New Regent Street’s Story is an intimate dining space and culinary journey you must experience. Chef Shafeeq uses local ingredients with a twist, and fresh seasonal produce is reflected in an ever-changing menu. Pop in before a show at the theatre for a few plates from the bar snack menu with a glass of vino or two from the eclectic drinks menu. Got a bit more time to spare? Bring a few with you, and treat yourself to the set menu – the best way to experience Story. Our menu favourite is the Tai Tapu venison, with oyster mushroom, celeriac puree, vindaloo spice butter sauce, and a fermented rhubarb relish. Story is open for dinners, Tuesday to Saturday from 5pm. @storychch
