Nothing quite beats sitting across the table from your loved ones, a complete stranger at a wedding or even your just turned in-laws and sharing a memorable meal.
With 15+ years in the luxury food industry what Chef Lopez catering will bring to your plated meals is a high quality experience you won’t forget.
Our sit down menus have now expanded to fulfil either your traditional single plated meals, from 3 course to 5 course options or our best selling ‘feasting menu’ which allows your guests to choose from a selection of sharing mains and sides. Encasing quality, formality but with a touch of guests feeling like they are truly sharing a moment together.
Our sit down menus can be paired with either of our other service types, from canapes for welcoming guests to self serve for evening food. Covering food for the entire day of your event, Wedding or private party.
