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.

    Beautiful and tasty food! The way they serve their plates is impeccable. I work at a office across the road and they always make us feel like family and the food is always top notch even in their busy schedule. Now they are doing oyster happy hour which is a super great idea. friendly staff and amazing experience☺️

    this restaurant produces modern, eclectic European cuisine at a great price. Aubergine parmigiana & beef tartare starter & also the calamari were superb. Lamb, sea bass & steak also excellent. All served in a friendly but professional manner. A great restaurant, presumably with a great kitchen, so booking is essential and a must.

    This place is such a hidden gem...easily top 10 in London! Fantastic food, brilliant service and attention to detail - a credit to the staff and owners. Visited on a busy Day and the food was just amazing - calamari, risotto seafood, perfect lamb chops and fillet steak followed by a great cheese board.

    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!
