Priding ourselves on our motto ‘Famous for fish’ Smiths Restaurants is a name that has become synonymous with fine dining and quality, attentive service. Our restaurants are located in Ongar Essex (just off the A414) and Wapping in central London (near Tower Bridge). Both restaurants boast an extensive menu of fresh fish that we offer to cook in a variety of ways to suit every palette. We also offer locally sourced meat dishes to accommodate those who prefer their food terra firma. To compliment the quality of our food we have worked closely with well renowned independent wine merchants to ensure we have a selection of wines that are the perfect accompaniment to every meal. The only problem you may have a Smith’s is being spoilt for choice.

    Went to the set lunch lunch today. It was lovely. Food was very nice. I had the prawn cocktail and my friend had the fish goujons for starters which were lovely and I had the sea bass and my friend had the skate for mains. Both dishes were delicious and the service was great. I would recommend

    The food and the waitress service was very good but when the bill came we were over charged so we sent the bill back and the same bill returned. I did feel sorry for the waitress and she got someone else to bring our 3rd bill over which was correct, do always check your bill.
