Valentine's Day Special – Indulge in a romantic three-course meal! On February 14th, we will be exclusively serving our special Valentine's set menu.

At our restaurant, we believe that dining is more than just a meal—it's an experience that brings people together. Our ethos is built on the foundation of family, community, and shared moments.
We understand that family doesn't have to be defined by blood; it includes friends, partners, and anyone with whom we share a special bond.

We offer seating across two floors, and you are welcome to request either upstairs or downstairs seating when making your reservation. However, please note that during busy periods, we may not always be able to guarantee your preferred seating choice. If you have any accessibility or mobility concerns, kindly mention them in your booking, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Thank you for your understanding!

    This was our first time visiting Trio to celebrate my partner's birthday. I'm pleased we did as the food was absolutely delicious. Not just the bellies but our hearts were full too. The staff who served us were fantastic and friendly. Very good attention to any requests and delivered. Thank you and we will visit soon.

    We chose this as a convenient half way stop between Norfolk and Kent. Chose it because we all like Italian food. Easy to book online. Convenient parking nearby. Very friendly welcome. All the staff were very attentive. Food was excellent and good choice. Would definitely recommend and will use again. It was worth the slight detour off the M11.

    We've been to Trio three times and it's always great. Imaginative food beautifully presented at a reasonable price for such high quality. Good drinks list and excellent service. Our restaurant of choice in Saffron Walden.

    Trio was a nice visit. The staff are welcoming & friendly. The noise level was very high - not the restaurants fault but it was very difficult for my friend & I to enjoy a chat over our meal. Overall, the food was good. I had bruschetta to start & meatballs & spaghetti for my main, we shared a lovely salad. The main was a little dry for me & lacked the flavour I was expecting. But I would recommend Trio to otthers

    Nicely decorated restaurant in centre of town. Has potential. Pizza was quite nice but carbonara very rich. Will try something different next time. Good service and helpful staff.
