The back garden looks like a great spot for the summer to hide away from the common.

This is a decent juicer, decent range of beers.

Huge space with a very large beer garden in the back (although way too cold to make use of it last night). The former was very quiet, the latter very busy and therefore very noisy. Although I could be totally wrong on the health front.

The food is also good, a nice choice of standard gastro pub fayre and they have a great barbecue in the summer. We have had some time to investigate your visit on Friday...More.

Team Dev x, Came in at 5pm on a Friday to an empty pub, table service only, both sat there for 20mins and left empty handed. A great summer pub.

Sorry.

On a sunny day (or night), if you find yourself down near Clapham South/Balham, I would definitely recommend The Devonshire! This pub has changed a little from my last visit to say the least. Team Dev x, We came for a few drinks on a Monday night after visiting Haymans’s hun distillery just around the corner. This pub has a nice feel to it - it's relaxed, good crowd, friendly bar staff and really decent food. The to top it off my fiance was given the wrong meal (he ordered beef roast, he got lamb) and the food was not that great given the prices they charge. The dining room is not my cup of tea but I'm sure it will attract the customers they are after. Let us keep in touch & we’ll send you a voucher for a drink on us.

Thanks for making us feel special, ask for Brogan and he’ll help you out! Thanks for the fab 5 stars and awesome review. Went here in 2009 when I was heavily pregnant and once we had sat down we were asked to move as we were in the 'dining' area, even though we were ordering food! It definitely gives you confidence in the food. Book your turf now, we’re filling up fast. But in my opinion it's a bit over the top--maybe simplifying the number of patterns and materials would help.

This pub is one of many great balham hang-outs, and being centrally located, I'm there a lot. Visited the Devonshire for the first time last night. I have been to have dinner here twice. I will pass on your kind words to Modupe who will love them. Hey Rupert, The reason it doesn't get a fifth star is because it's far too fancy for a pub, and should really just make itself into a restaurant and be done. which boasts very comfortable and numerous leather seating. Having seen the reviews on other sites I was hesitant but I actually like it. The sun was out so I enjoyed there vast beer garden this weekend!

They've removed the "Duke Of"... along with their soul. As I walked through the doors of this Victorian pub/restaurant, I was surprised by the size of it (from the front it's not obvious that the inside goes back so far). They've removed the "Duke Of"... along with their soul.

Awful. Hey Ria,

I like thinking I ought to be wearing a top hat and a waistcoat and playing with my moustache. There is a very large garden area which boasts a huge outdoor grill for barbequed food nights and many outdoor heaters.

The cavernous interior is smart and inviting. This Pub is now called 'The Devonshire', and is one of my favourite bars in Balham. They've done a great job with the covid-secure garden. Despite this being a Saturday evening, we were able to secure a couple of tables for our fairly large group and settled in in comfort to get our drink on.It's a pub and we didn't try the food (although what we saw go past us from the open kitchen looked mouthwatering) so not much else to say.Would like to add that the staff weren't friendly (they weren't unfriendly...just meh) and the manager refused our request to turn the music down a bit so we could sing happy birthday but I suppose in hindsight that's not a big deal.I'll go back, I liked the place and it's close to things out in Balham.

Don’t worry, we’ll keep the cheese fondue & cocktails flowing! #cosypubgarden https://t.co/qHJ02wKWLu, If Friday had a face. This is a great pub, love the decor inside and there's a beer garden at the back. The starters were such a rip-off (a fiver for thai fishcakes which were tiny and you got just 3) and the aioli dip to go with the prawns had no flavour at all and was actually inedible. devonshirebalham, General Manager at The Devonshire, responded to this review Responded 4 days ago Hey Lucia, Thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts, we're glad to hear that you had a great time with us on Sunday and that you were looked after on Friday night. So we found an uncomfortable bar bench (which was 'so' ideal for an 8month pregnant woman!). Good decor/atmosphere, reasonably priced drinks, disinterested barstaffWe started a night out here for a birthday party and quickly got into the drinks which were served rapidly and poured well. It's well finished with leather booths, engraved mirrors, chandeliers, carved wood, and stainless steel finishes. Such amazing service.

We came to the Devonshire on a Friday afternoon and Brogan was our waiter.

The food was amazing and Kobey was a fantastic host, particularly as we were running short on time. @thedevbalham have turned on the autumn charm in their newly-transformed Amber Garden.

As I walked through the doors of this Victorian pub/restaurant, I was surprised by the size of it (from the front it's not obvious that the inside goes back so far). The Pimms cups are amazing and enormous so you won't leave walking upright. Does this restaurant offer table service? So glad to hear you had a fab time and some fab espresso martinis... Our fave! Sadly, we’re fully booked today and tomorrow outside but we have plenty space left throughout the week. Very large with a superb beer garden at the rear. Registered in England & Wales Company No. Can a gluten free person get a good meal at this restaurant? The food is at the top of the pub scale--it's fresh and hearty and seems a little healthier than most. Too expensive for SE London.

The character of Boycie in Only Fools and Horses was inspired by a previous Devonshire landlord and snooker legend Jimmy White began his career at the pub’s tables.
