The Ivy Chelsea Garden celebrates ‘A Year in the Garden’

Last night saw a host of The Ivy Chelsea Garden’s regulars, local residents, influencers and famous guests—including Marissa Montgomery, Lord and Lady Weymouth, Nicky Haslam, Guy & Lizzie Pelly and Nancy Dell’Olio—gather together to celebrate ‘A Year in The Garden’.

Hosted a year after opening in the restaurant’s beautiful gardens and orangery, guests enjoyed Nyetimber’s Classic Cuvee 2009 English sparkling wine, The Ivy Chelsea Garden’s refreshing summer garden cocktails and a selection of delicious canapés, created by Executive Chef Sean Burbidge. During the evening, guests were invited to explore the restaurant’s recently-revealed summer garden, featuring climbing wisteria, rose arches and a variety of colourful summer blossoms—officially marking the start of the summer season in Chelsea.

Model Sarah Macklin and Matthew Williamson’s Rosanna Falconer—both of whom were dressed in fitting floral print attire—were seen taking photos in front of the restaurant’s impressive flower installation celebrating the upcoming RHS Chelsea Flower Show, while Guy & Lizzie Pelly were seen catching up with old friend Irene Forte. Also in attendance on the night was Emma McQuiston, Lady Weymouth, who wore a striking red ensemble, while stylist Martha Ward, Sofia Wellesley and Marissa Montgomery were overheard discussing how quickly the year had passed since they attended the restaurant’s garden launch party in summer 2015.
