Blacklock Soho London Reviews
This was our first Sunday roast experience and it could not
This was our first Sunday roast experience and it could not have been a better one. The food came out quick and it was amazing. The Yorkshire pudding was excellent, especially in the gravy, along with the meat and vegetables. It's a nice place, dim lighting and a traditional pub atmosphere filled with diners, even at 7/8. Our server was attentive and quick with refills. Loved it here.
Don’t go if you’re black
Racist establishment. The guy with the tattoo of glasses seemed disinterested in seating a couple of black Americans. Then he guided us towards Hawkmoors and proceeded to lie about them being their “sister company,” which the people at Hawkmoors denied. Little did he know…we were in town with the USA men’s basketball team and would have brought them more lucrative business. Oh well…that said, highly recommend Hawkmoors in Borough Market…great food and service!
Fabulous lunch
A fabulous meal served by fabulous people. James looked after us from start to finish and couldn't have been more helpful. He explained the different cuts of meat and the range of sauces on offer which helped us make up our mind on what to choose. for starters we had the lamb cutlets and side of of bread and Blacklock gravy and they bought up a sample of the chop sauce to go with cutlets. For mains, 1 chose fillet and 1 chose ribeye and both were cooked perfectly. We had side dishes of Roy's salad leaves, bone marrow sauce, more Blacklock gravy, bearnaise sauce and the best triple cooked chips ever! A bottle of rose to wash it all down and just when we thought we couldn't fit anymore in, we plumped for the cheesecake to share and a couple of expresso martinis. We thoroughly recommend a visit.
Amazing roast. Weird use of sour cream.
Really great mixed meat Sunday roast, very good quality and staff were great. All tested amazing, apart from the horseradish sauce which was really just sour cream and was absolutely revolting. I had unfortunately spread it all over my beef before I noticed. Luckily others in my party didn’t have the same revulsion to sour cream as me and ate my beef. Even though they said it did taste weird. I think they also use this in the cheese cake which I also couldn’t eat.
Went for Dinner Food - 4/5.
The pre-chop bites were an absolute delight providing different flavors and textures. The potted meats & kimchi were my favorite as the strong meat flavor paired well with the equally strong funk of the kimchi. From the all in, the lamb chops were fantastic. It was a perfect medium rare, tender, had no gamey flavor and the fat was rendered well. The thickness was just right to give you a satisfying bite. Pork was similar to the lamb in having all the excellent qualities, although falling a bit short in comparison. Fries were very rich with beef flavor and while it was delicious at first, the flavor quickly overwhelmed the palate. Luckily the slaw helped act as a palate cleanser with its refreshing crunch and sour flavor. Gravy had a lot of depth and the rich flavor elevated the meat. The beef, which I imagined would be the star of the show, was disappointing. It was a smaller piece than the other meats but seemed to have been cooked the same amount, resulting in a medium well that was tough. It must have had very little marbling as the beef flavor was entirely lacking. Even with the gravy, it was a chore to eat due to how flavorless and tough it was. The flatbread was very hard and dense, barely soaking up any of the meat juices. Service - 4/5. Friendly and courteous. Value - 4/5. Their portion sizes are very generous, with the all in being served with a heaping pile of meat, sides, and pre-chop bites for £27 per person. The sauce was extra, at a reasonable £3 for the gravy. Most items were excellent, except for the beef. The website really sold the idea of quality Cornish beef that made me decide on Blacklock so despite everything else being amazing, I could not get over the fact that the beef was lackluster. The timing didn't work out for us, but it seems like visiting on Monday for butcher price big chops or Sunday for the roast are better options. I would recommend the all in if you want to taste a bit of everything, but a steak or big chop if you're here for the beef. Parking - N/A
Great value, amazing staff!
Absolutely delicious and generous portions; we visited for our anniversary and will definitely be going again! The ‘all in’ sharer is great value and gives a good taster of the majority of the menu… a well earned five stars!
Sunday roast was incredible.
