The Cut's no-bookings gastropub, what Waterloo eats before the National Theatre
UK's No.1 gastropub 2026, the Soho Guinness pour and the dining room above it
Oisin Rogers, Charlie Carroll (Flat Iron) and Ashley Palmer-Watts opened The Devonshire on Denman Street in late 2023 and within eighteen months it became the most-booked dining room in central London. Ground floor: the Guinness pour the Irish press writes about, a long bar, no booking. Upstairs: an in-house butchery and bakery feeding a properly-set dining room of Sunday roasts and chops. Named No.1 gastropub in the UK by Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs 2026.
Upstairs dining room books out four weeks ahead, release at 09:00 on Resy. Downstairs Guinness bar walk-in only, queue from 16:00. Top 50 Gastropubs UK No.1 (2026).
