Tom Sellers

Hailing from Nottingham, Tom Sellers is a two Michelin-starred Chef who opened his first restaurant, Restaurant Story, at 26. At launch, Tom’s unique approach garnered significant critical acclaim, being awarded a Michelin Star just five months after opening, with a second star following in 2021. Tom learned his craft from some of the world’s most influential Chefs and spent time working alongside the likes of Tom Aikens in London, Thomas Keller at three Michelin-starred Per Se in New York, and René Redzepi at two Michelin-starred Noma in Copenhagen, all before the age of 21. Story Cellar, a Parisian-inspired rotisserie restaurant, opened in 2023 to much critical acclaim, followed by Dovetale at 1 Hotel Mayfair — a sustainably minded, produce-led restaurant featuring reimagined European classics, dishes cooked over the grill, and an abundant raw bar.
