First up, Trinity: since it opened in 2006, Adam’s fine-dining destination in Clapham Old Town has become the go-to gourmet gem of South London. Acclaimed modern European dishes include the likes of scallop ceviche, rump of lamb and roast hake, whilst five- or seven-course tasting menus offer great value for money with optional matched wines.

Next, Bistro Union: here Adam brings his culinary prowess to an altogether more casual spot on Clapham’s Abbeville Road. A very British neighbourhood bistro, the chef’s second restaurant offers an accessible menu with dishes that include the signature roast chicken for two, Cumberland toad-in-the-hole and mac ‘n’ cheese. Weekend brunches, meanwhile, have young, hip locals flocking religiously for Lowestoft kipper poached egg and muffin, and salt beef hash, fried egg and pickles.

A regular face on cookery shows such as Saturday Kitchen and author of popular cookbook How To Eat In, quality British fare has become synonymous with an Adam Byatt restaurant.

Restaurant Story is the highly anticipated debut restaurant from 26-year-old chef Tom Sellers. With backing and guidance from fellow chef Adam Byatt (Trinity), Tom has transformed an old toilet block on Bermondsey’s Tooley Street into a brand new, 40-cover restaurant.

With views of the Shard, Restaurant Story combines old and new in terms of design and cuisine to bring something truly creative to the capital. Drawing on his enviable experience under some of the world’s most talented chefs – including Thomas Keller at Per Se in New York, René Redzepi at Noma in Copenhagen, Tom Aikens at his eponymously-named restaurant in Chelsea and indeed Adam – Tom is finally showcasing his individual culinary style.

Food, Glorious Food Imaginative and experimental, Restaurant Story tells Tom’s story through food; whether plumbing the depths of his childhood memories or taking inspiration from one of his Michelin-starred mentors, Tom has created a menu that is very much a personal journey.