Huge pile of beautifully cooked meats, too impossibly large to imagine. Drinks were decent, atmosphere was just a tinge past raucous so don't anticipate that this is a place for quiet conversation. Enjoy the noise but most of all, enjoy the food. It's worth a visit.
5 stars!!
5 Stars! Aga was amazing, so friendly, helpful explaining the menu, the drink recommendations were fire! The food was so tasty and good value, it is a lovely restaurant with a warm atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon, thank you
Fantastic... 100% recommend!!!!
Great service, lovely atmosphere and beautiful food!!!! Although busy, we were messaged to say when our table was ready. Thank you for a lovely evening!!!!
Sunday Roast - not worth the hype.
Oh, I was so disappointed with my visit to Blacklock Soho. Having previously visited Blacklock Canary Wharf on several occasions on a Saturday evening (and loving it!), I was looking forward to visiting Blacklock Soho for a Sunday Roast. The service was extremely slow, despite us telling the service staff that we only had an hour and a half. We waited 15 minutes for our order to be taken. Our cocktails were lovely when they arrived. The roast was OK. Nothing special at all. Not worth the hype it has received. There isn’t actually that much food. A slice of each meat each, a Yorkshire, a few potato’s each, some veg - again not loads. It all tasted nice. But there was nothing special about it, and I wasn’t full after. We waited 5 minutes for the free flowing gravy, by which time my meat had gone cold, and even longer for our cauliflower cheese. While the price isn’t extortionate for a roast - I do think you’d be better off just going to Toby Carvery or just visiting Blacklock on any other day than a Sunday!
My family and I just had an excellent dinner for Father's
My family and I just had an excellent dinner for Father's Day at Blacklock in Covent Garden! Not only was the food delicious but the service was incredible! Tristan steered us in the right direction with what to order and places to go while visiting London and Marleigh topped it off with her excellent knowledge of desserts!!! I highly recommend dinning here and having either one as your server!!!
Delicious food at a fair price
Went to blacklock for a business dinner as a group of four. The setting is industrial and the service is unfussy. The staff were the right level of attentive but not over bearing. The food and drink were all delicious and at a fair price. We had to the sharer platter which had a range of chops, all of which were cooked perfectly. Highly recommend if you like steak and meat dishes.
Sunday Roast
Overall enjoyed the visit but was expecting more from previous reviews and hype. Beef was very good pink and tender,, Pork seemed like it was steamed instead of roasted fat not rendered at all and the Lamb was tasty enough but pretty tough. The giant Yorkshire puddings were very ordinary, nice roast potatoes and veg. Service charge of 12.5% added to bill no optionality which is a bit pushy imo. Total £87 for two which included a sharing roast small beer, glass of wine, one desert and the service charge.
Epic for meat lovers
Although it was a 45 minute wait for a table, it was certainly worth it. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the staff were super friendly. The food was epic! It’s a simple concept menu but it was all cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this as a place to eat.
Cracking Sunday lunch, well worth the booking wait time
Booked this trip in November, 6 months before the visit as it was the first date available for me to get there. Had a 12.30 booking and got the about 20 mins early which was not a problem for them, and we were shown to our table straight away. Immediately we had a bottle of water placed on the table and our glasses filled for us, with menus handed to us. Being a Sunday it was the Sunday menu. Off the drinks menu i chose a diet coke, and my wife had a lemonade Cooler ( non alcoholic). Ordered the All in lunch for two ( thats what we went for) and a portion of cauliflower cheese. After a very short wait the drinks came round, as did the food, a plate full of beef, pork, and lamb, two massive Yorkshires with roast potatoes and veg, crackling, a bowl of cauliflower cheese, and a gravy boat with mint sauce, horseradish, and apple sauce. The meats ~ the lamb, pink and so tender just melted in your mouth. The beef ~ again pink and moist with a lovely bit of fat on the edge. The pork~ cooked to perfection as well. The Yorkshire’s~ can honestly say in all the restaurants i have been in, have never had one that size before, must have been at least 5 inches tall, and with the roast potatoes inside them when you poured the gravy in there as well….sheer heaven to me. Veg was a medley of roasted parsnips,carrots, and cabbage which we enjoyed as well. All throughout the meal the waiter would come round and top your water glass up for you, a nice touch. Didn’t have room after all that for a desert but they did look good from what we saw. The bill came to £74.47 service charge included, which for all we had, the location in central London, i didnt think was too bad considering other places i have been too and been charged around the same amount. Now the only downside i would have, and it isnt the food or the service, it would be it got very noisy and you found yourself having to try to talk above what you normally would, but dont let that take anything away from the whole experience. Also you have to go down stairs to get there, so could he accessible problems to people who are u steady on their feet or in wheelchairs. Great place, great food, great service, owould definately go again if in London
If I had one last meal before dying...
