About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
Smith’s Bar & Grill is nestled in Paddington, Central London, it is the first place you see when you walk under the bypass behind Paddington Station.

Known for its high ceilings and almost full-length windows, the natural light in Smith’s is just as nourishing and wholesome as the comfortable furnishings and exquisite selection of food and drink that we serve.

The venue is split into the areas:
• Main Restaurant
• Main Bar & Lounge Area
• Outdoor Terrace Canal-side


Smith’s is an ideal venue for weddings, on-location filming, major launch events, and multi-stage music and entertainment events.
The whole venue can comfortably accommodate up to 200 people for a sit-down dinner and up to 400 standing. Its proximity to Paddington Station (50 yards from the Hammersmith & City Underground entrance) makes it quick to get to for those coming from out of town.

    Not the restaurants fault, but very below par in the toilets. The restaurant itself has all the right components and a good menu, but definitely room for improvement on the execution..:

    This was an amazing visit. Food was amazing. We had to try this amazing brunch and i can say is one if the best i have ever been, great music and great fun. We went on a recommendation of family who live in London and this didn’t disappoint. We had to book as was suggested, which we would recommend to all as it is always busy. Service was excellent, smiles and chat throughout the lunch. This was high end food & enteirteinment as well. Puddings are all fresh and very much recommended! A great visit!

    Absolutely superb food. Great presentation and very attentive staff. The menu is great and all our courses were of the highest quality, but the best was the oysters offer at £1, best deal in Central London. I can highly recommend!

    This place is awesome! I was looking for somewhere that wasn’t the same usual food and boy did these guys deliver. We managed to book a table for two. Service, presentation and taste were perfection. Best calamari I’ve ever had and already rebooked for next Tuesday, my birthday with friends and this time i really want to try the truffle pasta and some nice champagne! Can’t wait!
