About Us
ChopUp was born out of a legacy of entrepreneurship, a deep love for food, and the desire to share culture through every bite. As sisters raised in a family of diverse entrepreneurs, successful across several sectors, food being one of them, we grew up understanding that food is more than just a meal. For us, it’s connection, identity, and celebration.
When we moved to London, we saw a gap. In a city known for its cultural variety, authentic, high-quality West African food that’s convenient and workplace-friendly was surprisingly hard to come by, especially for busy professionals and students like us. Having worked in the hospitality industry, we recognised the need for inclusive, easy-to-eat, well-packaged meals that seamlessly fit into everyday life. That inspired us to coin the concept of FlexiFood: meals made for movement, portable, practical, and perfect for offices, universities, gyms, and beyond. So, we set out to change that.
We launched ChopUp with one mission: to make easy, culturally rich food accessible in modern, grab-and-go formats. We started by introducing our Brunch Club a curated dining experience featuring Nigerian shawarma wraps, plantain waffles, bean fritters, and plant-based beverages like Kunu Aya (tiger nut milk) and Zobo in bold, refreshing flavours. All our offerings are crafted with tradition but made for today’s pace of life.

Social CLUB
Born from a deep love for food, culture and community, ChopUp was created by two sisters on a mission to serve the bold, nostalgic flavors of home with a modern, intentional twist. What started with late-night ideas and childhood cravings turned into a full-blown brand rooted in entrepreneurship, shared experiences, and meaningful connections.
Our Brunch Club is more than just a meal; it’s a curated space where culture, conversation, and community collide. Think of it as an intimate Saturday affair where you don’t just come to eat but to connect.
