26 Smithfield

26 smithfield was an enjoyable evening with excellent service fantstic food reasonably priced drinks (especially noting its location) the staff was friendly and helpful and the night is one i shall be enjoying again. i understand the owner has employed a new manager and speaking to him he has some fantastic ideas to bring a fresh approach to the main bar . as i know the place for the past 18 months has had a fantastic business in corporate event and his ideas i hope will bring competition to the main bars around i hope they all succeed

I recently had the misfortune of attending an event at this venue. This venue has had no money spent on it in years, there are so many reviews on similar websites talking about how great it is and they all have the same spelling mistakes so I believe the owners have written them, why one happy punter would decide to post their glowing comment to ten websites i dont know! The toilet did not have a light bulb and was filthy (that was when we arrived), the staff where rude, the food was unimaginative (frozen) the smell inside was stale and off putting, there is no air conditioning in the private room, there is also only ONE toilet to service the private hire room. You can imagine what this was like with 80 people. I cannot tell you how bad this establishment is and can only advise you not to consider it for any event you may be planning. It is not fit for purpose.

Please Please Please, avoid this place. Dirty, unhealthy bargain sourced fried food, in the worst venue imaginable. I attended an event here a few months ago and could not believe a venue like this still exists in 2011. It is like something from Bodrum in the 80's. The venue hire room has only 1 dirty toilet for all the guests. Everything in this venue screams cheap. Avoid like the plague... There are so many better places than this. Please do a little more research before you consider it.

Spent time here over the Christmas break, but I must say NOT AGAIN! Was very poorly managed, food ok, but over expensive and rude staff.

Went here on the opening with friends as recently opened after refurbs. fantastic surroundings and really friendly staff.

There is a new chef and the food was fantastic. We went for the 2 course lunch and at £7.90 was amazed at the selection, portions and quality of the food. great variety selection of food.

There is a heated roof terrace where they have BBQs and the views overlooking smithfields is awesome.

its a great atmosphere and everyone very friendly.

Very reasonable prices and looking forward to the evening entertainment. Would definitely recommend.
