Blacklock a modern version of the Great British chophouse. Set in the heart of an old listed building that once housed the King’s Coachmakers on Bedford Street.

    This is the 4th visit to J Sheeky’s. It started in 2012 with a visit with my Mam who loved it so it has special memories. Anytime I’m in London I try to go to this place because it is such a special place to eat. It’s not pretentious however it is something special, right from the customer service to the ambience and then the food! The food is delectable, always served beautifully. There’s no rush with the service although you have someone assigned to your part of the dining room they are present when needed and execute their services wonderfully. I can wax lyrical about the food that is served but you need to to go to truly appreciate it. I for one will be visiting again as soon as I’m back in London and I recommend this place to anyone that is either a lover of seafood which is their speciality however they do other food which I’m sure is equally as delicious. J Sheekey’s is truly a 1st rate restaurant and gastronomical experience and I’d vote 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all day long.

    Superb food which represented excellent value for money, especially in Covent Garden. It gives Flat Iron a run for its money and is arguably better. Great sides, sauces, beautifully cooked steak, and inventive cocktails. Fast and attentive service from knowledgeable staff. Only issue was being sat close to the stairs so we had a bit of a draft.
