A retrospective glance at 2012

As we head into 2013 with all the vim and vigour you would expect from the Frontline Club, I thought it would be a good time to take a brief look at what happened in 2012.

Firstly, the fact that you are reading this on our new and improved website is thanks to the hard work of Alison Benjamin. You will be able to keep up to date on all our dishes, drinks and events with far greater ease and it is smart phone friendly too!

We also saw the introduction of our new menu in 2012, under the close scrutiny of John Edwards, our head chef. You will now find a wider selection of vegetarian dishes as well as more variety all round at very reasonable prices. The Maldon oysters are by far my favourite addition to the menu.

Combined with our new culinary wonders, we also introduced a new drinks selection. We now have a sleek new wine menu, which is very user friendly, and a great selection of speciality cocktails. All in all there are plenty of good reasons to drop in and sample something great this New Year.

It's almost time for seasonal greetings

The decorations are up, the gingerbread is out, and the music is playing softly in the background, we are definitely in the Christmas mood here at Frontline!

The run up to Christmas can be quite stressful with thousands rushing to the shops, let us relieve your stress and by organising your party. No need to worry about what to cook for your guests or whether or not they will like it, our chefs will make sure they don’t leave disappointed. Frontline will take care of you and your guests so you can sit back, relax and enjoy a gorgeous glass of wine from our extensive wine cellar.

With less than 20 days to go to the most anticipated holiday of the year, join us at Frontline to celebrate this merry time.

A little something for our family and friends across the Atlantic

Celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada, Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to start the holiday season off by enjoying a lavish meal with family and friends. Originally celebrated by the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians to commemorate  the first harvest reaped after a harsh winter, we at Frontline thought it was time to give back to our friends across the boarder.

We are delighted to welcome  you to join us for this special celebratory time, a great oppportunity to enjoy our charming Thanksgiving menu for lunch or dinner at the restaurant on November 24th or 25th.

Although it may be getting colder and darker outside, I think its time we gather our family and friends to experience this, after all who wouldnt want to spend time with those closest!

Hearty Food for Valiant Olive Pickers on Sunday 5th December

POTENTINO POP-UP

Our cousins who make the wonderful Potentino wine we serve in the Restaurant and Club are running their pop-up restaurant at Frontline every first Sunday of the month.

This is their latest email with news from the vineyard and announcing the menu for Sunday 5th December: Hearty Food for Valiant Olive Pickers.

Please book directly with Alexander by emailing potentino.bookings@me.com.

 

We are being flooded out of the olive groves at the moment but when the sun shines all are in shirt sleeves up the ladders. Soon, the cold Tramontana wind from Siberia will start blowing in with crystal clear blue skies and everyone rushes inside to get as close as possible to the fire, where the new oil and bruschetta and garlic are very popular. This menu is for that hunger.
-Charlotte

Lunch 1pm for 1:30pm and dinner 7:30pm for 8pm at £25 a head:

Ciaffagnoni with Ricotta and Chard (Tuscan Cannelloni)
*
Red Onion Acquacotta with Quail’s Egg and Bruschetta

The Frontline is a busy place – and though some might slow down during the summer months it’s as exciting as ever at Norfolk Place and we’ve got some great events and plans for the coming months. Here’s what’s going on:

The finest food and wine

We pride ourselves on serving the best  food made from the finest homegrown ingredients from the Frontline’s own Norfolk farm – check out the latest menu here to see what’s cooking. As always, food can be ordered in our members’ club room.

And for a special treat, why not join us for a food and wine tasting evening with wine expert Malcom Gluck on thursday 15 July – all the details and the mouthwatering five-course menu can be seen here.

Weekend openings

To make the most of the long nights, the club room is now open and serving food on Saturdays, so get in touch to book your table now

Great debates

Our unique series of talks and panel discussions continues throughout summer: coming up are fascinating talks on Iran, US politics and the Israel/Palestine conflict, with many more to be announced soon. Keep checking Frontlineclub.com/events and subscribe to our weekly email newsletter (sign up here) to stay up to date.

And our series of fantastic film screenings continues apace too, including Sergio, which tells the story of a Brazilian United Nations diplomat killed by an explosion in Iraq.

You can catch up on any events you miss at our Forum blog and our podcast on iTunes.

Coming soon: the Liberation season

In the coming weeks the club will kick off a season of talks and film screenings centred around the themes of human rights, civil liberties and protest. Watch this space…
