KIOSK, GNH’S takeaway deli, will be giving away little pots of honey with their porridge.
The London Honey Company was founded in 1999 by Steve Benbow and begun on his roof in Tower Bridge. It was here he first installed his honeybees, determined to bring a taste of his Shropshire roots into his life in the capital. They were quickly invited to some of London’s most iconic rooftops, including Fortnum and Mason’s and the Tate. Their range is available in high-quality stores as well as online.
The special menu will be available at Plum + Spilt Milk throughout National Honey Week (23rd – 29th October) for both lunch and dinner.
