The Devonshire London Reviews
The best ever steak
I visited for the first time yesterday with a friend, and we both ordered the same starter and main. For starters we chose the Potted Shrimp with Melba Toast. To be honest I found it quite underwhelming, but it was extremely tasty. For the main we bo
Excellent food, book well in advance
Fantastic meal. Great choice of starters and mains. I had the daily menu special which was good but I regretted not ordering al a carte when I saw my other family membersโ meals. Ribs as a starter were to die for, better than Fallow I must say. Cra
Bavetteโs no feast
Maybe itโs not quite as busy as when it first opened but there were still plenty of chaps in gilets inside and out on the street. As walk-ins we got a table for dinner upstairs no problem. Admittedly the tables are closely packed together. Set menu
Wow experience. Take a hard hat if youโre there for a pint.
Being led through the Devonshire Arms Soho towards the back staircase that leads to the echelons of the upper dining floors, I imagine is akin to a Gladiator being led to the arena through a baying crowd. Iโm told the Devonshire in the lead up to C
Nice food, friendly team
I visited twice. It was fantastic the first time. It was calmer, maybe half of the tables were occupied. Staff was very attentive, helpful and friendly. The food was superb! The second time was not that good. The place was buzzing with guests. And t
A perfect late summer treat, warm atmosphere and flawless service!
The weather was beautiful. Maybe one of the last good days before autumn sets in. You know that bittersweet feeling? Joyful, but with a touch of melancholy as the season changes. I was in that exact mood, hoping to find a place to rest and to savour
Excellent 2/3 course menu available all day
Google suggests the pub opens at 11am, but note that food service doesnโt begin until 12pm. Before then, the pub downstairs is open for drinks. The Devonshire sits in Soho, opposite the Moulin Rouge Theatre, tucked along a small pedestrian street.
Average food. Outstanding staff.
Called on a weekday lunchtime & got a table on the terrace. Very tightly packed which wonโt suit everyone, but we donโt mind. Started with the scallops & a soup. The scallops were with bacon, which seemed to be lardons cooked so much the
Meat as it supposed to be served!
THE place te go! Make sure you make a reservation and believe me you will not be sorry! Great service great food! We had the ribs as a starter, fall of the bone tender! As main beef chap grilled to perfection!! Desert the pudding and damn that put a
Bravo
We had a 12.15 pm slot and were given a table on the relatively quiet top floor.By 1.15 the room was jammed.I really recommend going as early as possible as things get hectic later.Food was excellent.Simple British fare well executed; of course the s
Overpriced with poor food and service
Very overpriced pretentious food menu with chewy fatty meat that cost with wine but not all drinks ยฃ143 each!!! Waiting staff are very good and seem keen to please but never asked re allergies. Very busy with tourists but real locals avoid it as itโ
Disappointed
Disappointed. Overpriced for what we got. Unimaginative, very plain and rather stodgy food. Fish nicely cooked and wine good. Very noisy so hard at times to make conversation. I will not go again.
Best pub in London
We had an amazing meal here recently, the suet pudding was outstanding and my daughter said it was the best steak she had ever had which was cooked to perfection. Service was great and the atmosphere was perfect. We even tried the guiness which is de
Pink beef is not blue
Unfortunately gentlemen the beef wasnโt cooked today. Pink is amazing as your waiter advised, a blue slice of beef is not the same thing. Also it lacked in quality as there was no flavour. Itโs a great shame as I travelled from Dorset to have lun
Overrated!
