  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Lively
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.

    Wow if you want a good food and fantastic, warm, friendly service go to Smith's ! Can’t recommend it enough! Fabrizio who looked after us was lovely! We have now found a good restaurant spot! They have real well cooked steaks which is so hard to get in this side of London, and my wife truffle pasta was incredible! Also recommend their amazing cocktails, thank you smith's bar & grill!

    Had previously visited this place for food years ago. Close to where we stayed in Kensington came here on Monday night for food and few drinks. We met Alfredo who took us to find tables for our party (there was a few of us) the food was fab, the cocktails & drinks were good and the price was extremely reasonable. The staff were great too- our waiter was lovely and always checking if we needed anything.Great decor. Defo recommend and will come back

    It was our wedding anniversary. We booked in advance which you must as it do gets very busy. We were in the Paddington area an hour before our 8.45 booking so we told them as we passed and they did call us as soon as a table was free. Which was a nice gesture from them. Then we were also given a glass of bubbly each and we felt very special. One of the other guests also bought us a drink as he’d noticed the fuss and it was just wonderful. We were very well taken care of by 2 people in particular. Alfredo and Fabrizio were brilliant, attentive and so friendly. The food was also spectacular and all our dishes were amazing. Thank you so much for a beautiful evening. X

    Excellent restaurant and great value for money. Most people go to the posh ones but this is much better. Excellent service, excellent food at a good price. We booked it, tried it and loved it. Definitely the best truffle pasta in town and the calamari were perfectly cooked and crispy. Can't wait to be back!

We can’t wait to welcome you back soon. Thank you again for choosing us and for sharing such lovely feedback! Warm regards, EM
