Blacklock has built a reputation as one of London’s most respected chophouses, and its first northern outpost brings that same energy to Manchester. Tucked beneath Harvester House on Peter Street, this subterranean steak and chop joint is all about big flavours, quality ingredients, and a dining experience that’s lively, communal, and full of character.

Meat takes centre stage here, sourced from an award-winning Cornish farm and cooked over charcoal for that perfect balance of smokiness and tenderness. The signature ‘all in’ feast is a showstopper, piling steaks and chops high on flatbreads that soak up every last drop of flavour. Sundays take things even further with whole joints slow-roasted over open flames, accompanied by duck fat roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, and as much gravy as you can handle.

Beyond the meat, the menu offers a selection of carefully crafted small plates, from indulgent pre-chop bites to standout vegetable dishes that refuse to be sidelined. And then there’s the white chocolate cheesecake—an infamous house specialty served tableside with a simple instruction: ‘say when.’

The drinks list follows the same ethos of quality without pretension, featuring sustainable wines on tap, a well-balanced selection of cocktails, and a few signature twists on classic serves. The atmosphere is warm and energetic, with a team that knows how to strike the balance between efficiency and genuine hospitality.

Bringing together rich history, a passion for exceptional ingredients, and a dedication to proper chophouse dining, Blacklock has arrived in Manchester ready to make its mark. Whether it’s a long lunch, a lively dinner, or a Sunday roast to remember, this is a place where food is made to be shared, plates are piled high, and good times come guaranteed.
