Harvest in Champagne.

Every story begins somewhere. For our guests, it begins with a glass of Henri Giraud Esprit.

At the end of September, members of our team travelled to Aÿ with our friends at @newgenwines to visit our house champagne partner, @champagnehenrigiraud, and discover the story behind that first glass.

Henri Giraud’s approach brings together generations of family knowledge, the vineyards of Aÿ and carefully selected oak from the Argonne forest. That connection between people, place and craft is something we recognise in our own approach at Story.

Spending time with the team gave us a deeper appreciation of their work, before sitting down to their table experience, where exceptional produce was paired with champagnes from across the range.

Thank you to Henri Giraud and New Generation Wines for such a generous welcome, and for giving our team a story to bring back to the restaurant.

Restaurant Story x Alinea - The Chefs

“You have to be progressive and cannot stagnate.” @chefphillips

Tom Phillips is the Executive Chef of Restaurant Story, leading its kitchen with a focus on precision, discipline and a deep respect for the ingredients
he works with.

A Welsh-born chef, his cooking is shaped by a considered approach and an unwavering commitment to detail.

His training has taken him through some of the world’s greatest kitchens, including The Ritz in London, Thomas Keller’s Per Se in New York, Eric Frechon’s three-Michelin-starred Epicure in Paris and
Simon Rogan’s L’Enclume in the Lake District.

He has had the privilege of representing the UK twice on the Bocuse d’Or stage, first in 2019 and again in 2025, when his team finished fourth in Europe and fifth
in the world. Between competitions, he stepped back from competing to coach the UK team through its 2023 campaign, giving him a different but equally rewarding perspective on what it takes to succeed at that level.

Being part of the competition, in every role he has held, has shaped the way he thinks about technical excellence and mentoring the next generation of
British chefs, something that carries through to his day-to-day work.

Phillips joined Restaurant Story in 2017 and rose through the team to lead its kitchen, helping the restaurant earn its second Michelin star. Alongside
his team, he works closely with Story’s producers, bringing their finest ingredients, and the stories behind them, to the table.

Restaurant Story x Alinea - The Chefs

“Every dish here is a chapter. A memory plated, told through the very best of the British seasons.” @tomsstory

Tom Sellers is one of Britain’s most distinctive chefs, with an approach to cooking shaped by narrative, memory and a deep connection to the seasons. He began cooking as a teenager before learning his craft in some of the world’s most celebrated kitchens, including Restaurant Tom Aikens in London, Thomas Keller’s Per Se in New York and René Redzepi’s Noma in Copenhagen.

In April 2013, aged just 26, he realised a dream first imagined at nineteen and opened Restaurant Story near Tower Bridge. From the beginning, the restaurant was built around the idea that food could tell a story. Dishes became edible chapters, often rooted in memory, place and the people who had shaped him. This approach earned immediate acclaim, with a first Michelin star arriving just five months after opening, followed by a second in 2021.

Since then, Sellers has continued to grow HiStory Hospitality, creating a collection of restaurants, each with its own identity and sense of place. Story Cellar in Covent Garden, MOR on the Cornish coast and The Penn at the historic Stoke Park estate each reflect a different side of the group while remaining connected by the same belief in seasonality, craft and hospitality.

But Restaurant Story remains at the heart of it all. It is Sellers’ home and the clearest expression of a chef who believes that fine dining should do more than simply taste good. It should mean something.

Restaurant Story x Alinea - The Chefs

“Being original and doing a one-of-a-kind thing is what we strive for every day.” @grant_achatz

Grant Achatz is one of the most influential chefs of his generation, recognised for a modernist approach to cooking that places emotion, memory and surprise at its heart. Raised in his family’s restaurant in Michigan, Achatz trained at the Culinary Institute of America before working in some of the world’s most celebrated kitchens, including Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry and elBulli in Spain. In 2004, he co-founded Alinea in Chicago with Nick Kokonas. The restaurant quickly established a new language for fine dining, combining technical precision, creativity and theatre, and went on to earn three Michelin stars. His story is also one of remarkable resilience. In 2007, Achatz was diagnosed with Stage IV tongue cancer and underwent an innovative course of treatment at the University of Chicago. The treatment led to his recovery, although it temporarily took away his sense of taste. He later chronicled the experience in his memoir, ‘Life, On the Line’.

Today, through The Alinea Group, Achatz continues to explore the possibilities of food and hospitality across a collection of restaurants and concepts, including Alinea, Next, The Aviary and The Office.

We cant wait to welcome you to our kitchen, Chef.
