New restaurant

Recommended Posts

there is a small caf? in St Mary's on the Isles of Scilly called 'Dibble and Grub' always loved the name (food great as well - the view is also amazing!!!!)

I think the name comes from a children's programme, Camberwick Green? They were the names of the Fire Men - I think?

Roots & Shoots?

Flora & Fauna?

Hi guys


Looking forward to seeing the new place!


I've worked on naming projects before so was wondering whether you're following the strategy for the other places in the group? If so, you'd need a wine-inspired name. How about these?


BARRIQUE (the classic Bordeaux barrel)

METHUSELAH (like 'Balthazar')

HEAVY TOAST (my personal favourite because it sounds slick and distinctive and appeals to the senses)


Otherwise, how about THE FRENCH PARADOX?


In case you don't know, it's the phenomenon whereby the French seem to live longer and have better health despite indulging in rich food and wine. As the name for a restaurant, it's an intriguing story.


I would steer well clear from any puns or Dulwich-related names as these are naff in the extreme.

In particular, anything containing a postcode just makes it sound like an empty nightclub from a 90's soap.


Not sure about "Heavy Toast" either, but just "Toast" sounds OK.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
