The Frog And The Peach

The Frog and The Peach was founded in downtown New Brunswick, NJ in 1983 by husband and wife team Jim Black and Betsy Alger, who prior to entering the restaurant business both had careers in the plant world - Jim was a landscape architect and Betsy taught horticulture. Following their respective passions for developing new spaces and for cooking, the couple became one of the leading proponents of Modern American Cuisine in New Jersey. The restaurant's unique name comes from the title of a Dudley Moore and Peter Cook comedy routine about a restaurant in the Scottish moors that served only Frogs and Peaches (a culinary concept that was never considered for the restaurant!). The restaurant has a wonderful history. It occupies an old industrial building which originally housed the printing presses for the local paper, "The Home News", followed by various types of manufacturing uses, including and lastly a leather suitcase handle factory. Alger and Black purchased the building at 29 Dennis Street in 1980. Our Party Coordinator, Kara Stout, is available to assist guests in making arrangements for special parties and business meetings. Our restaurant design offers a variety of welcoming spaces that can accommodates different size events, from as few as 8 to as large as a 50 person sit-down dinner. We tailor each event to your needs and specifications, providing customized menus with choices from our menu of the season. Our servers are trained to anticipate your every need. They are knowledgeable about our products and eager to make your dining experience a memorable one. All rooms require a minimum number of guests to allow for privacy. We currently use these areas for presentation dinners, business dinners, rehearsal dinners and other special occasions. We have also hosted intimate Wedding Receptions and Ceremonies.
