New chophouse restaurant to open in Birmingham city centre: menu, opening date, location and more
Blacklock will open a new restaurant on Birmingham's bustling St Philip's Place this autumn.
Overlooking Cathedral Square, the restaurant will transform the ground floor of St Philip's House into a 100-seat restaurant and bar.
For their modern take on the Great British chophouse, Blacklock prides themselves on serving the very best quality meat in the country whilst using the whole animal to make something of everything.
The menu will include a variety of cuts, from chops - cooked to perfection under searing hot irons - to steaks, dry aged for up to 55 days all cooked over charcoal.
Joining their famous chops and steaks; a selection of dishes for sharing which have proven legendary in London and more recently Manchester. The All In, a teetering platter of beef, pork and lamb chops, piled onto charred flatbreads to soak up all the meat juices and served with a selection of sides.

What else is on the menu?
Their award-winning Sunday Roast, where whole joints of beef, lamb and pork are roasted slowly over open coals, served with Yorkshire puddings, duck fat roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and an unsparing amount of Blacklock gravy (which takes over a week to make!) with members of the team touring the restaurant, topping up gravy boats from midday until it's gone.
The drinks menu will feature cocktails that follow a pip-to-peel philosophy, an extensive list of wines on tap and a selection of beers and ciders, including their very own Blacklock Brews.
Blacklock will open in Autumn ‘25 at 4, St Philip’s Place. No offical date has been confirmed yet.
What’s been said about the venue?
Founder, Gordon Ker, said: “10 years on from that shoestring conversion of an old Soho basement, we’re very excited to be embarking on the restoration of one of the most beautiful buildings in Birmingham.
“The city’s vibrant culture and thriving local food scene has meant we’ve always wanted to call it home. We’ve looked high and low for the perfect spot and St Philip’s House has such a rich history with plenty of stories to tell and we’re looking forward to bringing it back to life, becoming part of the local community and filling the restaurant with plenty of happy guests.”
