Ex-Hawksmoor whizz Gorden Ker has taken to a former basement brothel in Soho to open a steak restaurant dedicated to chops and happily affordable cocktails. This is Blacklock - an intimate space of communal wooden tables and candlelit vibes – where guests pick between racks of beef, pork, lamb and veal at wallet-friendly rates.

A carnivorous feast should quickly ensue, as guests settle around the communal tables for a chat and a swill at a few £5 cocktails. Yep, that’s cocktails… in Soho… for a fiver. There’s a solid stream of wine too if mixed drinks aren’t your thing.
