Selected guests were invited to preview the latest car in the fine Lexus range, at not just one showroom but three in and around London.

The new Lexus is dubbed “The world’s first luxury compact hybrid” and the advertising campaign features the beautiful Kylie Minogue. Penni Black had the task of creating exciting and imaginative food to match with sushi demonstrations and Japanese inspired canapés.

The sushi demonstration bars were sparkling with crushed ice highlighted by blue lights to match the Lexus corporate colours and the Penni Black team provided the perfect ingredients with a select range of canapés to tempt the buyers,  washed down with  Asahi beer and bubbles.

A long day for the Penni Black Team but the plan came together and we loved it!
