The Soho gastropub is one of\u00a0the hardest spots in London to reserve a table at.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve still never managed to secure a table at the Devonshire, here\u2019s some good news. In September, the popular\u00a0Denman Street pub announced that its much-praised restaurant expanded, adding up to 90 more covers through private rooms.<\/p>\n<p>The three dining rooms cater to 25, 26 or 35 guests and have been built in the adjacent building on Sherwood Street. The private spaces are accessed by a separate entrance \u2013 a gloss-painted green timber shopfront \u2013 which leads to a lobby featuring black and white marble mosaic.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s even a one-way mirror in the lobby, allowing guests a look in at the pub from behind the bar. So while your celeb spotting dreams may be dashed, take comfort that Nigella Lawson could be watching you sink pints from afar at any moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spread across two storeys, the rooms have been designed by interior\u00a0designers\u00a0Macaulay Sinclair. There\u2019s three-tiered amber glass chandeliers and vintage bentwood chairs. On the fourth floor is the \u2018Bowie Room\u2019 with rich red walls and globe pendants, pictured below.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"74e0e1dd-6cb0-55ab-47e7-9750bca58323\" class=\"photo lazy inline\" loading=\"lazy\" data-component=\"lazy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image.webp.webp\" alt=\"The Devonshire new dining room\" data-caption=\"\" data-credit=\"Photograph: Macaulay Sinclair\" data-width-class=\"\" data-image-id=\"106326279\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\nPhotograph: Macaulay Sinclair&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Ois\u00edn Rogers, pub landlord and co-founder at The Devonshire, said: \u2018These rooms are about having spaces where guests who need privacy can feel comfortable, safe, happy and well looked after \u2013 that same sense of timeless quality and generosity \u2013 just in more intimate spaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We want people to feel like they\u2019ve discovered something special, while still being properly looked after and leaving us with great memories.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Ian Roome, director at Macaulay Sinclair, said: \u2018With such an iconic, historic building, we wanted to ensure that the new space would reflect the building\u2019s history, as well as the critically acclaimed food offering and truly British atmosphere that it has become revered for.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did you see that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/news\/polo-ralph-lauren-is-opening-an-official-bar-in-london-100225\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polo Ralph Lauren is opening an official bar in London<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Plus: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/news\/a-brand-new-pub-will-open-in-a-historic-west-london-building-this-month-100125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the King\u2019s Road is getting its first new pub in 100 years<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>G<\/strong><strong>et the latest and greatest from the Big Smoke \u2013 from news and reviews to events and trends.
