Trinity Restaurant

With its location in Clapham Old Town right next to the Common, Trinity is in the heart of the action, serving the local community, but the cooking of Adam Byatt has appeal well beyond the confines of SW4. Set well back from the road and with an open frontage, lunch can be an alfresco experience, while in the evening the room, done out in muted, natural colours, is somewhat sophisticated and always buzzing with the happy hum of contented customers. White-clothed tables, elegant cream and chocolate-coloured walls, comfortable cane-backed chairs and soft lighting, all provide a contemporary backdrop to the polished, modern cooking. There are also distant glimpses of the kitchen, plus a large private-dining 'kitchen table' that offers a closer window on all the action. Fixed-price lunch, à la carte and tasting menu reveal Byatt's highly inventive style, where creatively presented dishes based on classical French and modern European ideas combine with fine British produce and preparations. White onion and crayfish broth with seared crayfish, onion rings and rosemary is an imaginative first course, and Balmoral venison 'Wellington' comes with caramelised and creamed cauliflower, shaved Périgord truffles and juniper. Service gets the balance right, being both relaxed and professional.
