category='Category'
A Yorkshire brewery that owns a chain of well-regarded pubs around London (and beyond). Often known as 'man-in-box' pubs due to their range of beers with distinctive tap handles.

== Drink ==

Samuel Smith's pubs stock a range of rather decent beers at incredibly low (for London) prices, making them very popular.

* The range includes some quite good German-style beers; the [[Ayingerbrau Lager]] (commonly ordered as "pint of man-in-box") is a perfectly reasonable example of the style, especially compared to most "continental lagers" sold in Britain. Alarmingly, the man seems to be on his way out - the beer is being quietly re-branded (or perhaps de-branded). [http://www.petitiononline.com/gr0k3/petition.html Fight the power!]
* The hefe weisse is a delicious summer drink, served in a distinctive tall glass.
* A range of interesting bottled beers are also available.

One striking quirk of Sam Smith's is that all the drinks - ''all'' the drinks - are own-brand. This is to be expected for draught beers, but is it rather more surprising to see own-brand versions (and they are essentially straight copies) of Newcastle Brown Ale, Coke and Southern Comfort!

== Food ==

Food at Samuel Smith's pubs is variable. See the individual entries for details.
