Chophouse restaurant group Blacklock has confirmed plans to make its regional debut in Manchester this autumn.
The restaurant will be its first outside London and seventh overall, with sites across the capital in locations including Canary Wharf, Shoreditch, and Covent Garden.
The Manchester venue will be in a Grade II-listed building and will offer new dishes with ingredients sourced from Northern suppliers, as well as the group’s signature Sunday Roast.
It will also serve sustainably sourced meat from Cornish family farmers and longstanding Blacklock suppliers Philip and Ian Warren.
Blacklock was awarded B Corp status last year.
Gordon Ker, who founded Blacklock in 2015, said: “I absolutely love the architecture in Manchester; the tiled basements, lightwells and stone frontages feel very us, and when a landlord asked what we thought of a basement hiding in plain sight beneath the bustle of Peter Street, I knew we’d found our perfect Manchester home.”
In October 2023, Ker told MCA that “always getting better” is the main strategic vision for the brand, which in turn should open up opportunities for growth - with further sites in London remaining a priority.
“We are looking to grow the company organically,” he said.
