Inspector comments
"Discover an intimate venue with precision cooking."
Overview
Located in the cathedral city of Lichfield, Upstairs by Tom Shepherd is a contemporary restaurant above the jewellery shop owned by the chef-proprietor’s father. A stylish room in various shades of grey is the setting for the seven-course tasting menu at lunch or dinner. The cooking is inspired by the seasons, produce and locality. A beautifully presented starter of Orkney scallop, peanut satay, radish and coriander could lead onto Cornish cod, Amalfi lemon, champagne and mussel.
