Smith’s of Smithfield, an iconic 800-capacity bar and restaurant spread over four floors has been sympathetically renovated by Harrison, designed to offer a different experience on each level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smiths, the casual all-day caf\u00e9 and bar, occupies a contemporary and industrial space on the ground floor, serving all-day brunch, sharing plates and pub classics alongside healthy, vegan and vegetarian dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The drinks list features London distilled spirits, craft beers and cask ales, and cocktails alongside a wine list that includes accessible varieties and a \u2018Sommelier\u2019s Selection\u2019, with many available by the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cocktail bar Death + Victory on the first floor takes its name from the plaque laid in Smithfields to honour historic figure William Wallace, who was executed in Smithfield in 1305. Harrison were responsible for developing all the shopfront, lift & stairwell vinyl\u2019s for this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The interior is inspired by the rich history of the local area while the cocktail list is divided into different time periods, from 1150 to present day, and take cues from famous historical events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The third floor houses the Grill, taking its cue from the Smithfield meat market, which has been in operation since medieval times. It will serve locally sourced prime cuts alongside day boat fish while the drinks list will highlight the wines and lagers that are best paired with the food. A 12-seat chef\u2019s table will offer diners a view of butchery in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The top floor features an all-season rooftop terrace and 100-cover destination restaurant dubbed No3 at Smiths. Liam Walsh has been named head chef of the modern British restaurant that aims to champion seasonality and provenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sample dishes include 28 day-aged Scotch beef Wellington to share, roasted halibut, Dorset crab, Markham Farm asparagus and a slow-roasted shoulder of Hampshire lamb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
