Smith’s Bar & Grill is nestled in Paddington, 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.

    I saw this brunch advertised on Instagram and was looking for somewhere to celebrate my friends 50th birthday and so booked the brunch . I have to say the atmosphere on the Insta post was not exactly the experience we received. When we arrived the hosts were lovely and gave us a very warm welcome and we were shown to our table . I have been to many bottomless brunches and this was just average which was a shame . Some of the waiters (which it was odd were all male!) were quite miserable. I was shocked that you had to stick to the same drink as at other brunches you can chop and change. The food was very average as well . Overall I don’t think I would book this brunch again .

While we’re glad to hear that our hosts made you feel welcomed upon arrival, we apologise that the atmosphere and service did not reflect the experience you saw on Instagram. Regarding the drink policy, we understand that flexibility is important, and we apologise if this wasn't clearly communicated when you booked with us. We are continuously looking for ways to improve, and your feedback helps us do just that. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future to provide the brunch experience you were looking for. Many thanks EM

    Described as a bar and grill but actually a gem of find- lovely restaurant with a beautiful interior. Food was so good and service was incredible- which was surprising since it’s London.

    Really poor experience at Smiths Bar & Grill. Me and my colleague took a client with us for breakfast. It was only us in the restaurant and we were sat in the corner which is fine. However, we were completely forgotten about, the service was appalling. We had to get up and go to the bar to order, which is highly embarrassing when we have a client with us. The food took extremely long to come out and having to go up a couple of times to even order a coffee ruined the experience. I will not be returning to Smiths Bar & Grill - previous time we visited the food took so long that the client had to leave before it arrived. I do not recommend this establishment.
    Smith's Bar & GrillResponded on September 6, 2024
    Dear James, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear about your experience. This certainly does not reflect the high standards of service we aim to provide. We are sorry to hear about the lack of attention you received and the delays in both your food and drink orders. Please be assured that your comments have been shared with our team, and we are taking immediate steps to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you once again for your feedback, and I hope we have the chance to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, EM

    We did the bottomless dinner last night (friday), £50 for bottomless food and drink. It is a lovely place, nice atmosphere and the food we had was excellent and very tasty. Well worth the £50 and will certainly be going back in the near future. Would certainly recommend.

    Dear Sarah, Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our bottomless dinner experience and found it to be great value for money.

Your recommendation means a lot to us! Warm regards, EM

    The salads and Steaks were very tasty, with the only fault the knives were not really sharp so cutting the succulent steaks was not the easiest

    Excellent service and great experience. We just wished the food was a bit better in terms of the steaks but looking forward to trying it again once they improve their steaks. Paying £110 for a steak should mean that it is amazing.
    Smith's Bar & GrillResponded on August 23, 2024
    Dear Tomas, Thank you for your feedback and for the compliments on our service. We appreciate your honest thoughts about the steaks and understand your expectations. We're always striving to improve, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us do so. We hope to impress you with an even better experience next time. Thank you for giving us the opportunity, and we look forward to welcoming you back! Many thanks EM
