ABOUT US
Stem and Stem was founded in 2023 by business and life partners Ed & Dee. With a shared love of good food, artwork, cosy wine bars and nature we took it upon ourselves to create an environment which combines our passions and brings them to life under one roof.
Ed Boarland
In 2016, having spent 10 years training under multiple 2 & 3 Michelin starred chef’s, Ed met Gearoid Devaney MS & Xavier Rousset MS and took on the Head chef role at their new opening, Cabotte, in the City of London. Cabotte became a huge success amongst City workers and foodies alike.
Bringing his knowledge of City diners & his passion for Champagne, seafood and seasonal British produce to Stem + Stem Ed creates light, elegant, flavourful dishes with a focus on British seafood, sustainability and seasonality.
Having always had a hands-on approach, Ed can be found on any given day shucking oysters at our Raw & Cured Bar.
Dee Reid
After 15 years working with and within the buying divisions of british fashion brands, Dee found her time spent being creative at work had reduced so significantly that most of the working day was being spent behind a computer or sat in meetings about meetings.
Dee’s creativity started to be channelled into the garden and floral arrangements, eventually she made the move from one seasonally led industry to another and shortly after Stem + Stem was born.
