Overlooking Cathedral Square, the new restaurant brings Blacklock’s celebrated take on the Great British chophouse to the Midlands, alongside a menu featuring a number of dishes created exclusively for Birmingham.
For the first time, Blacklock will serve fish alongside its signature chops and steaks. Cornish dayboat monkfish, cooked over coals on the bone to intensify its rich, meaty flavour, is served with a velvety cream and mustard sauce and finished with a garlic crumb.
By using the whole animal to make something of everything Blacklock champions great steak at incredible value for money and also joining its list of steaks in Birmingham is Bavette, priced keenly at £15 alongside the Blacklock Fillet at £24. Often referred to as the ‘butcher’s cut’, Bavette is known for its deep, rich flavour and, like all Blacklock beef, is dry-aged for up to 55 days.
A selection of seasonal sides completes the new additions, including a new Chop House Salad, Blacklock’s take on a decadent Waldorf combines chicory, pear, Stilton and candied pecans, designed to stand up alongside the restaurant’s signature chops.
Blacklock has introduced an exciting new addition to its drinks lineup: the Ruby Mild (4.3%). This brand-new brew is the result of a collaboration between Blacklock and Birmingham Brewing Company, and it is brewed by Harbour Brewing Co in Cornwall. The Ruby Mild will roll out across Blacklock locations in London, Manchester, and Birmingham. Additionally, beers from Birmingham Brewing Company and Glasshouse will be available at Blacklock Birmingham from day one.
These new dishes will be served in the 100-seat restaurant and bar alongside Blacklock favourites, including the All In sharing feast of beef, pork and lamb chops served resting atop charred flatbreads, their award-winning Sunday Roast with bottomless Blacklock gravy, and Granny’s White Chocolate Cheesecake, served tableside with its signature “say when” approach to portion size.
Blacklock first opened in a Soho basement in 2015 and has since grown across London and Manchester. Continuing its love of restoring heritage spaces, Blacklock Birmingham is housed within St. Philip’s House, a striking former vicarage which has been thoughtfully brought back to life and will soon hum to the sounds of meat crackling over charcoal.
Founder Gordon Ker said: “We’ve been longing to open in Birmingham for a while, so to be on the cusp of opening feels very special. Our building is beautiful and, while the paint is still drying, it already feels like home. There’ll be lots that feel familiar to those who know us from London or Manchester, but we also wanted to do something very special for Birmingham, with a few new dishes, including fish for the first time. As we dress the cocktail trolley and put the final touches in place, we can't wait to become part of this great city.“
Blacklock Birmingham opens on Monday 20th April, with bookings now live here.
