A modern take on the great British chophouse, Blacklock Birmingham is nestled inside a beautiful Grade II listed Vicarage on Cathedral Square. We source the best meat in the country from award-winning Cornish farmer and butcher Philip Warren, and cook our chops the simple way, over charcoal, with a little help from our vintage Blacklock irons. This results in perfectly charred chops, steaks and plates made for sharing.All of this is served up alongside generous sides, wine on tap and cocktails served from our cocktail trolley. On Sundays we serve roasts almost as good as Mum’s with all the trimmings and (unlimited) gravy. Don't forget to try Granny's White Chocolate Cheesecake for dessert!Bookings and walk-ins welcome.

    Food is definitely an improvement on the last establishment in this place. Service is the same- with the same people- although I thought downstairs front of house were very friendly and accommodating. Starters were excellent and cocktails were good. Mains not bad but not as great as the starters. Would definitely return whereas I wouldn’t have said that for the last place.

    We visited on Saturday early evening and as soon as we walked in the service was great. We had a fillet steak and sirloin and they were both cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend the fillet and the sweet potato was great. Will definitely be back.

    The staff were amazing and customer service was brilliant. The food was on point with lots of different choices and all the courses came out at perfect timing. I booked this place to see a very good friend after years and I think it was the perfect place as we were able to catch up properly within a relaxed environment. Thank you for making the evening special!
