Peas, and only peas, are on the menu at one Islington restaurant next week, with a frozen food brand set to open a one day pop-up “PEA-ple’s café”.

Birds Eye, the brand behind ‘petits pois’, will host the pea-inspired event at The Skinny Kitchen in Upper Street on April 5.

The pop-up is a collaboration with chef Miguel Barclay, best known for his ‘One Pound Meals’ recipe books.

Birds Eye said that the chef would demonstrate how peas can be “the star of the show” and not just “an after-thought”.

The menu will include three canapes – pea humous on a slice of cucumber, smashed peas and feta on toasted ciabatta, and roast chicken and pea blinis.

For those with a thirst, there will also be an elderflower and pea cocktail, or mocktail, on offer.

Laura Clements, senior brand manager for peas at Birds Eye, said:  "We are so excited to welcome visitors to The PEA-ple’s Café.

“So often, peas are overlooked and considered more of a side piece to a meal, but with this menu we hope to inspire the nation to see them as a hero ingredient for those brunch and lunch time occasions."

The pop-up event will run from 2.30pm until 5pm.
