Naming restaurants: have a nibble

Fish and chippies must have the monopoly on wordplay, as shown by ‘The Cod Father’ in this Guardian article on restaurant naming. How about ‘Oh My Cod’, ‘The Fish Plaice’, ‘Codfellas’, ‘Frying Nemo’, ‘Codrophenia’, ‘The Frying Scotsman’, ‘Northern Sole’…ok, ok we’ll stop now. The article does cover much more upmarket venues like the Wolseley and The Fat Duck. We enjoy Bumpkin in Notting Hill, probably because we lead a split urban and countryside life so can appreciate mixing the best of both.
