New restaurant

[Alec John Moore]

One day, soon I hope, this thread will be toast!

[UncleBen]

Toast always gets burned

[Loz]

Sounds like a place to go for breakfast, like the Boiled Egg and Soldiers in Clapham.

[Mick Mac]

Has it ever been confirmed that it is linked to terroir / soif ? other than the comemnt about registered office

Lots of things get toasted in a kitchen, not just bread, right?

Peppers, nuts, spices yadda yadda

[the-e-dealer]

And you Toast the Bride at a wedding but she doesnt get burnt!

[Jeremy]

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.

.. and if you drink several bottles, you'll end up feeling nicely toasted.

[the-e-dealer]

I'll drink to that!

confirmed by whom EP? Has it been confirmed by the owners? (dont want to read 13 pages... :) )

Might not mean Toast as in burnt bread.

Might be a Toast as in a ritual in which a drink is taken as an expression of honor or goodwill.

The term may be applied to the person or thing so honored,

To Toast to ones Health.

Fox..

[the-e-dealer]

oh yeah ! :-) you are clever fox.

[Jeremy]

Regular genius.

[Sue]

Don't be mean to Foxie :))

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

Great minds think alike Jeremy. You and foxy on the same trail again.

[Jeremy]

So, how was it?

[Jeremy]

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.
