OJT EATS | Blacklock Covent Garden

A while ago now, Blacklock opened a new restaurant in Covent Garden.  Having been to a good number of their other locations (read about our trip to their Shoreditch outpost here), it was only a matter of time before we gave this one a go.  We decided to pop in for a quick lunch the other day.

The first challenge was finding the place.  It’s nestled in a bit of an alleyway but luckily there is a pretty clear sign on the wall nearby that lets you know that you are close.

Having headed downstairs into the restaurant, it was straight onto starters with this cull yaw crumpet.  Cull yaw is a type of mutton and Blacklock slow roasts it overnight before putting it on a crumpet and putting some pickled onions on top.  As with most things in Blacklock, it comes with a little gravy boat full of super rich and more-ish gravy.  The yaw was full of flavour and roasted to meltingly tender; a super meaty great little starter.

Pigs head on toast.  An everpresent item on the Blacklock menu, this is as good as it always is.  The toast is hearty enough to soak up all the pork juices as well as the gravy and the pigs head is deliciously unctuous.  One of my favourite starters across London I think.

After all of that meat, we thought we should at least have a little bit of veg so ordered the cauliflower and sprouts with chestnuts.  The cauliflower turned out to be romanesco cauliflower which was a little different but very tasty and as a big fan of sprouts, this was a great little side.

Seeing as this was lunch, we thought we’d keep it (relatively) light with a steak sandwich rather than go either the all in (which gives you a bunch of chops) or a big ass steak.  The steak sandwich has a decent amount of perfectly medium rare steak in it along with a good dash of horesradish and some greenery, all between a couple of slices of toasted sourdough; so good!

All in all, a very meaty but very tasty lunch!  Blacklock always seems to deliver when you are looking for good value meat, whether it be a couple of meaty starters, a steak sandwich or even a big cut of steak.

Dwarves:

Masterlist

Longbeards (Durin's Folk): Durin´s, the eldest of the Dwarven fathers, folk are one of the longest lived dwarf clanes and can, they live long even for other dwarves. Their capital is Khazad-dûm, later known as Moria, located in the Misty Mountains. They speak Sindarin (common) and Khuzdul. Longbeards can be around 250 years, and presumably have longer beards than the rest of the Dwarves. The Longbeards woke in Gundabad.

Firebeards: The Firebeards are residents of Belegost, Nogros, and the Blue Mountains. They speak Sindarin (common) and Khuzdul. Firebeards don´t live as long as Durin´s folk so they can probably be around 200 years old and presumably have red beards. The Firebeards woke in the Blue Mountains with the Broadbeams.

Broadbeams:  The Broadbeams are residents of Belegost, Nogros, and the Blue Mountains. They speak Sindarin (common) and Khuzdul. Broadbeams don´t live as long as Durin´s folk so they can probably be around 200 years old. Nothing is said about their appearance. The Broadbeams woke in the Blue Mountains with the Firebeards.

Ironfists: The Ironfists are residents of Rhûn. Looking at geography Rhûn is in the east so they presumably have darker skin tones than the other Dwarves. They speak Sindarin (common), Khuzdul, and the language of Rhûn. Ironfists don´t live as long as Durin´s folk although they were said too to live about 250 years, so they have been close to the Longbeards in life span. It is unknown where the Ironfists woke other than that they woke with the Stiffbeards.

Stiffbeards: The Stiffbeards are residents of Rhûn. Looking at geography Rhûn is in the east so they presumably have darker skin tones than the other Dwarves. They speak Sindarin (common), Khuzdul, and the language of Rhûn. Stiffbeards don´t live as long as Durin´s folk although they were said too to live about 250 years, so they have been close to the Longbeards in life span. It is unknown where the Stiffbeards woke other than that they woke with the Ironfists.

Blacklocks: The Blacklocks are also residents of Rhûn. Looking at geography Rhûn is in the east so they presumably have darker skin tones than the other Dwarves, and for their name black hair or locks. They speak Sindarin (common), Khuzdul, and the language of Rhûn. Blacklocks don´t live as long as Durin´s folk although they were said too to live about 250 years, so they have been close to the Longbeards in life span. It is unknown where the Blacklocks woke other than that they woke with the Stonefoots.

Stonefoots:  The Stonefoots are also residents of Rhûn. Looking at geography Rhûn is in the east so they presumably have darker skin tones than the other Dwarves, and for their name black hair or locks. They speak Sindarin (common), Khuzdul, and the language of Rhûn. Stonefoots don´t live as long as Durin´s folk although they were said too to live about 250 years, so they have been close to the Longbeards in life span. It is unknown where the Blacklocks woke other than that they woke with the Blacklocks.

Pros: Dwarves start out as devoted to Aule no matter what, but if you play dwarf and want to be devoted to another, or be loose of any ties to the Vala you have to manually do that. Here you can change to any Vala you want or just want since you are his child and will always be in his favor no matter what. You will have + 2 on strength and + 4 when smithing.

Cons: Most elvers, except the Noldor and Avarin, bear distrust towards dwarves. They are slower than others and move at half the speed of others. They have disadvantaged on insight as they are distrustful in nature, and on deception and sleight of hand, unless their class gives them advantage.
