About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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!

    Every time I eat here it’s nothing short of great. The service is always friendly. I didn’t catch the name of the young man who waited our table but Eloise was great fun as always and the owner, Seb, is a gent! Food is first class. You will not find a better burger in my honest opinion.

    Food was fantastic but unfortunately they had no fries and the food took a long time (an hour) to arrive.

    Incredibly slow service - waiting over an hour for food. Food we ordered wasn’t available and they didn’t have fries …. So a “burger joint”, with a very limited menu that ran out of fries!!!!

    The food was lovely and would highly recommend. The service was really bad- it took nearly 20 minutes and us asking to actually order just drinks. We had 4 different waiters and for 1 drink and 1 main we were there for 2 hours for 4 people. We did order dessert, however cancelled that and got the bill otherwise it would have been. 2.5hrs service!

    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.
