About HiStory Hospitality

The project is led by Tom Sellers, one of the UK’s most respected chefs. Hailing from Nottingham, Tom opened his first restaurant, Restaurant Story, at just 26 years old. The restaurant quickly gained critical acclaim, earning a Michelin star within five months, followed by a second star in 2021.

Tom trained with some of the world’s most influential chefs, including 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.

More recently, the group opened Story Cellar, a Parisian-inspired rotisserie restaurant, followed by Dovetale at 1 Hotel Mayfair, which offers a produce-led menu of reimagined European classics alongside dishes cooked over the grill and an abundant raw bar.
