'Sustainable' chophouse opens fourth restaurant in Covent Garden

London chophouse, Blacklock, is set to open its fourth restaurant in February 2022 in Covent Garden.

Over three years since the group last launched a new restaurant, with its flagship on Soho’s Great Windmill Street in 2015, followed by their City and Shoreditch restaurants in 2017 and 2018 respectively, the new opening promises to bring Blacklock’s meat and hospitality to Covent Garden’s revellers.

The restaurant, the largest Blacklock yet, will make its home beneath bustling Bedford Street in a building that used to house the King’s Coachmakers, seating 110 covers.

Blacklock’s whole animal approach means they make something out of everything, and Covent Garden will see new and lesser known cuts of meat hitting the menu for the first time, including Denver and Tri-tip steaks. With sustainable wine on tap served by the litre and a pip-to-peel ethos behind their bars, the menu is full-circle and keeps waste at an all time low.

Furthering the brand’s sustainability ethos, Blacklock has begun the journey towards B Corp status. In line with this, Blacklock’s ‘Planet Promise’ sees a tree planted for every customer that dines with them.

Commenting on the upcoming launch, Gordon Ker said: “It’s been a rough two years for everybody and so, over three years since we last opened a Blacklock, we are bubbling over with excitement to be looking forward, growing again and opening our fourth restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden.

“And, in particular, creating fantastic new opportunities for our brilliant and loyal teams as well as introducing never-before-seen dishes to the menu for our guests. We cannot wait to open and become part of the local area, home to so many other fantastic restaurants, theatres and history.”

Blacklock Covent Garden will open for lunch and dinner from February 7 2022, with walk-ins and reservations available.
