Modern chophouse in London
The restaurant "Blacklock Shoreditch" in London is an outstanding example of a modern chophouse dedicated to the tradition of British meat enjoyment. It is part of the successful Blacklock chain, known for its straightforward yet high-quality cuisine. The restaurant is located in a former furniture factory in the heart of the vibrant East End, combining industrial charm with an inviting atmosphere. The interior features raw concrete, exposed brick walls, and a touch of retro style reminiscent of the 1960s – a place that feels both rustic and chic.
High quality grass-fed meat
The philosophy of Blacklock Shoreditch revolves around high-quality, grass-fed meat from Cornwall, sourced from the renowned butcher Phillip Warren. This meat is simply but masterfully prepared on a charcoal grill to highlight its natural flavor. Particularly popular are the “Skinny Chops” and “Big Chops,” which are offered in various cuts such as lamb chops or beef rib. A highlight is the “All In” experience, where guests are served a selection of appetizer bites and a variety of chops stacked high on grilled flatbreads – perfect for those who love to share. The “Blacklock Burger,” a double cheeseburger with caramelized onions, has also become a favorite.
Best cocktails in Shoreditch
In addition to the meat dishes, the restaurant shines with its Sunday roasts, considered an award-winning specialty that nearly rivals the homemade creations of mothers. The roast variations feature juicy cuts of meat roasted over open coals and English oak, accompanied by Yorkshire pudding, duck fat potatoes, and a generous amount of Blacklock sauce. For those seeking something lighter, there are also creative side dishes and even vegetarian options that highlight the best of British seasonal produce.
Award-winning Sunday roast specialty
The bar at Blacklock Shoreditch is another highlight. It is the largest in the chain so far and offers an impressive selection of cocktails developed in collaboration with the New York speakeasy bar Slowly Shirley. Particularly inviting are the affordable yet refined drinks like “Grandma’s Spiked Lemonade” or a classic Old Fashioned. Additionally, there are house-made Blacklock beers brewed in partnership with a brewery in Cornwall, as well as keg wine – a sustainable and innovative idea that still promises the highest quality.
Vibrant atmosphere in restaurant
Guests consistently praise the service as exceptional: friendly, attentive, and passionate about what is served. The staff ensures that visitors feel like royalty, whether during a relaxed lunch or a lively dinner. The atmosphere contributes to this feeling – it is lively without being overwhelming, striking a balance between relaxed casualness and special occasion. The restaurant also values small, thoughtful gestures, such as offering free samples of desserts like the white chocolate cheesecake when guests are too full for a full portion.
