My wife and I are both chefs and try to avoid the disappointment of chefs trying too hard without the basic skills. Trinity stands out as one of our truly memorable meals. As a former Michelin star winner myself it is sometimes hard not to find fault however in this case flawless. First class on all levels

It was perfect from start to finish. The food is flavourful, original yet classic and delicious. The restaurant is beautifully lighted, the noise is surprisingly low for such a wide space, and a special thank you to our waiter James who was lovely, gave us good advice and a special treat for my mum’s birthday. It’s a truly special place !
