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.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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.
