    We’ve been to Blacklock Soho a few times now and it never disappoints. The food is always excellent and the service is exactly what you want it to be…friendly, attentive and relaxed. We were celebrating our anniversary and were very touched to be given a complimentary glass of champagne, which was completely unexpected. I couldn’t decide between a few of the sauces, so when my chosen sauce arrived they also brought small samples of the others for me to try. A brilliant and very generous gesture that summed up the approach to service throughout the evening. This has become our go-to place now (Soho location). The combination of quality, atmosphere and service keeps us coming back, and the value for money is hard to beat for this type of food in London.

    Bodeans has been one of my favourite restaurants since they first opened. Their burnt ends are quite unique and all the burgers and dogs are good. Nice venue with comfortable seating. Our server was great.
