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


The Mustard Seed?


We will have exciting wines to either drink in house or take home...


Vin extra-ordinaire?


The menus will be small(at least at first), but will change regularly...


Le petit Bistro?


There won't be an ethnic background in the food...


Cuisine du Monde?

Your description seems quite vague to be honest - what's your mission? what feelings or characteristics do you want people to associate with your restaurant? What's your style? What words will people use to describe your place? What values do you stand for? What other restaurants/businesses/brands do you want to be similar to?


It seems to me like you maybe need to put some time and effort into developing an overall brand for the restaurant, and then a name will follow naturally - or at least having a more developed brand ethos will enable you to put together a better brief which will mean you'll get better name suggestions from this forum. I'm sure there's lots of info online about how to develop a brand.

Not being able to think of a name does suggest a certain lack of imagination.


Let's hope all the available imagination is being saved-up for the food.



Nothing wrong with drumming-up a bit of pre-opening publicity in this manner, but I wouldn't milk it for too long, lest the milk starts to sour.

Apologies to the OP for coming off as hugely patronising; that was not my intention. But I stand by the fact that the description given is very vague and really doesn't give any direction as to the style or branding of this restaurant.


All it says is that the business is starting small and hoping to grow, there will be good food and wine with regularly changing menus, there will be no particular ethnic focus but the food will be made from high quality, well sourced ingredients. All of that sounds brilliant but it's a description that would fit a lot of restaurants and doesn't define anything about the restaurant's character or styling.


It can be difficult to look at your own project objectively, and given that the OP is asking for names on the local forum it's fair to guess that they might not have developed a branding strategy yet. Frankly, my post was a lot more constructive than the others in this thread suggesting names like 'Fellatios' and 'Perineum'.

      Recommendation for Silver Fern Landscapes

      By masc212 · Posted

      I just want to add another recommendation for Jan and Silver Fern Landscapes.  He and his team recently replaced one of our fences that was falling apart and did a great job.  Communication was really good and Jan was really helpful with advice on options - he was also really accommodating as I wanted to paint the fence panels before they were installed so he arranged delivery early so I had time to do that.  The work was completed quickly and the new fence looks fantastic. https://www.silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html

      All good to hear. Cheers BNG If I’m honest, those fliers give off very bland corporate energy   also. Shouldn’t it be a relaunch party instead of a launch party?    hopefully I’m wrong and it’s great

      The good news is that the Blythe's new leaseholder is Austin Whelan, who runs a chain of very decent Irish pubs, mainly in south London. By all accounts, he has no intention of making any major changes. It reopened last week.

      A builder said that to me once! What I should have said (but thought of it too late) was that given that I was paying him to do a job, I expected that my glass would be full, not half full 🤣 But yes, you are right in this instance!
