A Family Feast to Remember: The Roast Dinner at Manchester’s Blacklock

As a family of six, finding a restaurant that can cater to our bustling brood can be a challenge. But our recent visit to Blacklock in Manchester proved to be an exceptional experience that exceeded our expectations. We opted for their famous platter of roast dinner, and it was truly a treat for all of us.

The Blacklock Sunday Roast piles up a heady mix of Beef, Lamb and Pork Roasts with all of the trimmings. The star of the show was undoubtedly the succulent meats, cooked to perfection.

Whole joints are roasted over open coals and English oak the traditional way. Served with

Yorkshire pudding, duck fat-roast potatoes, a selection of seasonal vegetables and an

unsparing amount of Blacklock Gravy. From the tender lamb to flavourful beef, every bite was

a delight. The quality of the food was exceptional, and we appreciated the generous portions

that especially kept our growing teenage boy happy!

One of the standout aspects of Blacklock was the relaxed atmosphere that

permeated the entire dining area, so we didn’t have to worry about the kids getting restless

or getting overexcited.

Blacklock’s is nestled in a cosy basement in the corner of a Grade ll listed warehouse,

formerly home to a textile merchant rich with Mancunian history, with a warm and inviting

decor, adding to the overall ambiance of the meal.

The service at Blacklock was top-notch. Our server was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring that our glasses were always full and our plates were never empty. They were also happy to accommodate our requests and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal, making sure everyone felt at ease—especially Peter, who served us throughout and even got a hug from our youngest, Hartley (a thank you for all the extra gravy!).

No meal at Blacklock would be complete without trying their famous desserts. Whilst the rest of the family indulged in the renowned Blacklock white chocolate cheesecake, I was completely stuffed from the delicious Sunday Roast and opted for a Black Forest Cocktail—which was heavenly! The creamy textures and rich flavors were the perfect way to round off our meal.
Our visit to Blacklock was an unforgettable experience that left everyone in our family feeling full and content. With its exceptional food, relaxed atmosphere, and outstanding service, it’s a restaurant that we would highly recommend to families and foodies alike. We can’t wait to go back!

How to Handle Sleep Regressions Without Losing Your Sanity

Just when it finally feels like sleep is under control thanks to a rigid bedtime routine you made, everything falls apart. The baby who used to sleep through the night is now waking up every hour. Naps are a battle. The bedtime routine that once worked like magic suddenly does nothing. Plus, exhaustion takes over, patience runs thin, and suddenly, drinking coffee feels like a personality trait.
