The restaurant is located in the basement, so you have to walk down. The entrance at street level isn’t very big. I went on New Year’s Eve and had made a booking in advance since this place gets quite busy. I ordered the ‘All In,’ which includes a mix of beef, pork, and lamb, along with a choice of side dishes. For me, the lamb and beef were pretty good some pieces were slightly dry and too chewy, but overall, the portion was very generous. Definitely worth it!

Value for money steak. Prawn cocktail is just ok 4/5 for me. Garlic bone marrow- i feel like it lacks the melt in your mouth” factor; cannot pinpoint whats missing in the flavor. But again, their steak is no doubt highly recommended. Do not forget to pair your steak with their signature Blacklock gravy. Better to book in advance to avoid long wait especially on a weekend.

I had a great experience overall at Blacklock Soho—the ambiance was warm, and the service was excellent. However, I tried the barbecue cauliflower, and it wasn’t quite to my taste. The flavors were overwhelmingly pungent, with an intense garlic presence, and it was far too salty. While I appreciate bold seasoning, this one missed the mark for me. That said, the restaurant itself was enjoyable, and I’d be happy to return to try other dishes.

Booked through their website, very easy to book, From the moment we stepped into the restaurant right until the very end staff were very friendly and uplifting. We ordered the porterhouse 800g, kale parmesan, beef dripping chips and garlic bone marrow was just purely amazing. Excellent quality, will definitely be back. I definitely recommend booking a table though as it gets full pretty quickly!

I had heard all about the famous Sunday roast from Blacklock and knew I needed to try it. I booked it four months in advance and when I went , I was not disappointed at all. I shared the two person roast with another person and at first I was weary about the portion sizes as often with roasts, you never really get enough of the trimmings but I would say at Blacklock, there was plenty given. Starting off with the meats, unfortunately the beef was quite disappointing, it was dry and had no flavour to it but the lamb and the pork was delicious. Although it’s a shame that the beef wasn’t good, it was probably the only downside of this overall good meal. The veg was probably the best veg I’ve ever had from a roast from a restaurant and the potatoes were perfect. Yorkshires were fantastic and so was the gravy, luckily if you want  extra gravy, it’s free of charge. You have to order the cauliflower cheese separately but that was nice too. I would say that everything was quite salty but since I like a lot of salt generally , I didn’t mind but if you’re someone who doesn’t like salt then it can be too much for you. The house red wine paired well with the roast and I would say the service was fantastic, all the servers were attentively looking after their tables. After the roast I tried the cheesecake, it was good but nothing special. Overall though , I really enjoyed my meal and experience and would definitely love to come back for their roast.
