Name that place

[lottie dolly]

Went into town today,and had to look twice,a coffee /cafe,with the name THE SLUG AND LETTUCE,i had to laugh,and it seemed fairly busy to,i wonder what made them think that one up,
Anyone know of more hmm,unusual names.

Slug & Lettuce is a chain of "gastro" pubs I think.

Whenever I fly out of Stansted I'm always intrigued by this place...

[lynda66]

theres one of them in manchester, never fancied eating there, in case they don't wash the salad

Not a cafe, but a clothes shop in a Singapore shopping mall ...

[lottie dolly]

never seen it before,thats funny wayne,i bet it raises a giggle every time you see it,what ever it is in leicester,it was outside as well as in,new to me,it really tickled me.

Not a shop, but we have a tiny place near us called 'Grunty Fen' - always raises a smile here!

There was once a hairdressers called Curl up & Dye!

The Slug and Lettuce in Leicester is a good one, they do really good bread and olive plates...I've mystery shopped quite a few and that was one of the best.

We have an estate agents near us called Doolittle and Dalley.

[lottie dolly]

there are certainly some very funny names,
doolittle and dalley i believe have an office in the brum area,the name rings a bell from when we went house hunting a few years back over that way.
Sounds like you been to leicester zazen,mistery shopped ?
have heard of the hair dresser's one before,but you tend to forget,until reminded,i suppose if we looked in phone book at the pups,it would raise a laugh as well.
anyhooo it's good to have something to giggle about.

[digthatchick]

You're right about Doolittle and Dalley Lottie, It's in Kidderminster (Near Brum)

[lottie dolly]

were were[not now]searching from that far south up to wolverhampton,and in a bit towards brum,but could not find anywhere with a big enough garden,or that we liked,just could not get the feel,and we had a cach in bank buyer at the time,ggrr,so we gave up and decided to stay put.

[HeyWayne]

Not necessarily funny - but genius in terms of naming. We had a pub in Luton once called "The Office".

"Where have you been all this time?"

"At the office love"

Our dentist is called El - Nashar

Hi Lottie - yes we come to Leicester every now and then. We actually had our first date in the Cafe Bruxelles 4 and a bit years ago and went back there on Sunday to reminisce...but it was rubbish. We had a book token from Borders and the Leicester one is the nearest so that's why we came over. I did a mystery shop at a coffee shop while we were there anyway so it paid for the petrol.
