Provisional Soup Kitchen Late Fridays/ Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup


Recommended Posts

For everyone that is coming down to Peckham for the Late Fridays Exhibitions...


Provisional Soup Kitchen is a small cafe based in the front room of a tailors inside the Copeland Road Estate Park. It is run by artists and we hope to serve everyone in the community with affordable, good quality, made with love lunches based in the idea of the soup. We also have a proper coffee machine! For the last Fridays, since there will be so much activity with plenty of art openings at the estate and elsewhere -Hannah Barry Gallery, Foodface Projects, Son Gallery, Arcadia Missa and Sunday Painter- we will stay open and we will present:


Provisional Rags and Riches


Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup


Lobster soup is arguably the Gastronomic Queen Mother of all Western soups. The hedonistic combination of lobster and cognac laced with lashings of cream have graced the tables of many an art patron.


Cooked Water Soup (Aquacotta) is said to have originated in rural Tuscany before the Thomas Cook crowd fell in love with it. It is the frugal marriage of few vegetables and herbs boiled in water rendered more palatable with the addition of a bread rusk. But for all its humble ingredients, it is packed with earthy flavours and of course plenty of honesty.


Come and try both at Provisional Soup Kitchen this coming Friday from 18.00 till 22.00.

Unit 5b

Copeland Road Industrial Estate

133 Copeland Road

Peckham, London SE15 3SN

In true spirit of egalitarianism, you can have either soup for ?3.50/portion.


All Welcome!

Just to say that we went last night to the "soup kitchen" and can confirm that both the lobster soup and the Aquacotta soup were absolutely delicious. The aquacotta was packed with vegetables and herbs - I'd say it tasted of good health, but it was more interesting than that - the toasted bread it came with was excellent too. As for the lobster soup - it was good to see proper chunks of lobster in the thick creamy broth too. These soups were clearly made with love and attention - and a whole load of good well-sourced ingredients. It wasn't a surprise to hear that the chef from the deli Frog on the Green had a hand to play in the venture.


Lovely people too - I heartily recommend you wander along.

At 38 weeks that's exactly what I'm after - this thing's fully cooked and just freeloading now ... And this is a woman ready for some pate and soft cheese!

Oh well, if you're up for it, the optimum scenario is this:


Take a cab, put cabbie in blinkers and instruct him to drive up and down roads with speed humps. Meanwhile, indulge in furious sex while eating a lobster curry.


That should do it.

Thank you Bellenden Belle for such a lovely review. It was great last night, such a positive response from people! We are looking forward to doing more events like yesterday's. Other than that, we are open Mon-Fri lunchtime, 11am-3pm, catering the local community with hearty, affordable, quality soup meals and general community spirit in these dreary January days! Feel free to come by and say hello!

Hello again. I hope it is alright for me to post about our different events here.

Have a look at our Valentine's Menu attached and why not visit us at the day to experience a "Bohemian Royal Family" menu at the front room of a tailor's at the centre of Peckham!

Hi SofiaSt

The original post named:

Provisional Soup Kitchen Late Fridays/ Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup

made me think that I would be able to get a free meal from your Soup Kitchen, but now having seen that it is just an advertisement for you and no meal for the needy. it is now proof by you altering the name to;

Dr Valentines Recipes and Love Potions new

A very thoughtless Post. Posted in the wrong place go to the correct forum.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
