Smith’s Bar & Grill is a modern British restaurant at 25 Sheldon Square in Paddington Central. Set above the Grand Union Canal and close to Paddington Station, it combines waterside views with a polished but accessible dining room for business meals and social occasions.
Steaks are central to the kitchen, with dry aged cuts cooked over fire for a deeper grilled character. The wider menu brings a modern British approach to lunch and dinner, while breakfast service gives commuters, hotel guests and local workers another reason to visit earlier in the day.
Sunday roast provides a traditional weekend focus, and a tasting menu offers a more extended experience. Weekend brunch has a livelier pace, while cocktails at the bar work for guests who want drinks before dinner or a social visit without a full meal.
The location suits business lunches, celebration dinners and group events, with private dining options available for larger occasions. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should review the current menu and discuss ingredients and preparation with the restaurant before ordering.
Address: 25 Sheldon Square, Paddington Central, London W2 6EY, England
