One of the most fun restaurants I’ve been to in London! My friend and I thought that we had overordered but managed to eat everything. Highly recommend the garlic noodles and the garlic butter steak - but all of the food was unbelievable!! I’ll definitely be back for their happy hour and/or all you can eat options.

The food was outstanding; Pig's head on toast was banging with flavour. Ribeye and Rump cap with Black lock gravy is pure gold! Topping the food was the service, so I am picking Blacklock City over the other outlets for my next steak out. Andrea was great and made the dining experience very enjoyable. She is the best restaurant hostess in London, and Blacklock is lucky to have her. Also, a shout-out to Oliver as well; he was great! Blacklock City, you ROCK!!
