Michelin-trained chef Edward Boarland along with business partner Dee Reid have launched a new concept restaurant, wine bar and florist at 12 Bow Lane in London, called Stem and Stem.

The concept of Stem + Stem champions British produce, both in the kitchen and the
florist, where possible sourcing as many local ingredients and products from South
East Farmers who advocate sustainability so they can bring the best product to the
table for their guests.

Guests should expect a dynamic menu at Stem + Stem, which changes more than
seasonally. Ed often seeks inspiration from everyday life transporting this straight to
the kitchen with new menu additions every few weeks.

    Lovely restaurant and flowers were stunning. Good atmosphere. Food was lovely. A touch expensive but good for special occasions. Only down side - the tables are a little close

    Stem and Stem was a gorgeous place, set up very nicely and the staff were very friendly. The food was great, a lovely selection of drinks (both alcoholic and non - including non-alcoholic wine!!). Will be coming back!

    Oysters were super fresh. Small plates: both the cured cornish mackerel and roasted mushrooms were not full of flavours (umami) and beautifully presented. The coley maincourse was exquisite - strong bold spinach colour against the crispy skin and perfectly cooked fish... really seafood at its best. (Seafood dishes are consistently good here). perfect creme brulee ... o, and lovely chablis and gervey chambertin. am thinking of coming back already. Flowers are beautiful ... just a little gem in the city. Would highly recommend.

    Excellent food, the large plate is a perfect size for lunch, and a great wine selection. The restaurant is perfect for a quick lunch and has a lovely, sociable ambience ideal for a business lunch or with friends.
