Frog on the Green weekend suppers

Recommended Posts

Just heard from a good foodie friend who attended one of John's Frog on the Green weekend supper club events and had a grand old time. Fabulous food and great company. I'm a great frequenter of this lovely local deli and John's a fab chef and I'll definitely be attending the next one. He told me today when I popped in for some amazing courgette fritters that his aim is to make the Frog a home from home, where people can just come and kick off their shoes, forget all their worries, and just tuck in. He's such an asset to Nunhead/Peckham so do give it a try (I love East Dulwich/Peckham's independent shops, and my philosophy is 'use it or lose it'. Hence all my veggie shopping is at Pretty's in North Cross Road, butchers at William Rose, and Franklin's Farm shop for sundries!)


He's on 0207 732 2525 if you want to book. I think they take up to 20 people from Friday eve to Sunday.

Hi. I'm thrilled to have been asked to post this from John from Frog on the Green for his next do:


Frog on the Green is organising a series of supper clubs every Friday and Saturday starting from Friday 10th May. It will explore the flavours and textures of South Eastern Mediterranean using the Ottoman legacy and culinary tradition as a rough geographical guide. Greece, one of the principle locations enjoys some following which its current dire offerings in the UK hardly deserve. We will try to put this right and in the process highlight treasures like Bulgarian cheeses, Turkish spices, foods cooked in embers, unusual wines and more, much more. Starting from this Friday we?ll be serving the following:


Nettle pancake, strained yoghurt, grilled peppers and feta


English asparagus, home made taramasalata, Ionian Botarga


Baked seabream, fern tips, lemon and oregano dressing


Custard and cinnamon pie


Home made Turkish delight and coffee


The price of the above menu is ?32/person. Dinner will be served from 8 pm.

Please bear in mind that at present we can only accommodate a maximum of 20 people so book early to avoid disappointment. Hope you can join us.

Well, folks. I have to say. I had the Nettle pancake (woah!), strained yoghurt, grilled peppers and feta, followed by the baked seabream, fern tips, lemon and oregano dressing. Oh God, is all I can say. My favourite restaurant is the Palmerston in Lordship Lane. These suppers are well on a par but at half the price! All the subtle flavours of the dishes simply exploded in my mouth. Extraordinary.

    • No hesitation in recommending Pavel and his excellent company. So glad we were able to have a slot in the schedule. Our move has been stressful in many ways so it was a huge relief to have the contents of our home dealt with by kind, responsive professionals. 
    • I have someone from Which Tech phoning on Monday afternoon. I couldn't get an earlier appointment. I am hoping that now there is a visible display, they will be able to get me online and then  remotely control the laptop and identify what went wrong and whether it is an ongoing fault or, if not, whether it is likely to recur. If they can't, or if they identify a hardware fault,  I will have to grit my teeth and let John Lewis's third party "repair" company take it away and deal with it 😭 I'm very grateful for your advice, but when I saw "Windows will restart automatically" my immediate reaction was to think "but suppose it doesn't" and "suppose the screen goes black again" which I know is very negative but I'd rather someone else was there when I did it, albeit on the end of the phone! Meanwhile, every cloud etc, as I have installed Word on my phone, which I didn't know was possible, and I have been editing and printing documents from there.  I haven't investigated whether I can do the same with Excel, but I will see what happens on Monday.
    • Just to the right of where the goslings were there’s a tree on the lake side of the fence where I like to watch the mother and baby rats. It was there today I saw a  dog. I was surprised by the nimble way this large dog jumped back over the fence. 
    • If you mean the area immediately adjacent to the water, I have never seen either a dog or a human in there. Surely it would be extremely difficult for someone - or their dog - to get over the fence (I thought they were iron railings. Are we talking about different parts of the pond/lake?)
