Franks


Recommended Posts

Hi, has anyone been to Franks yet this year? I've got some friends come over on Saturday and thought we might go, but their Twitter account suggests that there may have been some one-in, one-out type shenanigans this year, which I can't really be bothered with. Anyone been there - how've you found it? Cheers

Went there last Friday at 9.30pm, hoping to try food up there (I'd heard here there were 'KERB' street food stylee stalls up on the top floor). Queue to go upstairs, giverned by a security bouncer chap was 30 yards long and didn't move the 10 mins we waited. So ended-up at Gowlett for a cracking pizza instead.

So, for me, it's a place I may have to queue, whic I don't do.

I hope to hear other news / versions that'll entice me vack there.

If you're going on Friday or Saturday evening then you should definitely get there before 6.30pm or there's a very good chance you'll be joining the queue - especially on a sunny day. It's worth checking @frankspeckham on Twitter before heading out as they'll usually post if they're full up.


As for KERB, they've got another Peckham event coming up this summer (I'm not sure if the date is confirmed yet) which will be at the Bussey Building like before.

Yep go during the day - we went up on an afternoon a couple of Saturdyas ago and it was fine.


They do seem to have adopted an interesting bar queue arrangement. Much like sandwich shops in Itlay - you queue to pay, that person gives your order to a person who just works on pouring and making drinks and you then collect your finished order from another person further down the bar.


I have to say the whole queuing and bouncer system, whilst obviously needed, puts me off. The most enjoyable thing about Franks a few years ago was that it was a relaxed place locally to have a few drinks on a sunny evening without the need to travel too far - having to queue up for an hour with half of East London kind of defeats the object of going to it - for all it's charms it is still just a car park in Peckham and not worth an hours queuing in my book.

Could just sit on a 37 bus for an hour, get that drink and head home again. Each to their own I guess Foxy.


Not been to Franks for a couple of years but getting in before the crowd was the key. Seriously Foxy you should give it a whirl. Smashing views of the London skyline on a nice evening, plenty of which we have been having.

I worked in the city of London for 40 Years.. I have seen the skyline from numerous high buildings.


I have seen the Skyline from Dawson Heights when I lived on Dunstans rd.


I have seen it from Primrose Hill.


and I have seen it from Aircraft.


I have to admit that I have not seen it from a Derelict Car Park in Peckham..

It will have to go on my 'To Do' list before I die.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
