Daniel O'Regan

Founder
BANK (Restaurant), Lapin (Restaurant), Notes on a Napkin (Substack)
I’m Dan O’Regan, a Bristol restaurateur and co-owner of BANK and Lapin. BANK is our live-fire, contemporary spot in Totterdown. Lapin is a modern French bistro in Wapping Wharf. I care about two things in equal measure: delicious, seasonal cooking and hospitality that makes people feel at ease. Day to day I work on menu strategy, wine pricing, service standards, and building teams who deliver genuine warmth without the starch. I write a newsletter, Notes on a Napkin, where I share the unvarnished realities of the trade. I speak on panels about happy workplaces and sustainable margins, and I’m available for expert comment on service culture, staffing, pricing, reservation strategy, wine lists, and independent restaurant growth.
