A little bit about us

At Green & Fortune, we don’t do catering. We do moments. Memories. True hospitality from expert hands. Custom, quality, never cookie cutter.

Proudly independent and established in 2008, we bring nearly 20 years of successful events, strong partnerships, and countless moments of high-quality hospitality.

We are hands-on operators, creating tailored hospitality experiences across restaurants, cafés, bars, event venues, and workplace buildings in London.

Hospitality is about more than what’s on the menu. It’s about delivering the best experiences, the best produce, and the best moments to every guest. We are hosts, chefs, mixologists, and marketeers. Front of house and behind the scenes. Producers of unforgettable events and champions of London’s best suppliers.

We know hospitality is more than a job. It’s a lifestyle, a passion, and a vocation. That’s why we build teams who care deeply about service and take pride in creating exceptional experiences. Our team of industry experts supports and empowers every employee to grow and thrive.

Sustainability runs through everything we do, from gate to plate sourcing to reducing waste and supporting our communities. We cook seasonal, thoughtful food and care for our planet in the same way we care for our people.
