Absolutely outstading!

Chef Lopez were absolutely amazing. The team were so friendly and helpful, the booking and payment process were seamless and easy, and the food was just phenomenal. My guests talked about the burritos all day. So much food per serving and all so delicious. I couldn't have wanted more. Thank you so much, from one very happy bride and groom.

Great, great, great.

Someone told me this was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Another person is still raging about your bowl food - being your fan is becoming their personality.

The team is flexible, happy to work with you for custom experience.

Chez Lopez On-Site Catering – A Wedding Meal to Remember


We were thrilled to have Chez Lopez cater our wedding, and they truly exceeded our expectations! Despite cooking from their van, they offered an impressive menu with three starter options, three mains, and two desserts, giving our guests plenty of choice.

The food itself was absolutely fantastic. Each starter was full of flavor and beautifully plated, while the main courses catered to various tastes and dietary preferences. The desserts were the perfect sweet finish to an incredible meal.

What really stood out was their attentiveness to guests with allergies and dietary restrictions. Chez Lopez made sure that everyone with special requirements had options they could enjoy, and they took great care in ensuring the food was safe and satisfying for all.

Even though they were cooking from a van, the team was organized and efficient, serving the meal smoothly and professionally. Our guests are still raving about the food, and it really added a special touch to our wedding day.

We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Chez Lopez to anyone looking for excellent food and top-notch service at their event.

Amazing wedding experience.

Again, a massive thank you from all of us. We can confirm that we have settled the invoice. Also to add that, I was sat with my mum and my grandparents, who are the fussiest of diners. They loved the beef, the lamb, the polenta, the miso aubergines. If they are pleased, you guys are definitely doing something right! Including your team, what a breath of fresh air. All smiling genuinely enjoying what they do, calm and professional with my fussy grandad. Everybody couldn’t stop talking about how welcoming, engaging and warm they were with everyone. You probably hear it all the time, but in my 15 years of working in customer service, it’s refreshing to be treated by others as how we would treat people. Thanking you immensely and wishing you all the (deserved) success in your future.

Exceeded our expectations

Wow, Christian and his team really went all out for our special day. I highly recommend Chef Lopez. We went for a more casual wedding meal, Paella & BBQ, with the addition of an evening snack.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
