Handcrafted Olive Oil Bottles for Restaurant Story

We were approached by Restaurant Story, a 2-Michelin Starred restaurant, in our area. We were asked to create olive oil pouring bottles derived from the basic shape of an olive. Peter loves projects like this. Working with celebrity chef Tom Sellers, one of the UK's most creative chefs, was most enjoyable. Sellers is impressive for his hugely creative approach to both his food and its presentation.

These pouring bottles are to be used to present the very finest of olive oils to diners, at their table. Working with Layne Rowe, a highly talented glass maker with whom Peter has worked for some 30 years, Peter created a simple but elegant bottle.

Restaurant Story enjoy working with businesses within the community in which they are located and have worked with Neals Yard in this way, featuring them on their social media channels. They are doing the same for us, so please click this link to see our 'story' on their social media channels.
