Three ways to book us
Draft copy · to confirm with Edgars
Weddings
The full arc of the day — arrival canapés, the seated dinner, the evening food that arrives when the band is halfway through. Plated, family style or feast, built around your menu rather than a package number.
Corporate
Away-days, board lunches, staff celebrations and client evenings. Food that fits a run-sheet: served on the hour it says on the agenda, cleared before the next session starts.
Buffets & delivery
Abundant buffets for community gatherings and milestone celebrations, and weekday lunch sets cooked in the estate kitchen and delivered to businesses nearby — a standing weekly order rather than a one-off.
How the kitchen is organised
Underneath the three ways of booking, the business runs on four service lines. This is the honest structure — worth knowing before you plan around us.
Weddings, private parties, birthdays and corporate events — cooked and served in the estate’s event spaces. Plated, family style or buffet.
Staffed bars run alongside the kitchen, so drinks and food keep the same rhythm through the day.
A mobile kitchen for festivals and outdoor events — the one part of the operation that does travel.
Lunch sets cooked in the estate kitchen and delivered to businesses nearby — a standing weekly order rather than a one-off event. Begins once the estate kitchen arrangement is signed.

The company
Where we cook
We are preparing to work from a kitchen at Catthorpe Towers, on the Leicestershire and Warwickshire border, a few minutes from the M1 and M6. The arrangement is being finalised; we will say more once it is signed.
The estate has ten spaces indoors and out, from a hall for 250 to a lounge for forty — and a Latvian name, Straumēni, that half our guests already know. See the venue.

Where we are now
EFV Catering is a new company, incorporated in July 2026. We are taking enquiries for the 2027 season now, and are available for food truck and bar service at events from autumn 2026. Lunch delivery begins once the estate kitchen arrangement is signed.
We would rather tell you this plainly than let you find out later.
