After a refurbishment this past October, Trinity now boasts a new first floor casual dining space, the aptly named 'Upstairs'. Featuring its own kitchen, bar and dining area; Upstairs offers its guests small sharing plates and a variety of wines, both by the glass and on draught. Guests can expect communal tables, simple decor and easy dining. The new space allows Adam to hold special events, and once a month Upstairs will play host to Guest Chef Evenings with some of his biggest food heroes.

James has previously worked at the iconic Soho House New York, before heading up the kitchens as Chef Director at The Pig with Robin Hutson.
