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.

    Delicious food and incredible staff. Followed up with us to make sure our table of 11, including kids, was exactly what we needed. Couldn’t have had a better experience.

    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.
    Smith's Bar & GrillResponded 2 days ago
    Dear Adil, Thank you for your kind words about our food, service, value, and atmosphere! We truly appreciate your support. Regarding the service charge, we apologise for any confusion.

    We have eaten here many times and it never fails to amaze us. Quite a beautiful restaurant. We had the calamari and parmigiana which were delicious. We then opted for fillet steak which was cooked to perfection. Their wine list is excellent. Staff are attentive and friendly. No wonder it is very popular.

    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.

    Dear Howard, Thank you for giving us the chance despite the reviews you came across—we’re absolutely thrilled that you and your guests had such a fantastic experience! Providing great food and attentive service is what we strive for, and it’s wonderful to know we delivered on both. We truly appreciate your kind words and your vote of confidence in returning to Smith’s Bar & Grill. And yes, we’re glad you noticed—we take pride in keeping everything, including our facilities, spotless! Looking forward to welcoming you back soon. Many thanks EM
