Grub's Up ?

Seriously, I like Amuse Bouche though, and it's OK to say on the phone.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about the Company Name.
Worry rather about the branding.
Trading Name and Company Name have little need to be the same.

The Alan M Sugar Trading Co Ltd took a while to morph into a plc named after its major (but by no means only) brand.
Similarly, when David Atherthon started Dabs, what do you think the BS stood for?

You can change a company name if you choose to, but its probably a mistake to change a Brand name, if its successful.

BTW gastro literally means tummy upset to a french person... my sister-in-law thought that gastro-pub was taking truth in advertising just too far!

I like the idea of In House, and of Starman, but I haven't combined the two satisfactorily...

Amuse Bouche is gone what do you think of Happy Mouth?

There's a restaurant/Cafe called Mangetout in Southampton already Tahir.
Always makes me think of Del Boy when I hear Mangetout.

the name is important
on a business card ,an advert ,written on a menu card or next to a phone number on a hand it should create a corporate personality that can strongly identify what you do and present it in a favourable way

home cooking

much easier

"charles finds my cookin embarrisin "

really mate ,names matter and the first two of those suggestions are serious if the emoticon is part of the trademark

i thought about a similar thing and i ended up with

supadoopamoos
