We arrived early which caused a little bit of a problem, but the staff solved that and put us at a bigger table with the strict instructions we must be done in 1.5 hours. Still, I think they were a little annoyed with us. I ordered the Fish and Chips which as delicious. A nice big portion with crispy fish and crispy chips (fries). I'd probably go back if I were in the area again. This was especially convenient as we just got off a bus day trip one block away.

It's at the bottom of a Holiday Inn, or at least, it appeared to be that way, and was a strange mish-mash of a pub. I think it was trying to feel like it was really old, yet it had the strangest collection of furniture and decor. We had a blast making fun of this tavern. Tables were laid out in sort of a weird fashion and at first we were really close to this group of 20 somethings that were fairly drunk and really obnoxious and a woman who was sitting by herself at a table for 6 who was reading a book while her food sat off to the side. The drunk group left and it got nice and quiet and so did the woman who had a better table than we did so we took her table. Nothing we drank was anything we'd ever come back for. There are way too many good pubs in London. Unless everything else is closed and this is the only option, go elsewhere!

As far as the aesthetic and vibes, it definitely met expectations! It's been around since the 1800's and has a beautiful bar (see photo). The food and drink options are classic English staples- we all ordered fish n chips and sticky toffee pudding. I'm no English-food expert, but I can say both dishes were pretty mid. The fish was huge, but not crispy... chips were perfectly fried- peas were, well, peas (lol)! But the service was friendly and the whole experience was a good one! Would I come back? Probably not- but I'm still happy that this was my first English pub/food experience in London!

We came by to just take pictures to send to them but decided to pop in for drinks and lunch. It was 12:30 and we were hungry from walking around all morning. We sat outside on the patio out front. It had a reserved sign on the table but the hostess said we can have the table. It was a hot day with maybe the 3rd or 4th heat wave of the summer! We wanted to sit outside but in the shade. The table they gave us was perfect! The pints and cocktails were a perfect start. We ordered: Crab malfade £20 Chicken and Parm Ham Schnitzel £20.50 Fish & Chips £22.50 Only the crab malfade was good. The rest of the meals were not great but we were hungry so we ate them. Still giving them a 4 stars for great ambiance and service. Definitely more of a drinks spot.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a casual pint or a relaxed meal. The food is solid--nothing overly fancy, but it delivers on classic pub flavors. Service was friendly and quick, even when the place got busy. Whether you're grabbing a drink with friends or looking for a cozy pub experience, this is a solid choice. Would definitely return!

Devonshire Arms was only a 5 minute walk from the hotel I was staying at (Park City Grand Plaza…read moreKensington), so I ended up coming here three times. The first two times were just for a couple pints of beer, then on my third visit, I tried multiple items from the dining menu. The restaurant itself is modern and cozy on the inside with a beautiful dining area outside surrounded by greenery. Remember to order at the counter instead of waiting for the waitress to come around! The service was well paced and each waitress was welcoming and attentive. While I enjoyed my beers, I ordered the charcuterie board, the miso glazed chicken skewers, and finished it off with the sticky toffee pudding. My favorite item was the chicken skewers because it was perfectly rationed for one person. I had trouble finishing the charcuterie board, but that doesn't mean it wasn't delicious! I do have to say that it gets very busy here, so try to come by before peak hours. They also strictly close at 10pm because it's directly located in a neighborhood.
