Planning a group dinner in Port of Spain can be a whole production. Coordinating people, choosing a menu that works for everyone, finding a space that isn’t too loud or too boring, and, of course, making sure there’s parking. It’s a lot.
But here’s the good news, Trotters makes group dining surprisingly easy. Whether you’re organizing a birthday lime, team celebration, family catch-up, or a last-minute link-up with friends, this Maraval Road staple checks all the right boxes.
Here’s how Trotters takes the stress out of group dinners in Port of Spain, and why locals keep coming back.
1. Spacious Seating for Any Group Size
Whether your group is 4, 10, or 20+ people, Trotters has the physical space to handle it, comfortably. The restaurant offers indoor and semi-outdoor seating with tables and booths that can be easily adjusted or combined for larger parties.
The layout was designed with flow and flexibility in mind, so even on a busy night, there’s room to accommodate a crew without feeling cramped or chaotic. Plus, there’s no bad seat, everyone still gets a great view of the TVs or access to the bar.
Planning something bigger or more private? Trotters also hosts reserved sections for corporate events, birthdays, and special celebrations. Just reach out via events@trotters.net to book in advance.
2. A Menu With Something for Everyone
One of the biggest challenges with group dinners is finding a place that caters to everyone’s taste. From picky eaters and vegetarians to health-conscious friends or straight-up meat lovers, Trotters’ menu offers real variety.
Popular crowd-pleasers include:
- Ultimate Burger (stacked with grilled pineapple and BBQ sauce),
- Wicked Wasabi Wings,
- Tex-Mex Spring Rolls,
- Nachos Grande (available vegetarian or with meat),
- Crab and Shrimp Quesadillas,
- Guiltfree Salmon for lighter diners,
- Kids’ Menu for the little ones
You can start with sharable apps like spring rolls, dip, or wings, then everyone picks their own main; or go family-style with a few platters.
Everything is listed on the menu at trotters.net/menu, and yes, they do accommodate customizations for dietary preferences.
3. Easy Parking
We all know Port of Spain parking can ruin a perfectly good evening. But at Trotters, you won’t be driving around the block five times or fighting with traffic wardens.
There’s on-site parking with a dedicated attendant to guide guests to available spots, even on busy nights. That might seem like a small thing, but for group dinners, it makes arrival smoother and keeps everyone in a good mood from the jump.
It’s just one of the little things that makes Trotters more group-friendly than most other POS venues.
4. Attentive, Coordinated Service for Groups
Trotters’ staff is trained to handle group service efficiently. That means:
– Seating everyone together quickly,
– Managing multiple orders at once,
– Splitting checks if needed,
– Keeping drinks refilled,

And if there’s a birthday or surprise involved, just let the staff know ahead of time; they’ll help coordinate it discreetly.
5. The Vibe Is Always Right, But Never Too Loud
Trotters nails a tricky balance; it’s lively, energetic, and social, but not so loud that your group has to shout over music to hear each other.
There’s music, screen action, and conversation, but you can still talk comfortably across the table. It works well for groups that want a laid-back atmosphere with energy, without the stress of a club or the stiffness of a formal restaurant.
It’s also a great mid-point between casual and elevated, which means it suits different personalities in your group. The dress code is relaxed, the crowd is mixed, and the space feels welcoming to everyone.
6. Flexible Booking and Custom Setups