So after booking two months in advance for their Sunday Roast, I've found myself a part of a Blacklock cult. After another must do rebooking for dinner, the best 55-day dry aged Ribeye was so red and fatty it deserves the #1 best steak I’ve ever had in my entire travels, ever (33 countries and counting so there is some legitimacy to that statement). This place is BONKERS amazing. We are going a 3rd time before leaving. Put this place on your list. Blacklock Soho, Kam provided the BEST service and we were beyond happy to get to chat with him and learn more about Blacklock - you have an AMAZING person working for you you sings your praises. I can't stop thinking about how that was the best steak I've ever had. Why aren't more people talking about the sixth ribeye on social media? The Brits have it figured out - they just get it. From Sunday roast to this? Screw Hawksmoor for 3x the price and negative 3x the quality. EAT HERE. Go on Sunday's for their Sunday Roast, go again for dinner for their sixth ribeye. Just book it and go. Damn.
Delicious meat, great service
Delicious food, and great service. Very reasonable prices for the quality of food. Staff were very generous, and brought us digestifs and extra cheesecake on the house. Thanks for a great experience!
Urban basement environment with low lighting and wood
Urban basement environment with low lighting and wood chairs. A few soft booths tucked in the corner are the best seats in the house. Open kitchen fun to look at. Satisfying pile of Sunday meats including pork, lamb and beef. The Yorkshire puddings were perfectly crispy and soft with deeply satisfying gravy. Old Fashioned went down easily. I was so full after dinner I looked for an elevator to take me back upstairs. Unfortunately, I don't think they have one so if you need help up or down you may be out of luck.
The food was so delicious.
Their service is so professional. I love their ambiance. I have my breakfast with my wife and we enjoy their food.
Blacklock is GREAT.
I've tried a number of steak/chop houses since I've relocated to London (including the underwhelming Hawksmoor) and none of them have come to close to matching the high quality experience of Blacklock. On entry you will likely have a good first impression. The interior is warm, the vibe is lively but not overwhelmingly loud, and the smells are already extrodinary. My hopes were pretty high even though they've been dashed so many times before in this city. Fortunately all of the food delivered. We had some of the small plate starters (cheese + pickle & the meat + kimchi) and both packed a lot of flavour into single mouthfuls; the cheese n' pickle almost tasted to me like the essence of an enitre Italian American meal in one bite. For the main course we tried the sirloin, burger, one pork belly strip, the chips and all of it was complimented with the gravy - all of it was delicious. Technically it was all a bit one dimensionally BEEFY and the gravy pushed that ratio way over the top but that beef flavor was magnificent; the gravy is just pure unadulterated savoury meat sauce that goes with pretty much everything on the menu. Only the pork belly felt a bit uninspired in comparison but I did enjoy those bites too. Service was great and, overall, you can't beat it for the price. It probably doesn't compare to a great steakhouse in the US but value for the money is enough to offset any feelings entirely. A must visit!
