London’s Most Popular Pub: How The Devonshire Serves 500+ DAILY with a Former 3-MICHELIN STAR Chef

Join a Former Michelin-star chef Ashley Palmer-Watts at The Devonshire, one of London’s most popular pubs, for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what makes this pub a must-visit dining destination.

Ashley worked under Heston Blumenthal at both The Fat Duck and Dinner by Heston. Watch as Ashley prepares two standout dishes: a delicate Scallop with Bacon and Malt Vinegar, and a succulent Beef Chop.

Explore the butcher and dry-aging room with Ashley, learning about their expert techniques for sourcing and preparing top-quality meat. Oisin, the bar manager, also gives us a tour of the pub’s vibrant bar, sharing how pop star Ed Sheeran is a frequent visitor, even performing at the pub once. The Devonshire has now also been voted as the 2nd best pub in all of the U.K. by the Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs.

Finally, discover how The Devonshire creates its signature embers for grilling, adding a unique touch to their already exceptional menu. With its incredible food and welcoming atmosphere, The Devonshire truly sets the bar for what makes the best pub in London!
