Trinity Restaurant

Situated in the heart of Clapham Old Town adjacent to leafy Clapham Common, Trinity opened its doors in November 2006 with chef-restaurateur Adam Byatt returning to his Clapham roots after a sojourn among the bright lights of WC2 (ex Thyme and Origin at Covent Garden's Hospital media complex, and originally of the much-acclaimed Thyme in Clapham Park Road). Set well back from the road, it's an exciting, buzzy, neighbourhood venture which catches the eye and the light with its smart exterior and large window frontage. Inside there's a sophisticated, friendly atmosphere, the room decked out with white-clothed tables, elegant cream and chocolate-coloured walls, comfortable cane-backed chairs and soft lighting, all providing 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. Service is relaxed and friendly, yet suitably professional and knowledgeable. Adam's appealing menus feature interesting and adventurous combinations alongside some simpler dishes (including a Joint of the Day) on a repertoire that includes his hallmark tasting options. High technique, clear flavours, creative presentation and tip-top produce add to the wow-factor. Kick off with lasagne of crisp sardines, basil pesto and red pepper pipinard with crab velouté, and follow with braised beef short rib and onion cottage pie with bone marrow and organic carrots.
