Inside The New Kettle Drums Restaurant & Bar On Hunter Street

Peterborough has a new Italian restaurant on Hunter Street called Kettle Drums. It is owned by Reg Maranda and Cameron Green, who also own Reggie's Hot Grill in East City and El Camino's downtown (we spotlighted both back in 2010).

Friday night kicked off with a soft opening, while construction is completed on the side patio (which will seat 50) and a few more fine touches inside.

The soft opening gives the staff a chance to iron out the menu, and while not all the options will be available this weekend, there are still plenty of pizzas to try.

There is a very relaxed atmosphere inside, with lovely decor and wall art as well as a small patio out front that will seat 20. Quite a few patrons came to sample the food, and try the beer, cocktails, martinis and wine.

I had a brief moment to chat with Reg while he was zipping to-and-fro, and he mentioned that they were proud with what has come together. They had been working on the plan for this restaurant well before having to close their chip truck, and even snuck the famous Reggie Burger onto the menu.

Drop in this weekend and give one of their pizzas a try (gluten free crust available, too), and shortly thereafter the rest of the menu including the Crispy Sweet Potato Chips—which Reg confesses he likes even better than Reggie's Hotgrill's tasty Sweet Potato Fries.

Habitat For Humanity Peterborough & Match Me Peterborough To Host "Singles Build Day"

Habitat for Humanity Peterborough and Match Me Peterborough have joined forces to create a fun, inspiring fundraising initiative to help those in need in the community—and bring singles together.

It's called "Singles Build Day", and the build date is Friday, August 24th from 8 a.m. to noon or noon to 4 p.m. Organizers encourage singles 35+ to sign up with an unattached single friend of the opposite sex and together raise $150 for the Habitat chapter in Peterborough, which is always looking for more donations, volunteers and applications for homes. 

Singles signing up on their own is also encouraged, and they need to raise $75 each.
 
Match Me Peterborough will be hosting a private party for all the single volunteers that night after the build at a downtown location.

It's a great chance to give back to the community, and maybe find a love match.

For more info on the event, contact Match Me's Rebecca Cooper at 705.931.4721 or email her.
