Chef Lopez helped in creating a wonderful 30th Birthday experience for my wife. He was professional, but also very relaxed and friendly. The food was amazing, and I would definitely recommend. It’s a matter of “when” we use again, as opposed to “if”!!! More...

Chef Lopez provided an amazing homing dining experience for me and my new wife! Great way to start married life with a a wonderfully cooked three course meal, with great presentation and explanation of each dish. The chef cleaned everything after the meal meaning we could just sit down and relax, a nice novelty! We would definitely be recommending him to all of our friends and family. More...

Wow! Chef Lopez’s food is absolutely amazing, some of the best that we have ever had. Really easy to organise and arrived perfectly on time. He was very friendly and fun to chat to but also not intruding at all and allowed you to enjoy your time alone. We had an absolutely fantastic anniversary and would definitely recommend chef Lopez to everyone. More...

Chef was amazing from the get go. Great food, bursting with flavour and presentation. Talked us through each course of the 4 courses and was accommodating to requests as well. Left the kitchen looking as good as new when he left and really made for an incredibly memorable evening. I couldn’t recommend Chef Lopez enough, what a great night! Thank you Chef! More...

Thank you Christian for making my wife’s 40th birthday meal happen when we were still stuck in lockdown! Food was wonderful and beautifully presented, and the whole experience really was better than going to a restaurant. Dishes were served to us and the kitchen was left clean and everything washed up. Highly recommend - made our night really special. More...

What’s your signature dish?
I would not say that I have a specific signature dish as I do like to experiment but I am a big fan of seasonal fresh produce and I always try to source as local as possible.
However, I got to say that my Paella is just GREAT!
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
First I like to get to know my clients so I can get an understanding of their preferred foods and their needs and from that point I can either Taylor a menu or create a new one completely personalised to them. I also like to show people new foods that they may not have tried before but they will end up loving :)
Making a menu is like art just need to keep tweaking until you create a master piece.
What do you love most about your job?
There is no better feeling than putting smiles on peoples faces through food.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been a chef for over 17 years.
Working in some of the best restaurants and hotels that London has to offer. After heading many of this restaurants, I knew it was my time to start my own venture and make my own path in the hospitality sector.
Why should our clients choose you?
I will offer a personalised experience with an amazing menu that they will always remember.
