New restaurant

[stacey-lyn]

Dear Hazle and Alex,

Since you mention your menu on page 5, as an aside, will there be varied and interesting vegetarian and gluten free options?

Please?

[londoner_77]

How about L'Oie - French for The Goose! :-)

Can you actually have varied and interesting vegetarian and gluten free food?

[James]

Obviously yes. Considering the thousands of different kinds of fruit, vegetables, dairy and non-animal products in the world. You'll also have the benefit of being healthier and probably living longer... but forgive me, I digress.

Just because so many chefs' imaginations run no further than a mushroom risottos or goat's cheese tart.

The Abbott-oir?

btw Heavy Toast sounds like the name of a band that would open for Spinal Tap

[mark88]

Table and Bar

[charliecharlie]

METHUSELAH also sounds like a heavy metal band

inc Parradox... which would make a great name for a band... but not a very restauranty feel

in fact all of your suggestions sound a bit rock band-ish..

was that what you naming projects were for James?

[Huggers]

Black and Blue

[JMT]

The Fat Goose - bit too Heston?

The Lord's table - bit too Biblical?

Fun competition though. Looking forward to it opening. Any opening date?

Now interest has been aroused it's time to make a killing vis your captive audience - 'The Forum'.

[Hazleharman]

Yes we totally agree!!!

We have seen every single idea you have posted and there a quite a few that we like.

Over the next few days we will be talking about it and will hopefully have a name confirmed by the end of the week.

Really grateful of everyone's response.

Kind regards

Hazle and Alex

Taste Dulwich.

[El Pibe]

Just bear in mind that the moment you announce the name, everyone will hate it.

This has no bearings on reality or how it will be received in RL.

Enjoy and best of luck you babe brave folk.

Braavenvolk?

[JMT]

Have to admit, I LOVED the idea of calling it 'Crushed and Devalued'. So insider EDForum.

Also liked the idea of borrowing from its history. Well researched.

The New Green and Blue also has to be one of my faves. Ironically pretentious.

And the menu? Veg & GF?

[Hazleharman]

We will be able to cater for vegetarian and gluten free and any other allergies.

Dill or No Dill?

"We are starting off small but have massive plans to grow as a restaurant within itself.?"

The Tardis

[Bozza]

The King and I

Nappy Valley

[Treeviews]

Lord Goose

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Gillyflower.

John K will explain the historical connection if you smile sweetly at him - it's too technical for me.

[steveo]

Eight/nine pages of suggestions. That suggests two things:

That Hazle is a very slick marketeer

And that forumites will do anything for a free meal

[gregson74]

What about

Hazlex

Or The Hazlex

[DiD]

Fayre = evokes the local, celebratory

Imbibe -- sort of the same, but with booze

small animals and flowers also work -- the Red Squirrel? Alliums -- starts with an a, from the garlic and onion family...Poppy, just cause I like them.

Or choose a local weed that people like to eat & seem to be willing to pay a fortune for(vs. smoke, though who knows?) -- Horse Radish ;)
