London chophouse Blacklock expanded to Birmingham B3 on St Philip’s Place, offering charcoal-cooked chops and steaks in a former Victorian vicarage, The Guardian reported.
- Blacklock opened its Birmingham site on St Philip’s Place on the edge of Cathedral Square, adding to five locations in London and one in Manchester.
- The menu features charcoal-cooked items including porterhouse, bone-in sirloin, lamb rump, and pig’s head on toast, alongside a Monday pricing promotion.
- Dishes are priced from about £40 a head à la carte or £28 a head for the sharing menu, plus drinks and service.
The new restaurant occupies the ground floor of St Philip’s House, a former Victorian vicarage featuring stripped back dark wood panelling. It sits near Cathedral Square, known locally as Pigeon Park, surrounded by established dining spots such as the Ivy, Damascena on Temple Row, and Pasture.
“Safe to say, Blacklock is a gothic gourmand’s paradise,” the reviewer said in The Guardian.
The menu centers on charcoal-grilled meats, featuring stainless-steel tureens heaped with lamb cutlets and lamb T-bones priced at £8 a chop. Accompaniments include beef dripping chips drizzled with garlic bone marrow, broccoli and walnut salad, and ash-roasted potatoes.
“It’s all very Tudor feasting, although erring more towards Elizabethan,” the reviewer described in The Guardian. Starters include potted meat with kimchi, egg-and-anchovy bites, and cheese and pickle.
The restaurant operates a promotion known as “butcher price Monday,” where every big chop costs £8 per 100g. The à la carte dining averages about £40 a head, while the all-in sharing menu is priced at £28 a head, both excluding drinks and service.
Dessert options are limited to a white chocolate cheesecake with seasonal berries and a bowl of ice-cream. The restaurant opens Monday through Friday for lunch from noon to 3pm, and for dinner from 5pm, closing at 9.30pm on Monday through Wednesday, 10pm on Thursday, and 10.30pm on Friday, with weekend hours on Saturday from noon to 10.30pm and Sunday from 11.45am to 8pm.