Stopped by here on a recent food tour as I was pleasantly
Stopped by here on a recent food tour as I was pleasantly surprised. Inside is very inviting with lots of wood paneling and I could see myself eating a nice Sunday roast there on a rainy day However only got to sample the Pigs Head on toast with gravy- and let me tell you that it was absolutely delicious,nothing like I expected !! Win win Soft tender pull apart pork on toasted bread and delicious gravy that you pour all over and let it get soaked and then yum!!! It's not soggy at all which I was worried about All the rest of the food looked really good so would like to come back and try something else Reservations required as pretty popular
Thursday, February 1st, 2024 reservation for 3pm 12:00pm
Thursday, February 1st, 2024 reservation for 3pm 12:00pm $194.84 I found this venue from the States and while in Amsterdam 3 different Brits said it was a must do so I made a reservation for noon lunch upon arrival to London, England. The venue had a cool vibe, the service provided by Ida was top notch, there were brilliant Brazilians grilling all the meat choices from our entree the All In One (customized for 3 instead of 2) with 3 sides plus drinks handcrafted by a gifted man from Spain and the dessert from the war with a scoop of ice cream was spoon licking bowl scrapping good. We had a lovely experience and everything was flawless from start to finish. Bravo to the chef, staff and management as you exceed your reputation.
Came here for Sunday roast and it was lovely.
Told them i was leaving for home and they gave me cheesecake to go! Really great service :)
Was skeptical at first with it being a chain, but damn that
Was skeptical at first with it being a chain, but damn that meat was divine. Went on Butcher Special Monday. Got a rump of lamb, sweet potatoes and bread soaked in gravy. Quite surprised with the slew of Chinese tourists at 2pm on a Monday, but the restaurant was accommodating and very good at keeping everyone served. The lamb was perfectly cooked and the fat just the perfect level of crispy. Yes to doing this place again. Service and staff was great. Waited on by a woman from Argentina and she was soooooo great! I think was the owner's wife? Great folks.
This surprisingly good steakhouse is the closest I've come
This surprisingly good steakhouse is the closest I've come to the delicious slabs of meat I used to eat in America. What's even more surprising is that it's located smack-dab in the middle of Soho. If you're a local, you'll know Soho isn't necessarily the best place to find a good meal; especially one of this caliber. The ambiance also has a certain vibe; with its somewhat rustic interiors and underground setting, it has an almost secretive quality. Reservations are strongly recommended on a weekend if you're dining in before 6PM. After that, it's first-come, first-serve. My wait was supposed to be an hour and a half, but since it was just me, I only waited half an hour. Still, given how long it takes for those steaks to cook, it's best to plan ahead. The menu isn't the biggest, but since you'll likely be coming here for the meat, anyway, you won't be needing a whole lot of time to pick. They have 4 kinds of steaks, all of which will be cooked to your liking, and several different sides and sauces that are amazing in their own right. I was very happy with my ribeye steak with chimichurri sauce, which must have been homemade, as you won't find that quality coming out of a bottle. Even the sides leave nothing to be desired; my 10-hour ash roasted sweet potato is one of the best choices I've ever made. It's perfectly tender and doused with their own spice blend that makes it one of the most comforting pairings you'll try. The downside is that absolutely everything comes separately, so even the sauce will set you back a few pounds. They do have other dishes like burgers and salads, but even those are limited. From what I saw, they only had one or two veggie options. And really, the steaks are the reason you'd want to come here. Overall, you shouldn't be paying more than £50 per person, including drinks. Not bad for Soho, at all.

Service is only 2nd to the meal! Quality and quantity vs an authentic British "meat" meal. All aspects were exceptional!
