Smiths was born in the heart of the pandemic, founded by brothers Theo and Sebastian with one goal in mind: to bring bold, unforgettable flavour to the Cotswolds. Nestled in the postcard-perfect village of Bourton-on-the-Water. Affectionately known as the Venice of the Cotswolds—we’ve carved out a name for ourselves with gourmet burgers that pack a punch.2025 marked a major milestone as we proudly took 3rd place at the National Burger Awards—a nod to the passion, graft, and flavour-forward thinking we put into every bite.Our intimate 30-seat restaurant offers a stripped-back, honest dining experience, where quality is king. We’ve partnered with award-winning butchers Aubrey Allen to source dry-aged beef with just the right fat ratio. Combined with our punchy flavour pairings, every burger delivers serious impact. The buns? Handmade fresh each morning by Marks Cotswold Bakery, using locally milled Cotswold flour from regional farmers. Every element tells a story—and it starts here.
Smokinly Good BBQ is a family-run, authentic Texas-style barbecue restaurant. We follow the traditional Texas approach to smoking meat low and slow - so expect brisket, sticky ribs, pork belly burnt ends and pulled pork. You’ll also find BBQ platters and family feasts, big no-nonsense burgers, and loaded tater tots. We’ve even got a dedicated bar serving local craft beer and cider. Everyone’s welcome - whether you’re booking a table for a casual meal or bringing friends for a feast, you’ll find bold BBQ flavours, generous portions and a proper welcome.
