Theo & Sebastian who are brothers, started Smiths in the middle of a pandemic! We are seriously passionate about patties and are based in Bourton-On-The-water, also known as ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’. Our restaurant sits circa 30 guests making it a small, exclusive place to come and eat. Since opening, we have made it our mission to get our hands on the best possible ingredients. We also use dry aged beef with a great fat content supplied by Aubrey Allen, which marries up with our strong, unique flavour combinations giving you the ultimate bite! We cant forget about or delightful buns, which are handmade daily by a wonderful local baker. All the flour used for our buns is made up of Cotswold flour sourced from local farmers.

We also pride ourselves on having a vibrant cocktail scene. All of our cocktails are bespoke to us and our syrups and flavourings are made in house!

    Made to feel welcome from the start. Great service and the food was excellent. They know how to create a burger that’s for sure. There burgers are not the average gastro pub fair. We took along a friend that doesn’t eat burgers and only came along because it was for a birthday. She was very impressed and converted to the burger side. I only hope she realises they are not all as good as a Smith burgers. You will not leave hungry I promise.

    The food was great! The wait time was very long and the waiters seemed confused at times. Stronger communication within staff and quicker food service would help the experience here.

    Best burger we have both ever had, truffle and Parmesan fries are a must. Servers very knowledgeable and attentive. Will definitely be back. Book ahead to avoid disappointment, we went on a Monday and it was full.

    The burgers were great and love the story behind the business. We booked a table for 19:30 on a Saturday so a busy time and as you would expect with a quality restaurant the food took a little while to arrive. Nothing bad or excessive and we were chatting and enjoying the ambiance. However by the time we had eaten the burgers, which wasn’t actually long as we were very hungry, we were told when we asked for the dessert menu that we were out of time and had to leave. This left a bit of a poor end to our overall experience.

    Lovely place friendly staff but the service was very patchy and slow. The food was tasty but very expensive and the cocktails are also very nice but ridiculously expensive. Overall very nice but way over priced

    We came to Smith’s based on reviews I had seen. The burger was even better than we imagined! The lady who served us was brilliant too. Definitely one to try! 😍
