New restaurant

The double meaning of toasting (as in grilling) and toasting (as in raising a glass) makes it an OK name in my book.


Ultimately we had 10+ pages of people typing the first rubbish that came into their head in the vague hope of a free meal, so don't be surprised if the chosen name isn't exactly brilliant. Garbage in, garbage out.

yep - or Toast meaning 'finished, dead, done for, etc.' as in "That restaurant is Toast."

Well we ate there last night. First impressions are that they've just raised the bar for restaurants in ED. Very short menu, changing daily. Very fresh seafood, lovely meat. Large wine list, and also good value wine on 'tap' (i.e. four huge vats in the dining room). Delicious bread and butter made in-house. Prices were along the lines of Palmerston/Franklins/Crooked Well, which for me makes it somewhere for an occasional treat rather than a regular local. A few things to iron out of course, but it could well become something of a SE London hot spot.

    • I totally agree it just seems that it a thing nowadays.  It must be due to how fireworks are sold. 
    • Well worth a read   https://manchestermill.co.uk/the-men-who-raised-the-flags/
    • If it was limited to a couple of days a year, so we all knew, that would be fine. In the last few years (and it is a recent thing) you get random fireworks going off any time after dusk for half the year. It does more than cause problems for pets and wildlife- it can mean lasting damage and massive expense and hassle for pet owners. All because some get a buzz out of loud bangs.
    • Ohh dear.  Fireworks can be great fun.  Where I used to live the kids would have firework wars/games.  Watching them was more enjoyable than watching  TV. (Which you could hardly hear due to the pops and bangs).  It's not like anyone/anything could stop them. I would still prefer organised public displays that are affordable.   And I agree that fireworks cause problems for wild life, pets and people.   It seems to be one of those things that just happens so we have to put up with it.  But it is still not as problematic here as in other areas in London - that's for sure.
