"If you need somewhere that treads the line between fancy and friendly (read: theatrical sauce pours minus starched white tablecloths), we have a feeling you’re going to like Trivet. This sophisticated, sleek restaurant ticks the boxes for an upmarket long lunch or special occasion, with attentive service and creative dishes like Cornish plaice with sauce jean vignard. In the evening, the modern European mains will set you back upwards of £40, but the lunchtime small plates or a cheese selection paired with a crisp glass of Turkish white wine on the terrace is also a great way to spend a sunny afternoon." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
