By Angela Greene: Restaurant Story By Tom Sellers announces reopening date.
Today reservations for Restaurant Story will open for tables from January through to March 2024. Guests will be able to book to dine in the main restaurant, or in the brand new dining area upstairs, which offers space for larger groups and private dining for the first time since the inception of Restaurant Story 10 years ago.
January 12th 2024 will see the re-opening of Restaurant Story, Tom Sellers’ two Michelin Star restaurant, housed in a former Victorian public toilet block in Bermondsey, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.
Restaurant Story has been closed since February 2023 for an extensive refurbishment, including the construction of an upper level which will have an outdoor balcony. This major refurbishment will mark a new chapter for the restaurant and, as Tom sees it, the start of ‘Story 3.0’ although innovation and the pursuit of excellence will remain the driving force. Works on Restaurant Story have coincided with the launch of two new venues, also led by Tom, with Sellers and his team focused on the openings of Story Cellar (Neal’s Yard) and Dovetale (Mayfair) whilst the project is completed.
The new second floor will comprise an intimate lounge area, seating 6-8 guests for an aperitif or nightcap, alongside a new open kitchen, Restaurant Story’s take on a chef’s table experience. Overlooking the kitchen will be the largest table in the restaurant, seating 14 guests for the first time in Restaurant Story’s history. This table will be available for public and private use. The second floor will also offer stunning views of The Shard and will facilitate the vast expansion of the restaurant’s wine programme.
Restaurant Story will reopen on 12th January 2024 at 199 Tooley St, London SE1 2JX.
Reservations we be available via: restaurantstory.co.uk on 23rd November 2023 for tables from January – March 2024
