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.

    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!

    Nice atmosphere, nicely styled and has a good aesthetic. Bit of initial confusion around the bottomless food and then bottomless drinks, advised us we all had to do the same (and had to check with the manager it was OK for me not to do the bottomless drinks, despite me being visibly heavily pregnant). The girls all got the bottomless drinks, and we all got bottomless food. Drinks option could be improved if they offered a beer as well as wine, fizz and a cocktail. Were generous enough but not over the top. Limited non-alcoholic options, a non-alco fizz would of been great. Bottomless roast is 2 starters, a roast, then pudding. Starters ordered, eaten and table cleared, then roasts ordered. The gap was quite long between starters and roast, was OK as two starters is a lot. Them we hadn't finished our mains and they told us we had 10 minutes left on the bottomless, so needed to order dessert. Maybe should take all orders at the start, cut the gap between starters and mains so we didn't need to order pudding whilst still eating. Food was overall OK, nothing amazing but certainly no complaints. If they got a bit more organised, would be an overall more seemless experience.
