De Hems Dutch Cafe Bar is a historic Soho pub on Macclesfield Street at the edge of Chinatown. Once a meeting place for Dutch sailors and later associated with the Dutch resistance during the Second World War, it preserves a distinctive Benelux identity in central London.
The food menu combines pub classics with seasonal dishes, sandwiches, burgers and lighter choices. Vegetarian and vegan options give mixed groups more flexibility, while sharing menus and buffets can support larger gatherings and informal celebrations.
Dutch and Belgian beer are central to the drinks selection, joined by familiar draught choices, wine, spirits and cocktails. The range encourages guests to compare different brewing styles, from refreshing lagers and wheat beers to richer dark and fruit influenced bottles.
Sports screens and a lively bar atmosphere bring extra energy to major fixtures, while quieter daytime service suits lunch or a relaxed drink. Its location between Soho and Chinatown makes De Hems a convenient meeting place before dinner, a performance or an evening elsewhere in the West End.
Address: 11 Macclesfield Street, Soho, London W1D 5BW, United Kingdom
