Trinity Choose Cleaner Products

It really was that big

Trinity is a neighbourhood restaurant situated in the heart of Clapham Old Town. It was opened back in 2006, and their self-set mission was to serve great food. It had to be seasonal, inspirational and, above all, delicious. Over eleven years later and their priorities have not changed one single bit. While they are the proud holders of one Michelin Star and numerous accolades – the motivation is as it has always been, to continuously provide their guests with a memorable gastronomic experience.
