Price: Moderate
• International • Canary Wharf
Booked 91 times today
Blacklock a modern version of the Great British chophouse. Nestled cosily in the corner of Canary Wharf, underneath the train tracks of the North Dock. Feel the comforting rumble of trains passing overhead conjuring memories of some of our favourite haunts underneath the bridges in NYC. We take the best meat in the country from the award-winning farmer and butcher Philip Warren in Cornwall. We cook chops simply over our real charcoal grill with a little help from vintage Blacklock irons and serve it all up alongside cocktails that give back and wine on tap in our atmospheric chop mecca. On Sundays we serve a Sunday Roast (almost as good as Mum's). Bookings and Walk-Ins available.

    I love this restaurant! However, it’s getting too loud for me to hear my dinner companion and vice versa. It was relieved to step into the quiet street outside. It’s a shame too because if it was slightly quieter, it would be the perfect place for a steak for someone in the 70s. Of course this just makes me sound like an old fogie.

    I really enjoyed my dining experience with Uncle Hons BBQ at all my friends. The food itself was excellent, I can’t say enough about the ribs and pork belly - utterly delicious 😋 The lamb was also tasty and the rice was amazing with the pork crunchy bits on. My only issue was the oxtail which was very fatty and felt didn’t have a nice taste - felt like it needed more cooking time but personal choice. I also thought the location was excellent next the river with the football stadium. My only issues were the booking system needs work and I think both uncle hons and all my friends should speak with one another more to make the is a more easier process. Very confusing when we arrived and not very well explained. I get they are both technically separate but you are in the same location taking bookings for one another so uncle hons should be able to help more if we book a table with them not just go upstairs and they will help - it’s nothing to do with us is the impression we got and I don’t think this is good customer service. I also felt unless you had the person explain everything re ordering and the menu then people felt confused and loss. It shouldn’t be so complicated to order Barbecue food with grams and weight. This also causes a bigger queue with everyone - perhaps an email in advance to booking customers to explain everything required would be more helpful. Again overall experience of the food was really good. The bar could do with more selection of beers and variety but the staff were nice.
