Welcome to The Devonshire, officially the busiest pub in London and home to one of the hardest food reservations in the entire city! Pouring an insane 20,000 pints of Guinness a week, this Soho icon has completely taken over the London food scene.
In this video, I’m spending an entire day at this legendary destination to conquer their two completely different menus back-to-back: the famous Sunday Roast and their live-fire À La Carte menu.
We kick things off in the buzzing pub downstairs with co-founder and legendary Chef Ashley Palmer-Watts for a few perfect pints and an exclusive look at their dry-aging meat fridges. Then, it’s straight into round one: a massive British Sunday Roast complete with smoked salmon, brawn toast, and sticky toffee pudding.
After a quick intermission to walk off the food coma around Piccadilly, we go right back in for round two: the live-fire À La Carte feast. We’re talking wood-fired scallops, giant piles of langoustines, a half lobster, their internet-famous beef cheek and Guinness suet pudding, followed by premium dry-aged Wagyu ribeye and T-bone steaks.
Did we survive eating both menus in a single day? Watch to find out if The Devonshire truly lives up to the massive hype!

Why are you using your fork like that? I thought you were better than that! Behave.
I'm so hungry watching Mark eat 😭
Indian 🇮🇳 fans 👍
Never paid a penny.
My son's good at to eating, he looks like sweet, juicy, spicy and deliciously dish as you
The fat on that lamb chop wasn't rendered down. Looked chewy. Well played Mark pretending is was the best thing he's ever eaten though. Consummate professional. Lol.
Guinness is oke but it is way overhyped. Depends on your taste of course but still..
You really need to learn how to use a fork when you are using a knife and fork. You don't hold the fork upright like that you hold it down and put the food onto the back of the fork, not use it like a spear. Americans stand out like a sore thumb when they eat in the uk.
Looks very good
sorry but u are boring.
Please hold the fork and knife properly. Fork with the left hand with index finger pressing and knife with the right hand. Never switch between hands.
Que pequeñas las langostas
Ingleses amigos de lo ajeno.Hasta de la cocina
I love eating and watching make weins
The lobsters are oversized prawns? Getting like Asia. Where are the guidelines?
Hi 👋 Mark Weins Hi guyyyyyyyyyyy Hi that old raw looking 👀 meat you eaten is too red and half done those steaks. I don’t see how you eat that raw meat like that It don’t look 👀 tasty to me. Looks like you will eat anything that is raw or not I’m just saying.😮🤔🙄🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
The Brits love a Irish beer.
I am LOVING this UK series. Hope you visit Scotland and Ireland next??
I'd gladly stand in line for however long it takes for that Sunday Roast.🤤
Love your content!!!!
Is there anything like an English pub in the states that serves a Sunday roast
The internet remains undefeated. Where else can you find this level of random peak comedy in a single video?
Just imagine the final bill for all that food.
The people standing outside aren't 'waiting in line'. They are just enjoying their drink outside. You'll see it all over London.
Love all your shows. Am Italian-American and every Sunday after macaroni came the roast beef, leg of lamb, roast pork and chicken. Sadly all have passed by I continue the tradition with my son who is of Egyptian, Italian, American descent. Bravo, my friend! Cheers!
Holy shiite, I'm proud of you, you used the word jus correctly, you didn't say….some of the AU jus.
Now, work on the word, creamy.
Why do Americans use their cutlery like savages 😂 and why do they keep interchanging their fork & knife
This has to be an old clip. Winter jacket in July? European heat wave? Gotta be old.
I would love to have this experience!!
This is the "Best #MeatSweata Show of the Year." [And], book a flight to London, just, for the Suet Pudding. This episode is #a_food_destination for sure. Then washing it down with Guinness—-pre-Sticky Toffee Pudding—-That's "The Move."
A pork chop is not supposed to be pink! Smh
Suet Pudding the British version of enchiladas ❤
I miss the street food buddy
Mark must have gotten paid
What a great place the food looks amazing
@chudsbbq please make your version of the beef cheek pudding!
the puddin' looks more like a shepards pie… just on a minnie taste
Outstanding!! Are you kidding me!! My mother is a survivor of the bombing of London. She was a horrorible cook. I became a chef cause I grew up with bad cooking
Nope.
Gotta travel away from London , to get a proper Sunday roast mate.
I want to say blasphemy … but it’s unfair to the pub.
But seriously… go find a proper pub off the beaten track , and get a Sunday carvery, or go to somebody’s house for a Sunday dinner.
Then you’ll know
I thought British food was terrible 🤣.
I love Sunday Roast. I wish restaurants in Boston offered them too, it’s such a nice tradition.
Mark you didn't split the Gʻ when drinking guinnis
