RESTAURANT STORY
Restaurant Story is Tom Sellers flagship restaurant and home. Situated close to London Bridge, it opened its doors seven years ago in April 2013. To celebrate 5 years of opening, Story underwent a full refurbishment reopening to the public in May 2018 with a new menu concept and stunning interiors.
Simply put, Story serves a tasting menu of delicate, masterful dishes inspired and led by the British seasons and the very best produce available.
Each course tells a story: it could be inspired by a moment in Tom’s life or the provenance of an ingredient. The menu is served in an intimate, 10-table restaurant by a team that Tom has built around him throughout his career.
PRIVATE DINING
The restaurant is the ideal setting for a corporate event or a more intimate gathering of friends and family. Exclusive hire of the restaurant and private dining is available 6 days a week and we can welcome groups of up to 30 guests.
The majority of our private event customers choose the 5 course seasonal Story tasting menu with matched drinks. This takes around 3 hours to complete, however, a longer 7 course menu is also available, which takes 4 hours to complete. Bespoke menus can also be created.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY
“Lunch was a thrill-a- minute experience. A succession of show stopping dishes that began with a couple of insanely delicious prestarters... sets the tone for a meal which is designed to be talked about, as well as enjoyed.”
TRACEY MACLEOD, THE INDEPENDENT
“The menu has a deceptive simplicity – troikas of ingredients – but behind them is a sophisticated, expert construction that is elegant, thoughtful and clear..“
AA GILL, THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE
'I can't remember a meal that prompted so many actual, physical reactions. The food is genuinely directional.”
MARINA O’LOUGHLIN, THE GUARDIAN
“Onions star in a dish with Old Tom gin, while fallow deer is a fine piece of meat, cooked to perfection, with yeast and dandelion in a captivating combination."
AMANDA AFIYA , CATERER MAGAZINE
