Blacklock City

My family came here for the incredible “All-In Sunday Roast” experience. I was the oddball being lactose intolerant vegetarian going to a steak house style restaurant. The experience at the Blacklock City location was wonderful. The staff was very attentive, sweet, and accommodating. They did not need to, but they curated custom dairy-free veggie dish for me. It was packed with herbs and flavor. Absolutely delicious. My family enjoyed the all-in roast and would have it again. The portions are generous and for London standards, I found the prices to be reasonable. Highly recommend this place even if you’re more on the vegan side, they will accommodate.

Sunday roast with family at Blacklock city. It was superb! The roast aged rump was cooked perfectly to medium rare. The gravy was delicious and all the sides were tasty. Also had the All In which is for two people or more with lamb & pork & beef which was great too. Location is right beside the Sky Garden and Mansion House station. Service was attentive and quick. Highly recommend!

Pros • Helpful, patient, and attentive service despite how busy the restaurant was • Staff accommodated an off-menu request (mushroom sauce) • Steak cooked perfectly medium rare • Extremely tender, soft, and flavourful steak • Good value for money considering the quality • Strong option for an above-average steak • Overall food quality was high Cons • Very busy and noisy atmosphere • Strong office-worker/work-lunch vibe • Seating felt cramped and crowded due to nearby large groups • Not a relaxed dining environment • Winter coleslaw was too acidic (personal taste) I tried coming here once before for a steak but it was fully booked, and every time I checked the website the slots I wanted were already taken. I eventually managed to book a table for myself and finally got in. At first glance, the atmosphere was very busy. It was mostly filled with local office workers chatting about work, or at least pretending not to 😂. The whole place definitely has a work-lunch/dinner vibe. Once seated, that feeling didn’t really change. My table was tucked into a corner next to a medium-sized group and a large group, so it felt a bit cramped and noisy. I spent a while deciding which steak to order, it was between the ribeye and another cut I hadn’t tried before. The waiter helped me out when I mentioned I wanted the most tender option, and he recommended the ribeye, so I went with that. I also asked if they could do a mushroom sauce even though it wasn’t on the menu, and he explained they could make one using a mushroom starter they already had. That alone, plus how patient and helpful he was despite how busy it was, really stood out. When the food arrived, I was excited but slightly nervous. I’ve eaten at a lot of steak places, and for the price, nothing has really beaten Flat Iron for me. I always order medium rare, and I can honestly say this steak was cooked perfectly: genuinely medium rare, very tender, and incredibly soft. It was actually softer than most of the Flat Iron steaks I’ve had recently. The steak itself tasted amazing, and the mushroom sauce made it even better. I ordered two sides: winter coleslaw and a grilled/baked sweet potato. The sweet potato was fantastic, easily my favourite side. The coleslaw, however, wasn’t really for me, it was quite acidic compared to what I’m used to. I finished my meal in about 10-15 minutes, and that was me trying not to rush. I could’ve easily demolished the steak in five minutes if I wanted to. The coleslaw took some effort to get through, but everything else went down very easily. Price-wise, it felt very reasonable for the quality. It’s definitely more expensive than Flat Iron, but the tenderness and flavour of the steak justify it. I’d absolutely recommend this place if you’re after a solid, above-average steak. Overall, it’s a busy and noisy spot, very much filled with office workers (small side note: I genuinely felt like the only non-white person there, not an issue at all, I just found it funny 😂). The service was great and patient, the steak was excellent, the mushroom sauce was a great touch, the sweet potato was amazing, and the coleslaw could be better in my opinion.

We went to the Blacklock for a Sunday roast and we weren’t disappointed It was four of us, we started with beef ribs which were first unnecessary given the size of the roast, they were quite tasty it was just a shame when we got them quite cold The roast itself was certainly the winner, the all-in option is quite generous and when it’s served it does look like a mountain of food. The portions are certainly generous and very tasty - we left all the plates clean. Personally I thought the beef portion was really good and the lamb and port were okay. Next time I’m going all beef. The price was also quite reasonable If you’re looking for a roast, I think the Blacklock is worth the visit

- ‘all in’ sunday roast £28pp - white chocolate cheesecake £7.75 the ‘all in’ sunday roast may be pricey but it is SO worth it and a must try at least once. the meats were all cooked beautifully and so were the sides and the crackling was a nice addition. i always feel like places don’t give out enough gravy so the fact they do free refills here is heaven! even if you are full, try and squeeze in the white chocolate cheesecake bc it is divine especially paired with the berries. i’d say the atmosphere is very noisy and packed but it makes sense considering how many ppl want to visit! 🤭

This steakhouse serves a good variety of Sunday roast, the all in Sunday roast is an excellent choice for sharing. The portions are generous and everything was really tasty. The apple and rhubarb crumble was so delicious. The service is really efficient and they were all very friendly as well. It's a busy restaurant so is definitely recommended to book a table in advance. Highly recommended.

Made a reservation for two at Blacklock City and arrived 10 mins early (14:50) but were seated by our reservation time which was great. We ordered the "All In" which was pretty good I must say with the roast being succulent accompanied by a rich flavourful gravy. Service was good and waiter was charismatic and attentive visiting our table frequently. Last minute we decided to order the white chocolate cheesecake to share which seemed to be all the rave judging from the tables around us. We had received the dish it was baked in which was a pleasant rustic surprise and although it did taste heavenly, we wish the portion size was equally as big as the portions being dished out for the other tables. What we had received was a leftover corner portion in the dish. We did notice portion sizes differed per table and person depending on the waiters serving it. This was the only disappointing part of the evening. I think the small portion size could have been compensated by not charging us the same amount as a standard portion. Other than that, we hope to return soon and try other items on the menu.

Great chophouse/steakhouse. The sides are almost as much of a highlight as the meat is! We had the "all in" which was a good amount of meat for two. The chops were well cooked with a tasty amount of fat and the beef chop was still pink. They also came with bread underneath that was seasoned with garlic and rosemary and with all the meat juices which was amazing. The gravy was also some the best beef gravy I have ever tasted out of a home kitchen. The brocolli and walnut salad was also fantastic. The service was generally really good with our server(s) being attentive and filling our water, taking things we had finished with etc. they were also polite and seemed happy. Unfortunately we did order a non-alcoholic cocktail which took a while to come and we had already been served our starter and then main course and we had to ask/remind the waiter. The atmosphere was good. However our table was a little close to the bar and where people were walking past constantly. Admittedly, it must not be easy as one table has to be nearest but if they had spaced them out it wouldn't be as bad. Overall we are likely to return as the food is so good! Hopefully the two minor things mentioned will go smoother next time and we have a better table :)

Sunday roast is amazing! Definitely make reservations. We got the lamb, beef, pork combo, so delicious! The cheesecake is the best I've had in years, served family style out of a large dish.

This may be the best service I have had in all my recent travels. We had the Sunday roast and it was spectacular. We did the "all in" and it did not disappoint. I would certainly give this location and team an opportunity.

Heaven for meat lovers. Great chops and steaks, trendy arty starter canapé style bites and super desserts! Buzzy atmosphere with the City returning to work and long lunches. Great service around £40 pp inc all.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We had a great meal of prime rib and Brussels sprouts. We tried the pigs head on toast on their recommendation and it was delicious! Meat lovers dream come true. And the waitstaff was super helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed the experience.

The food was excellent, the service was incredibly attentive, and one of the waiters was so patient he took 15 minutes helping my mother find things on her map, really above and beyond.
