Nice pub for a drink, great couches etc but food was very overpriced and wasn't all that tasty.
I have lived in Balham for 2 years and would say that the Devonshire is is the best pub in Balham. Great combination of old pub style with modern feel. Don't know the managers not sure about the negative comments on that front. Lovely beer garden and always had great food here. Highly recommended.
this place is ok but not as good as the Avalon just up the road for me...
Recently went to the Devonshire in Balham with my boyfriend and a couple of friends, and I'm sad to say we were incredibly disappointed -
we were expecting great things after reading the reviews on this site.
The food was uninspiring and overpriced and the whole place was lacking in atmosphere - it's definitely style over substance in terms of the new layout and decor. Shame.
The lowest point was the attitude of the manager who served me at the bar though - he was smug, unpleasant and sarcastic, not exactly the welcoming attitude you'd expect. We won't be going back.
Expensive pub food, over-priced drinks...
Loved it!! Great BBQ in the HUGE garden!! Will be back soon!...
The Duke of Devonshire has a lovely beer garden on a hot summer's day, just make sure to check all the mint leaves in your jug of Pimms as they might have insect eggs attached to them...! When pointing this out to the manager the only response I got was 'they're dead love, we zapped them in the microwave, you're not getting a free jug'. However, after spending over £100 there in an afternoon my health was of more concern then a freebie.
The Duke of Devonshire has lovely staff, not so sure about the rude manager though!
