A brand-new restaurant from two leading hospitality figures is set to open in Birmingham this autumn.
Trillium is the latest venture from acclaimed chef Glynn Purnell and wine expert Phil Innes, one which promises ‘a fresh perspective on refined dining’.
Located at Snow Hill, Trillium’s food offering is rooted in seasonal, shared dining shaped by a variety of tastes, textures and influences. Guests can choose from a range of small and large plates, all designed to be enjoyed across the table.
“At Trillium, choice is everything,” says Glynn. “We want guests to explore the menu in whatever way suits them — whether that’s a classic three-course meal or a custom selection of sharing plates. It’s about dining the way you want to, without rules.”
The wine list, curated by Phil, the mastermind behind Loki Wine, reflects the same spirit of exploration — rotating regularly to spotlight everything from hidden gems and low-intervention producers to iconic names.
“We’re building a wine list that’s as important to the restaurant as the food,” says Phil. “It’s not about prestige — it’s about offering a dynamic, ever-changing selection that showcases undiscovered treasures and unexpected finds. There will always be something on the list to surprise and delight.”
Inspired by folklore and nature’s rhythms, the interiors feature a palette of wine-stained reds, beetroot, and plum — softened with sage, clay, and petal pink. The restaurant will also feature a vibrant outdoor terrace, just steps away from Colmore Row, and he team say Trillium is designed to feel welcoming and unpretentious.
Trillium will open to the public in September, with a soft launch and early tasting events available through Club Trillium, the restaurant’s insider circle. Guests are encouraged to sign up online or via Instagram to receive early access and launch invitations.
