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!

    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 booked in advance and glad we did as it was busy for a Monday evening in February. Staff members were all very efficient and friendly and although the menu is relatively limited, the food was really delicious. We would definitely visit again.
