The story

No.3 Rooftop at Smiths of Smithfield, London | Fine Seafood Dining

A Seafood Focused Kitchen Above the City

Head Chef Stan Marshman directs the seafood cuisine program at No.3 Rooftop at ‘Smiths’ of Smithfield, London. His menu turns the proximity to historic Smithfield Market into a daily advantage for sourcing fresh catches and seasonal British produce. The precision behind these plates earned the venue a 1 AA Rosette for culinary excellence. Guests navigate a carefully structured progression that balances raw preparations with cooked classics.

Signature Plates and Market Fresh Catches

The autumn set menu highlights become clear upon closer inspection. Seared Orkney scallops arrive with strawberry ponzu and trout roe, while tempura samphire rests quietly beside a bright yuzu mayo. Raw courses feature gurnard tartare dressed in elderflower vinegar alongside Torched Cornish mackerel and pickled tomatoes. This approach to seafood cuisine prioritises ingredient purity over complex techniques.

Terrace Views and Flexible Dining Spaces

An outdoor heated terrace wraps around the upper level, offering unobstructed sightlines across the capital during summer evenings. Inside, polished tables and quiet acoustics create a refined backdrop for business meetings or weekend celebrations. Two adjacent private rooms on the first floor merge easily for larger gatherings, while the dedicated kitchen ensures service remains swift regardless of group size. The layout encourages guests to linger over wine pairings before stepping back out onto the balcony.
