Penni Black have created a new standard for hot buffet service. Dated and ugly chafing dishes, currently used in various forms by catering companies, just don't offer the right image, so we are pleased to announce the release of the Penni Black Box.
The Penni Black Box is an immaculate black lacquered finish which houses a functional bain-marie that keeps the food hot without drying it out. This is design at its best incorporating quality finish, beauty and functionality, and as these have been made exclusively to Penni Black's design you won't find them anywhere else.
What better way to make your guests feel special than with a hot buffet from Penni Black. Our hot buffet menus have been carefully designed to suit all tastes.
