Tom Sellers gained a Michelin star just five months after opening Restaurant Story in Bermondsey in 2013, and he's retained it ever since. But his unique restaurant concept means that it's difficult to explain why. Instead of presenting a set menu on arrival, Restaurant Story tailors tasting menus (available as four, eight, nine or eleven courses) to diners' personal preferences. Sellers' creations are generally British and seasonal: examples include platinum caviar and golden beetroot, fairground onions and Story salad – these hints still don't give much away, though.
One thing we can tell you about is the recent refurbishment of the Bermondsey venue: large front-facing windows allow natural light to illuminate the space, a pretty bird sculpture cascades across the ceiling and white tablecloths dress circular tables. Restaurant Story is a true one-off – we guarantee you'll be blown away.
