For years, only the former vicar who once lived in this building had the privilege of enjoying this ground-floor panorama of St Philip’s Place. When Blacklock officially opens on Monday, April 20, it will serve generous sharing platters, Sunday roasts, and “say when” pudding portions in a space carefully designed to evoke old-world charm.
