were busy deciding what to eat, we forgot to look at the drinks so when our waitress came by I quickly chose the cherry cocktail which i didn't like due to the smoky mezcal. All of the cocktails we ordered were actually quite weak, but it didn't matter too much since our first order of skinny chops arrived. We were surprised to find the different meats piled on top of each other, which put our taste buds to test! We collectively preferred the t-bone, followed by the belly, cutlet, rib, and loin. The green sauce our waitress gave us was absolutely delicious, and the kale parmesan was surprisingly really good. For mains, my son and I had the prime rib, OH ordered the bone-in sirloin and LO had the sirloin. We added Blacklock gravy and our waitress recommended the chop sauce and garlic marrow, which she generously provided on the house. Her suggestions were absolutely blinding, and the beer chips were just beautiful. Blacklock is definitely the place for some meaty indulgence (skinny chops not so much) but the steaks were definitely amongst the best we've had.

Locale situato dal quale si accede da una porticina per poi scendere nel seminterrato. Non essendo riusciti a prenotare online ci siamo presentati poco dopo le 19, e lasciando nome e numero di telefono ci hanno messo in lista per poi farci accomodare nel giro di una mezzoretta. In quattro abbiamo preso due menù ALL INCLUSIVE, una porzione di Denver, due contorni (una patata normale e una patata dolce), una cheesecake al cioccolato bianco (FANTASTICA, servita direttamente dalla pirofila) e 6 birre: totale 118,68 sterline. Carne ottima.

Great atmosphere, the attention to detail from the waiting staff was exemplary. All the staff worked so well together as a team and were super friendly. The mushroom starter was gorgeous . Really enjoyed the steaks and sides definitely worth a visit .

Love the food tasty flavoured perfectly. Too busy needed to book in advance. Staff are very friendly. Prices are okish

Fun friendly red meat-centric restaurant.

A little bit noisy and cramped But unbelievable food and excellent service. It is so worth it. The chips are life changing.

I was in mood for a simple steak and Chips. But my sirloin ended up been woefully undersized. It’s was about 8cm long and flat and probably weighed 130g max. The staff insisted the steak were approximately 200g. The chips and sauce seemed good but I was going to the black lock for the steak - and the total bill would have been £35 for steak, chips & gravy, I don’t mind paying this if the steak is reasonable size but this was pathetic to serve up such a tiny steak (130 grams max)to a fair paying customer. Avoid !!

Very good meat. Perfect service!

Arrived at 6 pm on a Saturday night, and the wait was about an hour—right on target as the hostess estimated. Unfortunately, our server was not very helpful with menu recommendations or advising on portion sizes for sharing, and she was largely absent after taking our order until the end of the meal. Thankfully, other waitstaff were attentive and stepped in when needed. Steaks, sides, and cocktails were all solid, and the wine on tap offered good value.

Solid Sunday roast. A little loud, a little slow, but they were very busy. Would brunch again .

Staff not great at appreciating my food allergies - it took a lot of explaining and adjustments to the food brought out. Starters - mini bites were not to my taste. Chops lovely but not overly hot and quite salty. Water glasses constantly filled. Not bad but not sure I would go back.

Amazing food, spot on hospitality, the best dessert (cheesecake) I’ve ever had.

Love this restaurant, it never disappoints. Can recommend the All In option and you can't leave without having their famous white chocolate cheesecake. Really friend staff, great food and great value as well for what you get!

Excellent place, very friendly staff, good food

Got the porterhouse 750g, it was really good, especially for those who enjoy leaner cuts. The cheesecake is amazing!

One of the best restaurants i have visit in London, if you want to taste a real steak , you have to reach this restaurant, the steak was amazing and the sides also, the staff is soo friendly , They will serve you as if you were in their home. The place was full, better to book a table before you plan to go .

Amazing food, my son took me for my birthday. Staff were all lovely and the gravy is to die for !

We initially had a bad experience here with the 'all in' platter but we gave it a second chance and are so glad we did!! This time we went on a Monday night for their butchers cuts and had the most incredible porterhouse steak ever. It was so juicy, literally melting in the mouth. Also their chop house sauce was absolutely delicious, highly recommend you order it! Their beef dripping chips were also very good, and the service was excellent, as it had been the first time too. Just go for their cuts of steak rather than the all in platter!

Best service I have had to date at a spot in London! Food was great as well. 10 out of 10 would go back

Lydia was the most perfect waitress so informative and friendly ❤️❤️❤️ food was PERFECT 🤩

I'll start off by saying - the food was AMAZING. Me and my partner got the All In, the bites and main food came so quickly (the bites even came before drinks that we ordered at the same time!) , it was so gorgeous and cooked perfectly, the chips are to die for!!! However, the trouble began when we finished the main course. It probably took around 10 minutes for our dishes to be cleared away. Okay fine, it's a Saturday, around 4pm, it happens. We eventually have it cleared away, and wait another 5 or so minutes to be asked if we want a dessert menu, yes okay we'd like to see. Waited another 5-10 minutes to be asked what we wanted, ordered the apple crumble (so good btw!!), and it takes maybe another 15 minutes for it to come out. We finish, and we have it taken away maybe 10 minutes after finishing, wasn't asked if we wanted the bill. We waited 30 MINUTES for the bill!! Couldn't get anyones attention, no one came over, but they were quick to take orders from people who just sat down!! Eventually we grab someone whose cleaning the table next to us (from a man clearly also frustrated at the waiting times and the fact it took 10 minutes and 2 waiters to get a dessert menu... he took the service charge off), we ask for the service charge taken off. They ask why, and we say as we've been waiting so long after finishing the main meal. We get the bill, it's wrong!! It was £138 when we maximum spent £70, no wonder we wanted to take the service charge off!!!!! They sorted the bill out and kindly took off the drinks and dessert so we only paid for the main, but it honestly left a sour taste in our mouths considering the price of the place and how highly rated the it is, it could be a really good experience with better staff. Also, way too cold in there!

