Thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea at the Savoy - beautiful festive atmosphere. Staff were extremely welcoming, helpful, kind and did their utmost to make it a wonderful experience. From the doormen to the waiters assigned to us, everyone worked to the highest standards of professionalism. The pianist was amazing too.

The wine list features some excellent French wines – a real treat for novices and connoisseurs alike.

Nice and quiet, which is what we like. A little bit slow waiting for dessert. Food was lovely, but I thought slightly overpriced. Not a lot of choice for mains, I think 4 plus 1 special which was a steak. The staff were first class, and very obliging. We would go back, and do recommend it.

About the restaurant
Estabulo Rodizio Bar & Grill honour the Brazilian Gaúcho’s traditional method of cooking. This involves taking the most delicious and flavoursome cuts of meat, which are then skewered and cooked slowly on open flames.
This method of cooking also means that all the meat served to you fresh at your table, straight from the grill. You can eat as much or as little as you like, and we have a large selection of meats on offer, so you can stick to what you know or try something a little bit different!
We also have a selection of Vegetarian, Halal and Fish dishes on offer and the salad bar which is the perfect start to your meal, and accompanies our entire menu perfectly as little palate cleansers between each skewer that reaches your table.

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 of for a set price of £85. 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.
