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.

    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.

    The concept and food was great but the overall experience didn’t quite match the reviews that I had read.

    Hi Love the place, love the staff the portion size was just so disaappointing and sadly my colleague and I will really not come back. A huge shame as we loved it, but came back to my office hungry. Small plates with 2 mushrooms if that! A shame The lovely waiter informed me that you had no non dairy mil at all and just didnt do it! To later return saying oh we have oat! Have to be honest as an amazing place but portions so tiny, flavours and menu STUNNING Thanks
    Stem and Stem - Restaurant and FloristResponded on 26 October 2024
    Hi Paula, Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere and flavours, and we’re truly sorry to have missed the mark with your experience on this visit. Our Lobster Mushroom is served as a small plate, intended as a starter. For something more substantial, our larger plates would have been a better choice, and our team is always happy to guide you through the menu and what dishes are most filling etc. As a young, food & wine focused business, we’ve prioritised offering dairy alternatives throughout the menu, but we understand how important this is for some in their coffee too. We’ll make sure oat milk or a dairy alternative is available going forward. Thanks again—your insights help us improve. Warm regards, Stem and Stem
