20 THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
STORY BY THE SEA
Tom Sellers And Restaurant Story Have Relocated
To Cornwall This Summer To Launch Story By The Sea
Restaurant
Critically acclaimed chef, Tom Sellers, has
closed up shop at his award-winning, Michelin-
starred London establishment, Restaurant
Story, and taken the entire team to the Cornish
Coast, where they have launched a six-week
residency in Carbis Bay titled Story by the Sea.
Located at the Carbis Bay Estate, set on the
privately-owned Blue Flag beach, visitors can
book for lunch or dinner seven days a week
until September 14th, and enjoy this ultimate
gastronomic opportunity whilst lapping up
views of golden sand beaches and blue seas.
Diners can enjoy a unique five or six-course
menu inspired by the ocean and created using
all that Carbis Bay and the surrounding area
have to offer. Known for its outstanding cuisine,
masterful execution, and playful creativity, Story
by the Sea guarantees guests an unforgettable
experience set in a breath-taking location.
To drink, a cocktail menu has been carefully
crafted to showcase the finest ingredients and is
served with innovative snacks at the bar. Twists
on classic cocktails feature in addition to some
of the Restaurant Story signature drinks.
The interiors are a nod to Story’s London
home, showcasing a contrast of traditional
luxury with a contemporary aesthetic. An
emphasis has been placed on natural textures
and comfortable seating has been arranged
throughout, whilst splashes of colour and warm
lighting will illuminate the dining room.
In addition to all this, and to further emphasise
to the message of valuing the seas, Tom Sellers
has launched an exciting collaboration with
Parley for the Oceans. Parley for the Oceans
is environmental organization and global
collaboration network for creators, thinkers and
leaders, known for its Ocean Plastic Program.
As part of the collaboration, restaurant guests
receive a Parley Ocean Bag at the end of their
meal - each made from five intercepted plastic
bottles and a reminder of the need to protect
the Oceans by avoiding single-use plastic. The
collaboration between Story by the Sea and
Parley for the Oceans aims to remove 50 tonnes
of marine plastic waste from beaches, remote
islands, rivers, mangroves and high seas, as well
as coastal communities via the Parley Global
Clean Up Network. Story by the Sea will run until 14th September
2019. Dining experiences include:
The bags are also available to purchase from the
Story website for £20 with all proceeds going
to support Parley’s global clean-up operations.
Every sale leads to the removal of 10 pounds of
marine plastic waste.
Speaking of the motivation behind the project,
Sellers said, “I have always had the fondest
memories of the seaside and a very loving
relationship with our oceans. The ocean is a
magical gift we have been given, along with
everything found within it, and I feel extremely
lucky to have this opportunity to cook within
Carbis Bay. The ocean and all that surrounds
it will shape our vision for the menu’s creative
process and cooking style.” GUEST CHEF APPEARANCES
