About Smeaton Hotel

A proper country pub delivering hearty plates and frosty draught beer poured into iced pots. The kitchen dishes out massive parmas, thick steaks, and crisp fish—uncomplicated regional cooking backed by genuine warmth. Furry companions can lounge alongside tables in the dog-friendly beer garden facing the main street, while the bar skips soda guns to craft lemon lime and bitters with fresh citrus.

  • Iced Pots on Tap: Draught beer arrives with clean frothy heads in chilled, frosty glassware.
  • Hearty Country Portions: Generous chicken parmas, tender steaks, and classic pub staples served without delay.
  • Dog-Friendly Beer Garden: Outdoor seating welcomes pets with open views onto the town's main street.

  • Freshly Prepared Citrus Refreshments

    Custom bar service crafts lemon lime and bitters with fresh lemon and lime rather than commercial dispenser mix.
