About The Devonshire
The Devonshire is a pub with a wood-fire grill restaurant above it on Denman Street in Soho. It is run by Oisín Rogers, formerly landlord of the Guinea Grill, and Charlie Carroll of Flat Iron, with a menu written by executive chef Ashley Palmer-Watts, who previously cooked at the Fat Duck and Dinner2,3. Head chef Jamie Guy previously worked for Mark Hix3. It opened in autumn 2023 on a site that had been a Jamie's Italian2,3.
The ground floor is a walk-in pub serving bar food from the in-house butcher and bakery alongside pints of Guinness1. Upstairs, the dining rooms are built around a wood ember grill, cooking Scottish beef that is dry-aged and butchered on site, langoustines from Oban, day boat fish, lobster and hand-dived scallops from Devon1. Reviewers describe soft-lit, wood-panelled rooms and a large custom-built grill2, and there is a roof terrace kept for walk-ins1,4.
The restaurant serves an à la carte menu, a set menu, a Sunday lunch menu and a feasting menu for tables of 8 to 14, and four private rooms upstairs take groups of up to 601. Dishes named in reviews include baked scallops with bacon and malt vinegar, beef and Guinness suet pudding, duck-fat chips and a Grand Marnier soufflé2,3. À la carte tables are released every Thursday at 10.30am, three weeks ahead1.
