  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
Almost three years on from its culinary christening, Upstairs has sparked a reputation for casual dining in its finest form. A self-contained dining space, Upstairs offers guests a selection of small plates from our daily-changing menu, all of which are cooked to order from an open island kitchen and designed to share.

As well as being available for reservations and exclusive hires, Upstairs proudly plays host to a variety of exciting events and special evenings for our guests to enjoy; from expertly-led wine masterclasses to convivial Sunday lunches.

Our aim has always been to offer our guests the opportunity to get closer to the cooking process than ever before, and with the unfaltering passion and dedication of our team, a recently (and very proudly) received Bib Gourmand Award, and the continued support of our wonderful guests, we truly see nowhere to go but up.

    This was one of Trinity's seasonal "Wine Dinners", in which Adam Byatt and his stellar team provide a tasting menu, accompanied by well-chosen guest wines. This is not like your standard restaurant visit, because it involves getting to meet and talk with Adam, his team, and the wine people; and the entire atmosphere is wonderfully warm and convivial. You also get talks about the dishes and wines on offer, and to see the team working in the kitchen, producing and carefully plating the dishes. Oh, and the food? Well, anyone who has ever visited Trinity will be unsurprised to hear that it is always superb. Adam uses many classic ingredients together with a few more unusual ones, and produces dishes just bursting with flavour. He has that knack of combining flavours so they absolutely sing in the mouth in perfect harmony, without ever being overpowering or losing their individual notes. Highly recommended.

    Good value Sunday set lunch Upstairs. Pork was quite salty but otherwise a lovely meal. Good choice of wine, but a bit pricey, made a £45 set meal turn out to be £100 each - with only 1/2 bottle of wine each.

    This was our first time upstairs at Trinity (not as part of the Sunday Lunch Club). We had a wonderful lunch with great food and amazing service.

    We had a fantastic meal at Upstairs and can’t wait to come back. Our waiter Jack was fabulous & further his awareness of allergens was spot on and really put me at ease as a coeliac. Thank you so much!

    Bistro style restaurant above a one Michelin star downstairs. Seating was at a counter looking outside and not the best (frayed seats). Service was excellent. The menu is sharing plates, all beautifully presented. The ox heart skewer was delicious although somewhat drowned by the mustard, tuna tartar had perfectly pickled cucumber, burrata was excellent. The monkfish main dish was a very large fillet, enough for two, beautifully presented but maybe a fraction overcooked. £60 for a decanted bottle of 2022 Beaujolais Village seemed a little expensive. with cocktails, etc, £250 for two seemed rather expensive though. Overall, definitely worth a visit for a special occasion.
