Manchester has always been close to our hearts. As admirers from afar, we’ve looked on in awe of its fabulous food scene and grand architecture, dreaming of one day calling it home. So when a local landlord asked what we thought of a cosy basement in the corner of a Grade ll listed warehouse, formerly home to a textile merchant and threaded with Mancunian history, we hopped on the first train from Euston. Hiding in plain sight beneath bustly Peter Street, we took one look and knew we’d found ‘the one’. It also just so happens to be a stone's throw from a few spots we have ever-so-mild industry crushes on, like Speak in Code and Schofield’s Bar.

Reservations

We know that bookings are important for certain occasions . We take bookings of up to 8 people for those looking to guarantee a table at a specific time.

Sundays

Sunday Roast is a proper event at Blacklock… Our grills take a backseat as we light up the fire pits and hang our meat over the open coals for traditional live-fire cooking. That means we ONLY serve our Sunday Roast Menu on Sundays. Popular times can get snapped up quickly, so we recommend booking in advance. But hey, if you’re in the neighbourhood and catch an impromptu appetite for a seriously good Sunday Roast, we’ll do our very best to accommodate you.

Walk-Ins

We love walk-ins, because sometimes the best meals are the spontaneous ones. Please roll in and we’ll get you sat down as soon as we can. If it’s busy, we’ll react to make your wait as short as possible. Meanwhile, you can always get comfortable at our bar and enjoy a tipple while we work on it for you.

Accessibility

Manchester is accessible via a lift. Upon arrival please ring the bell below the menu box and we will show to round.

When booking, if there is anything we can do to make your time with us more comfortable and we will do our best.

Please email us directly if you would like to bring your furry friends before booking so we can confirm we have space for pooches. Well behaved dogs are welcome here as well as Shoreditch and Canary Wharf too.

Chop House & Steak Restaurant in Manchester

Great-tasting food without the fuss

Blacklock is all about doing the simple things well. Generous chops and steaks (and plenty more in between) served with sides made for sharing. As a chophouse and steak restaurant based in the heart of Manchester's city centre, our aim has always been to serve the very best meat our fair land has to offer, whilst staying kind to your wallet. We work closely with our friends and trusted farmers, the Warrens, to source the very best of British beef, which is carefully dry-aged to deepen flavour. By using the whole animal to make something of everything, we champion great chops and steak, at incredible value.

We’re on a humble mission to be considered among some of the best steak restaurants in Manchester — somewhere to settle in, make memories, and enjoy great-tasting food with all the trimmings, and none of the fuss.

Sunday Roast in Manchester

Almost as Good as Moms (and only available on Sundays!)

We do Sundays differently here at Blacklock Manchester.

The kitchen switches gears for the day and the grills are packed away. In their place? Whole joints of meat hung and gently roasted over our open coals, just as they once were. We’ve even picked up the odd award or two along the way, and quietly strive to serve one of the best Sunday roasts in Manchester by always focusing on doing things properly.

From lunch through to the evening, it’s all about generous plates of perfectly cooked meat, seasonal vegetables, crispy roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, and plenty of (unlimited) gravy. A relaxed, all-day affair built around tradition, quality, and a proper get-together.

Vegetarian? No problem. Tuck into a meat-free roast featuring a divine barbecued cauliflower chop, served with all the classic British sides. We also serve a selection of gluten-free dishes (including a delicious gluten-free gravy!), so nobody misses out on a warm, cosy roast. For more details around allergens, take a look at our allergy and nutrition list.

Please note: only our Sunday Roast menu is available on Sundays.

Pre-Show Dining in Manchester

Perfectly placed for pre-theatre

Located literally next door to Albert Hall – and within 10 minutes walking distance from Palace Theatre, Bridgewater Hall, and Manchester Central – Blacklock is the perfect destination for an easy, delicious, time-friendly lunch or dinner that will have you perfectly set up well before the curtain calls.

We know showtimes can be strict — so, for those in a hurry, our team will be on hand to talk you through the most time-friendly options on our menu to ensure you’re well-fed and on your way in good time. Let the team know your curtain time and we'll take care of the rest.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH CHILLI HOLLANDAISE

Butcher Price Monday

Why we LOVE Mondays

Unpopular opinion, but we LOVE Mondays here at Blacklock Manchester – and for good reason! Every Monday, our famous Big Chops — think Porterhouse, Prime Rib, Bone-in Sirloin, and Lamb Rump — are served at the same price you’d pay at your local butcher: just £8 per 100g. Think generous, door-stop-thick cuts designed for sharing or indulging solo.

Butcher Price Monday is all about incredible chops and steak at great value. All cuts are cooked to order and written up on the board, then crossed off as they go - once they’re gone, they’re gone. No catches, just cut-price chops at a fraction of the usual price.

Available all day for lunch and dinner, Butcher Price Monday has quickly become a much-loved ritual at Blacklock Manchester. We advise booking ahead as it gets busy, but we always try to keep a few tables free for walk-ins. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy some of the best steak in Manchester at a snip of the price!

Drinks at Blacklock

Cocktails, wine and beer

While our chefs and butchers champion a whole-animal approach, our bar team embraces a “pip to peel” philosophy, using every last drop of fruit to minimise waste and maximise flavour. The result? Thoughtfully crafted cocktails that are as delicious as they are sustainable, proving that great drinks that do a little good too, make them all the more enjoyable.

Whether you’re after expertly mixed cocktails, locally brewed beers or alcohol-free options that don’t compromise on taste, our Manchester bar has something for every occasion. We’ve long had a soft spot for Cornwall, with Philip Warren caring for the Blacklock herd and Harbour Brew Co. brewing our beers on the North Cornish coast. Closer to home, collaborations with Runaway Brewery brings the best of Manchester’s craft beer scene straight to our bar, celebrating brilliant local brewing alongside our favourite Blacklock classics.

Our wine list is equally considered, with sustainable wine on tap offering a fresher, lower-impact way to enjoy exceptional wines from some of our favourite producers around the world. And while we’re not ones for a Fine Wine or Reserve List we have a carefully curated list of special bottles picked up from many travels abroad and smuggled home for you to enjoy.