I must find out who does the PR and marketing for the Devonshire as they are very successful promoting this very average restaurant. It is challenging to secure a reservation and i was trying to impress friends from out of town. Once i secured th
A good one
Very good indeed. Service was to the point and practical. I agree with another reviewer below re having realistic expectations - itโs a pub restaurant not a high end Mayfair establishment!!! The food was excellent and very well presented. Portion
Must reserve table
Brilliant food ... as you would expect ! We shared Iberico pork ribs, pork chops and lamb cutlets. They were all delicious. Peppercorn sauce, chips and buttered carrots to accompany. Really good. We had a 3pm reservation on a Saturday and the plac
Best steak in London
Excellent steak best I had in London and some in much more expensive establishments than the Devonshire the soufflรฉ desert is absolutely divine and of course the Guinness tops it all off. Highly recommended
Top notch English pub grub
Went here as a party of 7. Atmosphere , service food and drink all great. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had scallops, pie with mash and sticky toffee pudding. All were great. Service was relaxed and certainly not rushed. Atmosphere is unpretentious.
Incredible quality, professional service in a super friendly and casual environment
Absolutely phenomenal lunch at the Devonshire. Great atmosphere, fantastic professional staff and above all delicious food at reasonable prices. The pub offers casual and simple food that shines based on the high quality of the ingredients handled
Mixed Opinions
Was really looking forward to eating here after being intoxicated by their social media. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the food was of mixed quality. Most of my companions enjoyed their meals but my rib-eye was rendered inedible to me because of tr
Unbearably hot, not possible to sit for long, bad dessert
Unfortunately we were seated in front of a very hot oven fire and additionally a grill cooking meat with no ventilation. No staff were anywhere near where we were seated. We quickly discovered the previous people in our seat had just asked to move fo
Could eat here every week
Aside a 30min wait for our table, the Devonshire is a great package. A humming bar downstairs spilling onto the pavement and upstairs refined restaurant. The menu has something for all - Iberico ribs, langoustine & prawn salad, scallops & bac
Outstanding food and staff
Outstanding food. Possibly the best roast beef I have ever eaten. Superb Guinness. Excellent,friendly staff. Shout out to Will for looking after us so well.
Book the night before
I was dying to try this place but it was impossible to get a booking!! Then my friend told me try the night before for the next day reservation and try for the week day lunch. It worked the magic and we got a table for lunch on Thursday. We got the f
Not good enough, sadly.
Great front of house staff. Good food. Good ambience. Really slow delivery which is a shame. My drink took eternity and needed chasing. We ordered one course of food, very simple, took the best part of an hour, after chasing. There are many better
Great Food, The Grill Room Is A Mistake.
First time eating at The Devonshire, even though I walk past it a lot and come 5pm, it's ten deep outside with people enjoying a drink. It has also just been recently named as the best Gastro Pub of the year, along with Opening of The Year at the sam
Outstanding
We had a reservation for Fatherโs Day late lunch. I had heard such great things about this place and was worried the hype may lead to disappointment but it did not disappoint at all! The Guinness was worth the hype (according to my husband!). I can
Amazing pub - donโt overthink it
Went to the pub and loved the vibe. Their main problem is that they are too hyped up and people have strange expectations. The pub food is excellent, the steak sandwich and the scotch egg are above par for pub food at a reasonable price. The Guinness
I WAS EXPECTING BETTER!!
Read all the reviews about this newish restaurant/chef and having booked at the very moment the website opened for our particular date couldnt wait to try. We had a Guinness in the pub downstairs which was excellent and brilliantly drawn by the barm
Great Guinness, mediocre food
I was at the Devonshire last Sunday with a group of 6. We got the booking a month in advance and was excited to try it. We were shown to our table and it was 25 minutes before we got a drink (Guinness or water!). Two of us had brought a drink from th
Fabulous steak !! Loved it here.
Brilliant ๐คฉ canโt wait to return! Had a fantastic dinner in a great restaurant with lovely service. Would come back in a heartbeat ๐
Birthday treat
Service excellent, food delicious, Guinness a delight, good selection of wine, a perfect family birthday celebration!
Food ok, but completely ruined by awful service/ lack of service.
We were left sat waiting for 15 minutes before we could order a drink and were never even given a wine menu. The two tables either side of us who sat down after us had already received their drinks, so we were asking the servers who gave their drinks

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Devonshire London. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Devonshire London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Devonshire London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at The Devonshire London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Devonshire London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
