Smith's

★ 5.0 / 5 (47 reviews)

At Smith's, we cut through the pretentious clamor of the culinary world and deliver something refreshingly straightforward. We’re tired of the clutter of ostentation and so-called fine dining that bombards our senses with artful presentations and exorbitant prices. Here, we believe that food should be about genuine flavors and shared experiences, not an exercise in elitism. Join us for supper from our communal dining table every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, where good food and good company reign supreme. Leave your dietary preferences at the door, because our approach is as uncomplicated as it gets: what we cook is what you get. For just £12, you’ll enjoy a hearty main course, sourced primarily from our neighbors on Magdalen Road. It’s all about robust flavors, not fat-free fads or vegetarian alternatives. As for the drinks, we don’t skimp. Our wine selections are paired thoughtfully with each dish, offering three options at varying price points. Whether you choose a cheeky glass of our house red at just £2.50 or indulge in something more extravagant starting at £7.50, there's something for every palate. And if you’re lucky, I might whip up a pudding, but if time doesn’t allow, we promise a delightful cheese board instead. Pair it with dessert wine or port for an additional £7.50, because a meal without a little indulgence isn’t really a meal at all. So leave behind the worries of dietary restrictions and pretentiousness, and come to Smith's where you’ll find hearty dishes, good wine, and the warmth of shared dining. No frills, just real food and real people.

I took my boyfriend here for dinner from recommendation. And so glad I did. First of all the grounds were beautiful and so was bovey castle. Staff were welcoming. Food was lovely and enough on plate. Glad we dressed up (although didn't have to) but...thought nice too as it was a beautiful place. We stayed on for cocktails and drinks (although very pricey). We were lucky enough to get a night porter to take us back in a very nice land river as no taxi available. Would love to come back

Had a great night here with old friends. Was served up some seriously good roast pork with an excellent wine selection at your fingertips. Highly recommend.

Iain Smith is an excellent fellow, a wonderful host, He knows his wines, he cooks a mean roast. Great food, great wine, what’s there to lose, His anecdotes are lively and sure to amuse. Bring all your friends, book up an evening, You’ll learn about...wine and leave with a grin. I’ve been many times, I’ve never left sober, I think I’ll go again, over and over.
