Gordon Ker, from Hawksmoor's grill restaurant in the heart of Soho.
Gordon Ker (formerly at Hawksmoor) was inspired to open Blacklock after seeing roadside shacks in Portugal and the US and the Turkish ‘Ocakbasis’ off the Kingsland Road.
The menu is centered around the homemade charcoal grill, with beef, pork, lamb and veal being seared using vintage irons (made in the 1800s by a cast iron foundry in the Deep South called Blacklock, from whence the name). Using this method to cook the chops leaves them hot and crispy on the outside but still pink and juicy in the middle. The restaurant is based in a former ‘old brothel’ on Great Windmill Street, in a basement seating 60 diners.
The drinks menu is affordable with cocktails available for a fiver, wine on tap, and collaborations with some of London’s best bars.
