   Epic Sunday roast at Blacklock City! After a brilliant steak dinner at Covent Garden, we tried the City branch and went for the All In roast (beef rump, lamb leg, pork loin). Outstanding – meats tender and full of flavour from the coals, crispy duck fat roasties, huge Yorkshires, plenty of veg, and endless Blacklock gravy. Almost as good as mum’s! Left stuffed and happy. Service friendly and relaxed. Next time, torn between the roasts or sirloin special. Top-notch Sunday lunch – highly recommend!

   I would give the service 100 stars if I can. It’s the first time for both me and my friend at Blacklock. We ordered mushroom on toast, prime ribs, garlic bone marrow, and cheesecake. The steak here tastes good, and I also wanted to try the bone marrow for so long. The cheesecake is also good, with good cream and biscuits. We were given to-start and cheesecake for free. Piotr Z. who served us really gave us a good time here, who also explained the menu carefully and helped us on water frequently. It’s also a reasonable price, both the food and service really deserve the price! We would definitely go back!

   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.

   I have never felt compelled to leave a bad review, but I was left thoroughly disappointed tonight. We live outside of the UK, but have made it a tradition to have Sunday roast dinner at Blacklock during our frequent visits to London. We have only ever dined at the Soho location, but we opted for City this time because our hotel was nearby and we wanted to have Sunday roast dinner for our last meal before an early morning flight. Our last dinner in London has always been at Blacklock, and is an event that we always look forward to. We arrived for our 18:15 booking a few minutes early and were seated promptly. We ordered quickly because we had plans after dinner. Unfortunately, our experience went downhill from there. We waited about 50 minutes for our food to be delivered lukewarm. In the interest of time, we did not ask for our food to be reheated because we were worried it might take long. Our waiter was nice enough, but we were shocked to still see the service charge on our bill even after he had acknowledged the long wait. Very upset to have such a disenchanting end to a long-standing tradition at an institution previously associated with happy memories.

   Great service, great food, great pudding. We unexpectedly showed up with a group of 7 and they were able to accommodate us for dinner. The steaks were perfectly done. The best side was the bread and gravy.

   This was our first time visiting Blacklock and we had an amazing experience. Restaurant was busy even on a Tuesday evening but we were seated in a more private part of the restaurant. Food was PHENOMENAL! Literally the best steak I've tasted in a long time. I will suggest the ALL IN ONE dish which was super delicious and great value for your money. We ordered the white chocolate cheesecake and to our surprise it was presented in the dish it was baked in with a candle to wish my husband a happy birthday. The cheesecake was so delicious and we got way more than we paid for it. Altogether, an amazing night out, great food, welcoming staff and great atmosphere. We will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

   Loved it despite not being a steak person. Shared 2 lamb chops, a 650g porterhouse big chop, carrots and baby gem. Meat was tender, juicy and cooked just right (medium). Veggies fresh and sweet and delicious. In hindsight the All in special is better value for money despite us benefiting from Butchers Monday prices on the big chip.

   From the moment we walked in we fell in love. The place has charm and character. The music was lovely. Our server was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. The mushrooms on toast were surprisingly flavoursome. The steaks and accompanying sauces were superb and accurately made. The salads were fresh and delicious. The cheesecake was absolutely amazing and the way it is served was a wonderful surprise. This must be the only place in the entire UK serving toothpicks at the end of the meal. Was a perfect final touch. Well done! You may have guessed by now, but we could not recommend this place enough. An absolute must. We will be coming back!
