After our success at the 2008 awards Penni Black were delighted to be awarded the catering contract for The Exhibition News Awards 2009. This year was bigger and better with 550 guests at IndigO2 in the O2.
Service had to be slick and quick with the crème de la crème of the events and exhibition industry as guests, and so much to cram in the evening with the awards and performances from The Bootleg Beatles and Elysium and more.
To commemorate St. George's Day we served an English inspired menu treated to the Penni Black touch.
