The original Blacklock in Soho was an instant hit with its mix of excellent chops and creative cocktails for £5—the only snag was the 90-minute queue around the corner. They’ve since opened in blessedly larger premises in the City, bringing a winning formula of playful cocktails, warm but casual service and an unfussy meat-oriented menu East. Skinny veal cutlets are blackened on the outside but virtually blue when cut through; belly strips are perfectly crisp yet unctuous, expertly-rendered mouthfuls of meaty goodness. And those wallet-friendly Negronis and Old Fashioneds just add to the fun.
