Event Catering at Our London Venues

Catering by Mayfair Catering – Our Group Partner Since 1998

Catering at every Cavendish Venues event is provided by our group catering partner, Mayfair Catering – one of London's longest-established sustainable event caterers, working alongside our venues since 1998. Because Mayfair Catering is a group business rather than a bought-in contract caterer, the standards, the sourcing and the team are consistent from booking to booking, and from venue to venue.

92% Rate Our Food Very Good or Excellent

92% of respondents to our most recent food and beverage survey rated the food Very Good or Excellent. Ingredients are sustainably sourced and organic where possible, and menus can be tailored to any dietary or religious requirement – including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal and kosher.

Boardroom & Reception Canapés by City Canapé Company

For smaller-scale boardroom canapés or a reception drop, our sister brand City Canapé Company handles rapid delivery into the City of London – typically 10 to 15 minutes from kitchen to boardroom, by cargo bike. That means no soggy pastry and no wilted herbs on arrival. City Canapé Company operates as a direct-order service alongside the full Mayfair Catering menu, and is the natural fit for London drinks receptions.

Wine and Drinks, Including Our London Cru Partnership

On the drinks side, our partnership with London Cru – London's original urban winery – lets us pour wines made in London itself. It's a distinctive touch for events looking for a local hook, and it aligns with our approach to sourcing.

B Corp Certified – Verified Sustainability in Every Menu

Sustainability is verified, not claimed. Cavendish Venues is the only specialist conference and meeting venue operator in London to hold B Corp certification, and how we cater – where ingredients come from, how waste is managed, what goes onto delegates' plates – is a big part of that. It's also why we took Silver for Sustainability at the 2026 Conference & Events Awards.
