Trillium, the latest venture from acclaimed chef Glynn Purnell and wine expert Phil Innes, is set to open in Birmingham’s business district in September.

Located at Snow Hill, this vibrant new restaurant brings together bold, seasonal dishes with a dynamic, ever-evolving wine list.

Rooted in a spirit of discovery, community, and character, Trillium offers a fresh perspective on refined dining — relaxed, memorable, and soul-staining in the best possible way.

“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 kitchen delivers a seasonal, ever-changing menu built around shared dining. Guests can choose from a range of small and large plates, all designed to be enjoyed across the table. This flexible approach allows diners to sample multiple dishes in one sitting — tasting a variety of tastes, textures, and influences. Expect punchy flavours, global inspiration, and a creative energy that ensures no two visits are the same.

The wine list, curated by Phil Innes of 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.”

Trillium’s setting is immersive and intimate, shaped by a design narrative that blossoms from the quiet strength of its namesake flower. Inspired by folklore and nature’s rhythms, the interiors feature a romantic palette of wine-stained reds, beetroot, and plum — softened with sage, clay, and petal pink. Ethereal details — from hand-painted finishes and etched glass to dappled woodland lighting — infuse the space with a sense of mystery, movement, and poetry.

The restaurant will include a vibrant outdoor terrace, just steps away from Colmore Row — perfect for sipping wine, sharing snacks, and soaking up the atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Trillium is designed to feel welcoming and unpretentious — a place for locals, visitors, and anyone who believes the best meals are shared. The menu invites exploration and flexibility — ideal for sampling yet equally suited to those who prefer a more structured, traditional dining experience.

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.
