    We had an incredible Sunday roast at Blacklock Covent Garden. The food was absolutely top-notch—perfectly cooked meats, rich and flavorful gravy, and some of the best roast potatoes we’ve ever had. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day in London. A special shout-out to James, our waiter, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Even with two very tired children in tow, he was patient, friendly, and incredibly accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. His great service made a real difference, and we truly appreciated it. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a proper Sunday roast with fantastic service. We’ll definitely be back!

    I’m a fan. Lunch. Pre-theater. Post-theater. Expertly prepared and fresh raw bar (no bits of shell floating in oysters). I’ve done beef all ways and it’s delish, from the tartare to the entrecotè to a burger that is top 3 in my London Burger Quest. My wife is a pescatarian and is thumbs up all the way. The vibe is always on, the service is spot-on, and this is my go-to if I’m overwhelmed st finding the “new thing” in London. Sometimes the familiar can be your routine extraordinary, and that’s a good thing. And did I say the prices were reasonable by London or New York standards?

    The food was wonderful! I can honestly say I nearly cried with happiness when I tried the mash as it was divine. Steak and starter were also so tasty! The vibe inside was really nice, and there was a live DJ. Our waiter was also really friendly and attentive. The bill, of course, was very expensive, but as a rare treat to ourselves, we didn't mind. I'd definitely go back again

    We chose to eat at NoMad prior to taking in a show in the west end. The meal was fantastic, staff attentive and if we had to criticise, we would say the alcohol was slightly overpriced. Would we return, absolutely

    Hubby's birthday so quick trip to London to celebrate and booked a table at Seven Dials for lunch. Food was well presented and tasted amazing. Sides are for sharing so three between two was ample and could probably got away with two. Hubby enjoyed his can of beer, Hawksmoor own brand, and I loved the fact there was a decent choice of non-alcoholic beverages. The young lady serving us was great, even singing Happy Birthday to hubby when presenting him with his chocolates and birthday candle.
