Neighbourhood gem

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.

All good, great food, service, value and atmosphere. Not sure what’s going on with the service charge. It was included which is fine but then they ask you for additional service charge and claim the included portion is not shared with them and only for the bar staff? Doesn’t sound legit. Pls check and clarify.

I read multiple "poor" and "terrible" reviews on TripAdvisor that I almost cancelled my reservation. I am so delighted that I proceeded undeterred. My two dinner guests and I had a fabulous time. Great, attentive service by management and staff of many different nations. No request was too much with the food and drinks orders. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals: I am of a disposition where I have little or no interest in photographing a meal serving plate, so no visual evidence. I would not hesitate to return to Smith's Bar & Grill. Yes, the toilets are clean too.

Been here numerous times over the last few years and we are never disappointed. Staff and managers are very friendly and helpful and the a la carte menu and set menu is always both varied and appetising. Although a british cuisine the food choices are multicultural and delicious. Never had a bad meal and look forward to every culinary experience. During the day it makes a great place for breakfast which is exceptional around here in Paddington whilst lunch is also a class apart from the usual fare. Recommend it highly!

We went to Smith’s for dinner. There was 4 of us & we all ordered something different, & wow, every meal was cooked to perfection., with delicious scallops & seabass fillet. The managers & staff can’t do enough for you, nothing is a problem. We would all highly recommend this little gem, & we can’t wait to return ❤️
