Balfour at St Barts is a London pub, restaurant and event venue at 66 West Smithfield, overlooking Smithfield Market near Farringdon. Its identity is closely connected to Balfour Winery in Kent, placing English wine at the heart of an otherwise relaxed City dining experience.
The food follows a smokehouse theme, with tender smoked meats and burgers designed to carry deep, savoury flavours. The menu is substantial enough for lunch or dinner rather than simply accompanying drinks, while its informal format also allows guests to order more selectively during a visit to the bar.
Balfour’s own English wines can be explored through seasonal tasting flights or chosen with guidance from the team. Craft beer, spirits and cocktails provide alternatives, making the drinks list useful for groups whose interests extend beyond wine.
The venue opens its public bar and kitchen from Monday to Friday, with weekends reserved for private events. Flexible rooms and views towards the market make it suitable for work lunches and after work gatherings as well as larger celebrations, weddings and corporate occasions.
