It is never easy naming a restaurant and on this occasion I wanted something that represented our menu that is inspired by historic British gastronomy, so I searched for a name that had a bit of history, but was also fun. 'Dinner' fit the bill perfectly. In the past, the main meal -dinner-was eaten at midday, before it got too dark. But affordable candles and, later, gaslight saw dinner shift. By the mid-1800s people were dining later. People working in the cities were taking a 'lunch' to work and having their main meal at 5.00pm when they got home, while in rural areas the main meal was still taken at midday.
Even today, depending where you are in the British Isles, 'dinner' might be served at lunchtime, suppertime or, indeed, dinnertime!
This made 'Dinner' the natural choice for its typically British quirky history and linguistic playfulness. If nothing else, I hope it's easy to remember.
Growing up I said dinner meaning lunch, and supper meaning dinner. Now I say lunch and dinner, and rarely use supper. My roommate still says dinner meaning the daytime meal and it sometimes causes confusion.
i think maybe tynic wasn't saying duty but was trying to be antisemitic by saying jewty
Hey trying nothing. My antisemitism is top quality.
... I was going to say something much worse but I was reminded of a conversation I had with my friends on Sunday about how now they're all parents we're really going to have to tone down the ironic racism for a few years.

well I've said kin ironically plenty of times, and heard other people as well
but I've never heard anyone in either big southern state use it in serious everyday conversation.
I guess maybe I don't use it either? I've never really thought about it
and I stopped saying supper years ago
i'm pretty sure this works here
it's just being said really fast
well i mean we pronounce it pehd-o-file
and they pronounce it peed-o-file
it's not that they're saying it fast i think
it's just that's how they say it
but yeah maybe the joke could work here i guess
maybe i am just underestimating viewing audiences
but anyway
language is weird, you guys

let your """"""""ironic"""""""""" racism shine
I'm ironically* racist against crwths.
Us colonials are speaking the language of Shakespeare. Yeah, that's right.
American accents are closer to classical pronunciation. Henry V sounded more like Larry the Cable Guy than Patrick Stewart.
WEEP IN DESPAIR.
Why I fear the ocean.
Yeah that's how it is in American English. Is this different Britwise?
a single tear falls
I always thought the US accent came from a sort of bastardised irish accent.

Maybe in some places?
Not really, if I remember right. Although, reading up, Boston and New York accents have diverged along with the British one.
It's the Rs. Americans still get them right. British get them wrong to look classier.
