About the restaurant

At Pythouse Kitchen Garden, you'll find an idyllic atmosphere in which to enjoy fantastic food. We offer covered outdoor seating in our glorious garden and indoor seating in the conservatory and potting shed. Pythouse Kitchen Garden is a lunchtime destination only at present.

Head chef Darren Broom's passion lies in producing food with an unmistakable sense of terroir. For Darren, provenance is not just the backstory to his ingredients, it’s everywhere in the look, feel and taste of his food.

We are keen to champion our own produce first and foremost, providing guests with a unique and ever-changing insight into the seasons. We work closely with the garden team to manage and maintain the garden and to deliver a programme of regeneration and sustainability.

About the restaurant

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!

First time experiencing Smiths, and it did not disappoint! The burger’s taste 10/10 and the truffle chips are probably the best I’ve tried.

Food excellent Was not able to book table at preferred time and on arrival the restaurant wasn’t even a quarter full. Attended for a birthday lunch and stated so on booking but this was never mentioned or acknowledged by staff. A nice “welcome I understand you celebrating a birthday” would have made my dad’s day. Very pleasant staff and lovely setting with spotless toilets. Slow drinks from order to arrival and ice added to a pint of cider which was strange! Steaks ordered but only after we had started eating were steak knives supplied. The food was lovely but attention to detail on service disappointing.

Excellent evening. Really nice food, superb service and great value for money. It was my daughter’s 9th birthday and they brought her ice-cream out with a candle in the top and the restaurant sang happy birthday to her. I didn’t ask for this to happen.

Booked a table for New Year’s Day with husband. I’m a lover of good food. Not fancy food, just good food. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was exceptional. The cook knows how to cook. I had just a simple fish and chips. This is a funny dish, sounds so basic yet easy to get wrong. The batter was light and crispy, the fish was fleshly and fresh tasting. The chips were skin on and perfect. Husband had a char grilled burger which he really liked. I highly recommend a visit. My only wish was that one of the fires had been lit but that is asking too much of staff on New Years Day. Maybe next time.
