Frankie’s is a vibrant pop-up dining experience located within Kitchen by KASK on North Street in Bedminster. Helmed by local chef and MasterChef UK contestant Adam Ball, Frankie’s offers a creative take on comfort food, with a focus on gluten-free fried chicken and waffles, that fits right in with the region's independent eateries.
The setting is casual and welcoming, featuring an open kitchen that allows diners to watch as the food is cooked right in front of them. An outdoor garden area provides additional seating, ideal for those on the hunt for al fresco dining during warmer months.
The menu features a variety of flavourful options, including Buffalo Blue, Maple Glazed, Thai Green and Hot Honey Ranch chicken, all served atop crisp waffles. Accompaniments include signature million layer potatoes, cucumber salad, and frickles (fried pickles, of course), providing a satisfying range of sides. For dessert, guests can indulge in zeppole (a fried doughnut-style dessert), offering a sweet conclusion to the meal.
For those looking to visit for brunch, expect the likes of million layer hash with pastrami, fried egg and pickles, or huevos rancheros waffles with fried chicken, avocado, and jalapeno ranch. Frankie's is a family-run spot, so they know the importance of feeding your little ones. A kids menu boasts classic chicken and waffles or a maple bacon alternative, with the option of making a smaller version of any of the adult waffles instead.
Complementing the food is a selection of natural wines curated by KASK, the venue’s sister wine bar. These wines, including vibrant pet nats, are chosen to pair seamlessly with the dishes. For those preferring beer, a range of craft options, including gluten-free choices, is also available.
