Green & Fortune Named Event Caterer of the Year at the Foodservice Cateys 2026

At 20 Cavendish Square, we know that exceptional events are about more than great spaces and seamless delivery. The food, service and hospitality experience are often what guests remember long after the event has finished.

That’s why we’re thrilled to congratulate our exclusive catering partner, Green & Fortune, on being named Event Caterer of the Year at the prestigious Foodservice Cateys 2026. The award recognises excellence in event catering and celebrates businesses that consistently deliver outstanding hospitality experiences.

A Well-Deserved Industry Recognition

The judges praised Green & Fortune for an exceptional year that combined strong commercial growth, innovation and a continued commitment to quality. During the last year, the company delivered almost 2,000 events across its portfolio of venues, achieved significant revenue growth and secured major new contracts, including a landmark 10-year hospitality partnership with London Museum.

What particularly impressed the judges was the company’s ability to balance commercial success with a genuine commitment to sustainability. This included achieving B Corp certification and continuing to champion responsible sourcing through its unique supply chain, which includes its own 288-acre farm in Northumberland.

For those of us lucky enough to work alongside the team every day, the award comes as no surprise.

Raising the Bar for Event Catering at 20 Cavendish Square

Earlier this year, 20 Cavendish Square welcomed Green & Fortune as our exclusive catering and hospitality partner, bringing together two organisations that share a passion for delivering exceptional experiences.

Since joining the venue, the team has introduced a fresh and thoughtful approach to hospitality. Their seasonal menus, commitment to provenance and focus on outstanding guest service have quickly become a valued part of the experience we offer clients hosting conferences, meetings, networking receptions, awards dinners and corporate events in central London.

As a B Corp-certified hospitality company, Green & Fortune combines sustainability with creativity, ensuring that great food and responsible business practices go hand in hand. Their philosophy centres around three simple principles: people, product and personality. It’s an approach that perfectly complements the values of 20 Cavendish Square.

Meet the Chef Behind the Magic

An important part of what makes the hospitality offering at 20 Cavendish Square so special is the expertise of Manuel Martin, Green & Fortune’s Head Chef at the venue.

With a career spanning prestigious kitchens and experience working alongside legendary chef Albert Roux, Manuel brings a wealth of knowledge, creativity and leadership to every event. His culinary philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: use exceptional seasonal ingredients, respect their provenance and let the produce speak for itself.

Originally trained in classical French techniques and inspired by his Spanish heritage, Manuel has developed a cooking style that blends traditional foundations with modern influences from around the world. His menus are rooted in seasonality, sustainability and flavour, with every dish designed to create memorable guest experiences.

Speaking about his role at the RCN and 20 Cavendish Square, Manuel highlighted the importance of fresh, seasonal ingredients, balanced flavours and hospitality that puts guests at the centre of every decision. Whether catering for a board meeting, conference, drinks reception or gala dinner, his focus remains the same: delivering food that is approachable, memorable and genuinely enjoyable.

As Manuel puts it:

“Good cooking isn’t about being a professional chef. It’s about caring for your ingredients, taking your time, and cooking with passion.”

His commitment to excellence, teamwork and continuous improvement reflects the wider culture that has helped make Green & Fortune one of London’s most respected hospitality businesses.

Looking Ahead

This latest award marks another exciting milestone for Green & Fortune, but it’s also a celebration of the talented people behind the business. From chefs and front-of-house teams to event managers and hospitality professionals, the award recognises the dedication, creativity and attention to detail that go into every event.

We are incredibly proud to have Green & Fortune as our catering partner and look forward to continuing our journey together.

Congratulations to the entire team on this fantastic achievement and a very well-deserved recognition from the hospitality industry’s most respected awards programme.