Chop! chop! Hurry to the home of meat on the bone
My friends and I were impressed by our first visit to this Soho basement temple to chops and all things meaty. It was packed on the Sunday lunchtime we attended, (we could soon see why) but squeezing in only added to the vibe. We all chose the selection of chops with a variety of sides. We were slightly surprised (and delighted) to first be presented with canapés, some meaty, some eggy, some cheesy, all on über-crisp crackers and delicious. All the meats were flavoursome, juicy and tender. The lamb in particular had us swooning with its depth of flavour and unctuousness. Sides (chips, broccoli, charred baby gem lettuce, jacket sweet potato) were all good, although not all of them arrived promptly. (Service did seem ever-so-slightly overstretched but was unfailingly friendly and interested and it WAS a really busy service, so that was easily forgiven.) This place isn’t big on puds but we tried both those available. The apple and rhubarb crumble with a ball of vanilla ice cream was a delight. Restaurants so often come a cropper with crumbles - I’m not sure why when, once upon a time, everyone’s grandma could turn them out weekly without breaking a sweat - but this was spot-on; crunchy, squidgy, not too sweet, and what a great idea to combine the two classic fruits! White chocolate cheesecake was scooped out of a huge tin at the table so it was a bit of a splodge but had good white choc flavour and a properly crunchy base. A litre of house red (a pleasing, soft, fruity Sangiovese) was good value at £34. Talking of value, we were out of the place for £40 a head which, in pricey Soho, left a very good taste in the mouth.
Steaks cooked poorly
My wife and I visited for dinner after a local show and the staff were friendly and attentive and we both liked the feel of the place. We ordered T-bone steaks and some sides. I asked for medium rare and it came out more rare than I’d expect but it was ok. My wife ordered hers well done and when she cut into it, it was still very pink and was, in fact, exactly how I would have wanted mine cooked. We asked if they could cook it again and it came back and was still a bit pink, probably still a medium if anything. We then just ate what we had as the sides were getting cold but when the main thing you do is steaks and chops and you get the cooking so far off what is asked for, twice, that’s a pretty poor effort.
Really good, great value and service.
Came here for lunch at invitation of a business/friend. Busy Friday lunchtime. We had the "All in" - amazing value at £24 each including pre-chop bites (canape style starters which we delicious), Thin pork, lamb and beef chops on a bed of flat bread. perfectly done. Service was very friendly and persona and we had a great time. They even managed to find some Guinness for St Patrick day... Well done. Thank you guys. we'll be back.
Intimate ambiance, attentive service, and a delicious
Intimate ambiance, attentive service, and a delicious burger. What else could you need? Perfect stop for a bite or drink in the heart of Soho.
The best Sunday roast
Went there for Sunday Roast after having booked almost 2 months before, and it was worth it. The roast was delicious and I love the ambience of the restaurant. Can't wait to go back again for the roast.
Great food, service and atmosphere.
6 of us had a great evening. Food was excellent with good wow factor and wine on tap an excellent idea. It keeps the menu really simple and our server Bella was super attentive all evening and took all of the hard work out of the ordering process. Restaurant itself has a great buzzy atmosphere and I thought that the price was very good value for what we had. Will definitely return as this is now my second visit in a few months and the levels have been consistent,
The Best Burger Ever
So the Black lock in Soho quite literally has the best burger ever. The sweet potato is amazing too. However, the service was really rushed and it seemed like they wanted you out of there as soon as possible. We were there at 6 o’clock so it’s not as if we came close to closing time. I came here March 2022 and it seems a lot different it did feel like a nice romantic sit down meal then. I’m not sure what has changed service wise but I’m not a fan.
Great food and service
Great food and great service! Brought a friend to Blacklock Soho for his birthday and it couldn’t have been better! Due to trains he was late, but at no point we’re we rushed. Ava (apologies if I’ve spelt the name wrong) was an awesome server and gave the best service possible. From recommending cuts of meat, catering for allergies and even sorting out an little bit of a candle in the dessert it was great! She made what was generally going to be a couple of mates out for food and beer a really great day! So Blacklock Soho, if you are reading this, she totally deserves a raise / bonus. Anyhow, the food. The food is great. I’m not a big fan of peppercorn sauce, especially cream based, but is very good! The “all in” is a great concept, but you do need more food. Or maybe not… but it is great. All in all, good food and great service.
We made a reservation for my friends 50th birthday.
