Clapham

About the restaurant

Trinity reopened in October 2015 with the same ethos, culture and team whilst recreating a new and refreshing backdrop - retaining its sophistication and remaining a restaurant of significance in Clapham.
An alfresco dining area accommodates 16 guests, the dining room seating 40 guests that now have a clear view into an open plan kitchen with banquette seating surrounded by the soft hues of jade green and dusty heather pink.
Staying true to his style of cookery, the new menu will focus on Adam’s interpretation of great classics in a relaxed and approachable setting.
The kitchen presents a four course a la carte menu for a set price of £70 for lunch and £120 for dinner. The wine list continues to offer great value with the Chef's Cellar List (just add VAT and corkage), increasing both our quantity and quality and a overall extension to the main wine list of up to 400 bins now on display in the feature wine cellar on the ground floor.

Soho

About the restaurant

Firebird is a chic and vibrant open-fire restaurant and wine bar in Soho.
Our kitchen team works closely with local and regional suppliers and farmers to present the freshest meat, seafood, poultry and vegetables. We invite you to experience wood-fired cooking with no tricks or artifice – just the best produce transformed over a custom-made open-fire grill.

Firebird’s wine list, curated by co-owner and sommelier Anna Dolgushina, champions small, natural and biodynamic producers from across Europe, who work their vineyards organically, with respect to nature and soil.
Bottles change frequently with juicy, vibrant and elegant varieties all being accounted for.

The interior designed by DA BUREAU is inspired by a modern Mediterranean mood, whilst shadows and reflections are used to recreate memories of afternoons spent in courtyards on the continent, underneath olive trees sharing food and drink with friends.

Haven't been to Firebird for a while but it was as good as I remembered. Stunning food and super friendly service and unusual but delicious wine and a beautiful space - and did I mention the incredible food? It is expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. Strongly recommend.

About the restaurant

A restaurant, wine bar and fermenting kitchen - we're open for lunch Wednesdays to Sundays and dinner all week.

Our menu changes monthly and our cooking is simple and seasonal. It's here we make all our seasonal ferments, pickles and drinks - all of which you can buy ready jarred from our fridge.

Our large kitchen counter is the centrepiece, and you’re invited to grab a seat, order something to eat and enjoy the workings of life in our kitchen. In the evening, the lights go down, dinner is served and you can enjoy wines by the glass and bottle from our ever-changing wine list of natural and biodynamic wines.

Amazing meal with fantastic service, went to solus kitchen to celebrate my birthday plus our wedding anniversary and we couldn’t of been looked after better, when I asked if they could change a couple of things because I don’t like spice, they were more than accommodating and the food that we were given not only looked amazing but tasted unbelievable. If you’re looking for somewhere extra special I would highly recommend giving this place a go, we will definitely be back next time we’re visiting.
