A New Part-Restaurant, Part-Floristry Has Opened in the City

Stem & Stem is fusing British cuisine and locally-grown flowers in Central London

Michelin-trained chef Edward Boarland teamed up with floral and fashion industry veteran Dee Reid to create this fine dining, wine bar, and nature experience. As business — and life — partners, the pair combined their passions and opened Stem & Stem in November 2023, which prioritises sustainability and freshness by using local produce and ingredients from South East farmers. A constantly evolving menu by Boarland, who trained under Alain Roux, Clare Smyth, Gordon Ramsay, and Simone Zanoni, showcases British cuisine inspired by his everyday life and seasonal produce. Along with the evolving menu comes a changing wine list focused on European wine appellations.

Reid is responsible for the floristry side of things and uses British blooms to elevate the Stem & Stem experience into a sensory one. As well as popping in for lunch, dinner or drinks, the space, located near St Paul’s Cathedral, also hosts themed workshops for occasions like Mother’s Day, where you can learn how to create the perfect bouquet while tasting Stem & Stem small plates and drinking champagne.
