The Smith on High Street is function venue and a local favourite and is back after a short hiatus where the entire joint was pulled apart and put together again. What’s new? The fit out, with art covered walls and a retracting glass roof. The menu, with a new Asian spin. And the vibes, which is now all about fun and a bit of light hearted mischief.
The Smith has two function rooms which can be completely booked out for a sit down dinner and when you’re all done – the crew can head downstairs for more antics.
