Tom Sellers

Described as a 'rising star in the London dining scene', Tom Sellers is a famed two-time Michelin-starred chef. Since he first made his mark on the industry, he is now considered to be a leading chef on the scene, a pioneer of gastronomy. Forward-thinking and passionate, Tom is respected for breaking conventions, having made a statement with his casual, yet utterly delicious, dining experience. As a booking opportunity, few are quite as engaging as Tom.

Audiences revel in his presentations, as he expertly discusses gastronomy and takes guests on a culinary journey. Born in Nottingham, his first job was in a pub kitchen aged 16. After establishing himself as a promising chef, he then moved to London to be tutored by Tom Aikens, an esteemed chef who holds the title of the youngest double Michelin-starred cook. Tom spent a lot of his younger years travelling and cooking, journeying across Europe and the US to taste the different cultures. He cooked in some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world under established chefs including Thomas Keller at Per se,  René Redzepi at Noma and Adam Byatt at Trinity.

Aged 26, Tom opened his first restaurant, Restaurant Story. Despite his youth, his extensive, international experience quickly earned him a Michelin star, within just a year. Tom also was involved in the redevelopment of The Lickfold Inn which he transformed from a derelict pub into a ‘proper’ pub and restaurant seating up to 36 people which ranked sixth out of all the pubs in the UK in the Good Food Guide. Capable of producing high-performance teams, especially in such pressurised working conditions as a kitchen, Tom favours discipline, application and dedication in his chefs. Tom's restaurant visually compliments the food. It is classy and sophisticated, artistic in design. In 2021, Restaurant Story was awarded its second Michelin Star. Tom Sellers is also a published author, releasing A Kind Of Love Story in 2016. The book takes its reader through different recipes and Tom's memoirs, offering contextual narratives of Tom's most loved dishes.

At events, he is a knowledgeable voice on gastronomy, offering his audience an expert insight into cooking. Tom Sellers is available to book now via Champions Speakers. Contact us today!