A simply brilliant T bone steak for two. Cooked to perfection, sides were delectable. Moody staff but maybe because we took a late slot. Reserve in advance or put your name down and explore soho in the meantime!

Absolutely loved our meal at the Soho restaurant last Saturday. Food was amazing, cocktails were stunning and the service was first class. We will definitely be going back when we visit London again. Any chance you could open one in Norwich?

Nabbed a last minute day of reso. We got the Sunday roadty all-in meal but for one to share since we don't have big appetites. They were so kind to accommodate our request. All the meat was incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. Loved the beef, pork and lamb in that order.

Chop heaven! Mouth watering food! We had the "All In" to share, a treat for the taste buds! Service was above and beyond, making my boyfriend feel as special as he is on his birthday! Highly recommended coming here if you want great service and delicious food!

Faultless experience. Wonderful fillet, surprisingly generous considering it's only £22. You're there for the meat, but it's really worth mentioning how great the attention to detail is with sauces and sides. Probably the best bearnaise sauce I've had in a steak restaurant, creamy and packed with tarragon. The Broccoli side dish was inspired, with fresh dill running through it. Asian slaw is also a winner - sweet, sharp, and cleansing with caraway seeds. Even my peach non-alcoholic cocktail was gorgeous. And finally, I was talked into trying the cheesecake (when I don't even like cheesecake) and I must add that it was delicious. Not too sweet, the biscuit crumb is broken up into lovely little rocks, and a beautiful jam on the side. Joanna and the team are super friendly as well, and couldn't do enough. Honestly, for meat lovers, why would you go anywhere else?

Meat, great quality meat, perfectly cooked and simple presentation! Service was good, a lovely waiter recommended dishes and they chose well. No fuss, and no messing around. Just good quality food and good service. Well priced, not cheap but still offers good value when you consider quality, service and location.

Located in Soho, a truly beautiful and pleasant place! Excellent food, excellent service, prices in line with the quality of the food, the staff were super nice and helpful! I'll be back... for the Sunday roast on Sunday you have to book! I didn't do it🥲

managed to get a last minute walk in for the Sunday roast. service was really fast once we sat down and the servers were very friendly, even making a few jokes with us at the table. the food was absolutely incredible! the portion size was huge and everything was cooked perfectly

Very affordable place with good vibes and delicious food! Loved here so much. A piece of cheese cake was amazing too

The staff are really friendly! - sunday roast(all): The pork and beef were good! There were a lot of vegetables, especially the cabbage, which was delicious :) However, the lamb tasted fishy and was tough. I was very disappointed because I like lamb. I think the Yorkshire pudding was made well too. I liked that the gravy was not salty and did a good job of enriching the taste.

An absolute must for Sunday lunch

Was recommended to go here by a well travelled friend. Whole experience ce was great, place, people and food. Would 100% return. I also thought the meal offered great value too. Well done team Blacklock 👏

Absolutely incredible experience and meal. One of the best we have ever had! Took my dad as a treat and couldn’t have asked for more. I asked the staff to do a little something special for my dad and they went above and beyond. Can’t thankyou or recommend you enough. 5⭐️🦖

Amazing burger and chops. The waitress was amazing and the beer was fantastic.

We had 750g porterhouse steak, medium level which was perfectly cooked. Meat was tender and juicy. Chips were also good, crisp and not too oily. Service was fast and attentive, our steak took 45 minutes to be ready. Atmosphere was lively. Love the place.

This is one of the best meals I have ever had in my life! Great service too.

Nice experience for Sunday loast. Need to book a seat if you don't want to wait during a peak time.

Wonderful pub in terms of environment but above all in terms of quality of food! The meat is amazing and the staff always available to provide advice. Excellent beer and desserts

The roast was absolutely amazing however one waiter in particular really ruined the whole experience with his attitude, baring in mind this man was not our server just a very rude little man who needs a lesson or two in customer service.

Great experience for my first day in London and I just casually walked in. The food was great and nice location. Great for meat lovers.

Need to book 3 months in advanced

We had 750gr portherhouse here before and we liked it very much. This time we preferred 750gr rib. Their fries and cheesecakes are great. The meat is delicious but the service time is a bit long and the meat is not hot for some reason. It gets so cold towards the end.

Had a great time, was taken care of wonderfully by Tom, Megan, and Jo! The steak was tender and juicy, and the chips and béarnaise sauce were delicious as well. The wine was not bad, but I’d order a more full-bodies red next time. My only gripe is that it was very warm in the restaurant, bordering on stuffy. Otherwise had a lovely experience here :)

Amazing food, very welcoming and cosy atmosphere. Our evening was made by the exceptional service by Fred, who was kind and friendly with advice (and a very generous portion of cheesecake!). Would recommend to anyone.

The meat wasnt great but the cheesecake was very delicious and rly woth the price. service also very friendly

Amazing place. Staff super friendly, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the chop sauce, pigs head on toast (not as bad as it sounds) and the cheesecake. Wines amazing, and atmosphere nice. Highly recommend, especially in Winter as it’ll be nice and cosy. Not cheap though!

Team meetings at BL is always good. Ordered off the chalkboard - 850 porterhouse- 850 prime rib - 650 something else. Full house on a Thursday lunch time is always a good sign that this place is doing well. Took 20 mins to cook and the meat was well rested. The chef knew what he was doing. Medium rare. Recommend as always. Great service.
