Formerly, picnic meant a potluck, an entertainment at which each person contributed some dish to a common table for all to share. The first usage of the word was traced to a 16th century French text, describing a group of people dining in a restaurant who brought their own wine. The word picnic is based on the verb piquer which means 'pick' or 'peck' with the rhyming nique meaning "thing of little importance".

As far as "fine dining" goes, there are multiple ways of setting a table, thus there are many different sets of sivlerware.  The American Standard at a nice restaurant/banquet is to have two forks on the left (One slightly smaller than the other) and the two spoons and the knife on the right of the plate. The smaller of the two forks is used for the salad, and is always the fork on the farthest side (using the american standard.)\n\nYes, the forks differ other than size. One of the prongs on the salad fork usually resembles a tooth pick so you can grab the food that always slips away... like tomatoes.

How about looking at www.confetti.co.uk - although it's initially for wedding information, it shows venue information.  Otherwise try looking at Square Meal on the internet at the venues they have listed.  Top Table might be useful too although I think that might be more for restaurants.  Good luck - hope you find somewhere great and have a brilliant night!
