Upstairs By Tom Shepherd - Lichfield

We had such a lovely experience at Upstairs. With the warmest welcome with smiling faces waiting for us at the top of the stairs making us feel so special they kindly took our coats and seated us at our table. All the staff were so kind and genuine talking us through every step of the evening and every course was explained with a backstory and how best to eat it. I had the vegetarian options and they kindly informed both of us on our different courses each time. You could tell they all love their job! The food was incredible, stand outs for me was the butternut squash (wish I could eat this again right now! the transition thai green curry which just has to be experienced to understand how delicious it is! And of course the ‘no ordinary schoolboy’ which didn’t disappoint even with the very high expectations after the Great British Menu. A really special treat for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the experience, it is one to remember!

An absolutely wonderful evening at Upstairs! Totally totally delicious food, lots of debate over what was the best course as every dish was so fantastic. Also truly perfect service, everyone that works there is so lovely and they all sing Tom's praises as a leader. Special s/o to Flo who looked after us amazingly well and was so charming and helpful. Cant wait to go back (hopefully soon)!! Xx Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Absolutely loved our first time at Upstairs. The dining room experience is intimate, but it still felt like I had personal space. The service overall was excellent, although the drinks service faltered a tiny bit mid service it was soon corrected. The food. Just wow. From the snacks.. through to the full tasting menu. All were excellent, but the second lamb dish and banana dessert we're truly world-class dessert and worth every accolade. Look forward to returning. Great value. Nice sized portions and just a brilliant experience overall. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £100+ Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

First class dining experience. Imaginative dishes, prepared and served with real care and bursting with flavour. Top class attentive team without being over fussy or intrusive. We had the full tasting menu with the wine pairing. Great food with a well thought out and unusual flight of wine pairings that complemented the food perfectly. Definitely worth a trip!
