Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With spring arriving, Fitzrovia’s Dalloway Terrace has been transformed once again and this time with a bee-inspired interior, highlighting their importance within the ecosystem and encapsulating the arrival of the new season.
And a new honey bee-themed afternoon tea is available alongside a new seasonal menu.
Newly appointed Head Pastry Chef, Chris Dodd, formerly of Tredwell’s and Café Royal, has created the Terrace’s “Honey Bee Afternoon Tea”, which include: honey roast ham and English mustard mayonnaise sandwiches served on wholemeal bread, Vanilla scones and Morello cherry scones served with clotted cream, raw honey and homemade jam and Lemon shortbread served with lavender honey and blueberry cream crowned with a blueberry glaze.
This spring makeover is also accompanied by a new seasonal menu from Executive Head Chef, Byron Moussouris. Highlights of the seasonal menu include: Seared scallops, cauliflower puree, poached raisins, granny smith apple; Rack of spring lamb served with green beans and toasted almonds and Seared red snapper served with pickled heritage carrots and lemon dressing.
The restaurant has also added a classic cocktail to the menu aptly named “Bee’s Knees”, which is made of Hayman’s Gin, fresh pressed lemon and London honey - with £2 being donated to the Bumble Bee Conservation Trust for every drink purchased.
The terrace has been reimagined by master florist Nikki Tibbles Wild at Heart and is adorned with an abundance of wild English flowers creating a kaleidoscope of colour, with oversized bees laced within the meadow styled blossom.
The seasonal bee-inspired installation also coincides with the 10th “Bee Day” of luxury London-based jeweller, Alex Monroe, who is famous for her iconic bumble bee necklaces and pins.
This will be celebrated by the front of house team at Dalloway Terrace who will all be wearing the famous design.
