About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood 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.

    Eaten twice here so far and looking forward to a return visit. This time we had the bottomless sunday roast, what a great idea for a Sunday treat, all very tasty and beautifully presented. Service and prices all very good.

    Wow ! Just Wow !! What a fantastic little piece of hidden gem. It looks superb from the walkway but the inside is even more with dj music which is fantastic and incredibly inclusive. We had folk from all nationalities and it was a superb experience which I’m sure we’ll all remember for a long time. The service is amazing. A lot could be learned from them as to how to do service properly and effectively. The food is cooked fresh…. Overall a gem of a place late afternoon and into the evening.

    I am a resident of Paddington but my Son and grand children are currently visiting the area . I would like to write this review to state how wonderful the staff are here. My 1 year old Grand daughter chose to run riot all over the place but the staff were amazing with both my Grand daughters and made sure both children and my Son were looked after in a professional way . I would highly recommend for any families with or without children to try the food and drink out in this restaurant as you will be very well looked after . Well done Smith’s.

    Booked a table for brunch this morning at 0930. Confirmed booking two days ago as requested. Turned up this morning and restaurant was tight shut. No staff visible,no message to explain. Complete waste of time. No wonder restaurants fail.

    I we go to the Smith’s bar & grill on a regular basis and it's about time I turn around and tell the world what a wonderful gem this place is, there's always a warm welcome from the start and first class food, my best reccomendations would be the ribs and the steak, for me its just perfection. Do yourself a favor and book it!

    Booked due to Monday offer of beef brisket for 2 for £40 only to be told not on due to lack of others participating. Also 50% off wine not valid due to us not having the above offer. We stayed due to need to eat for later plans but an expected £80 meal turned into £220. Disappointing & feel scammed

    Horrible food, atrocious service and a "bottomless" scam. Waited forever for bland stale potatoes, poorly cooked unseasoned chicken and a cold chocolate fondant. Nothing was fresh, nothing was good. Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else.