When we ordered we said we do not eat lamb. We said should we order one beef and one pork or can we do the Sunday All In with no lamb. He said yes that is not a problem. We finally get our food. They looked at it and said they didn't put any pork on the plate they put all beef. He said to keep it and that they will bring the pork on the side. I asked again is this lamb. He said no. The first bit that I took was lamb! I specifically asked several times. When we ordered then when the food was dropped off! This is very poor service. It ruined the meal! They didn't even recognize that we were celebrating a birthday. Why would we put that on the reservation if they didn't bother to do anything. I wish we would have celebrated her 50th somewhere else! What a disappointing meal!
So awesome.
Food was great but what made it so terrific was the unbelievable service, especially in London where that seems to never be a things.
One oven was down, so about 1/3 of the menu wasn't
One oven was down, so about 1/3 of the menu wasn't available. Disappointing.We ordered both pork and beef. Pork is much too fatty. More fat than pork. Beef rump was better in that regard. Don't order the pork. Both dishes were fine, but nothing special. Their gravy did make them better. I hear their gravy is what makes them "great". Well, it did elevate the meat from "I've had better" to "pretty good". Beef was a bit tough, but with gravy it was flavorful.Perhaps if that 1/3 of the menu had been available I would have a different opinion. But the meal we had was nothing special. No better than Outback or Black Angus or any other steak house. Maybe not as good.The portion was large, however. Service was adequate.
Standard steakhouse.
Everything is seasoned well. Personally, my fav was the porterhouse and the price is worth it. The meat is very tender and cooked well. A lot of other tables did all-in for each person and although it was good, not as good as the porterhouse imo. Splurge on the good stuff! Like the bone marrow garlic sauce as well!
I was glad to have listened to a friends recommendation and
I was glad to have listened to a friends recommendation and have Sunday roast here. The services was excellent and food sublime. Visiting Blacklock made my London holiday so much better. I recommend you make a reservation for this great restaurant.
This is another late review from my EU/UK visit in
This is another late review from my EU/UK visit in September. I'll keep it short and sweet - Blacklock was definitely one of the best meals we had on our trip, and it lives up to the hype. The price points are incredibly reasonable, the meats perfectly cooked, and the service here was absolutely phenomenal. They took note that we were celebrating our anniversary and made sure we started off with Prosecco. We went with the All In and got an assortment of canapés, a mountain of grilled mixed meats, and the sides of our choice. We went with the baby gems and beef dripping chips and they were both delicious. You know when you're full but the food tastes so good, you just want more? That was my boyfriend and I after the giant platter... so we ordered another steak to share. Even after that, my boyfriend insisted on trying the white chocolate cheesecake ("when are we going to be back? We might as well eat that too") and I have to say, he made the right choice. It was both airy and decadent and was the perfect end to a wonderful lunch. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a great value meat heavy meal.
Great Sunday Roast ! Amazing service and choices of meats.
We ordered the All-In of Beef, Lamb and Pork Roasts which comes with roasted carrots, broccoli and potatoes
On the 26th of December I made a booking via email to <a
On the 26th of December I made a booking via email to <a href="mailto:sohoreservations@theblacklock.com">sohoreservations@theblac…</a>, 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.
It was a great experience, I went with my girlfriend for a
It was a great experience, I went with my girlfriend for a social occasion and they started us off with a glass of prosecco. Our server gave us some suggestions from the menu. We decided to get the all in option, compromised with a mix of juicy meats. (lamb, beef, and pork) we would highly recommend getting this. You get to have a variety of their fine meats. It was our last day here and I wanted to have one of those big chops. Went with the smallest bone in sirloin (450g) and to finish it off I had thier white chocolate cheese cake. The cheese cake was very light and creamy, was not too sweet. I was afraid I would be able to finish it after eating so much meat, but after finishing the cheese cake I regret not asking for more. 10/10 would come again.They also had thier own coffee espresso and summer negroni and it was delicious!
