At Penni Black we love outdoor celebrations and what could be more English than an elegantly catered picnic basket by the river with a glass of Pimms and lemonade? Penni Black has experience in picnic catering to any number of guests, from summer garden parties, large corporate picnics or summer weddings.
Going to the races or the polo? Perhaps spending the day at a festival or watching the rowing? Our picnic hampers are the perfect accompaniment on a balmy summer’s day.
Penni Black picnic hampers are filled with seasonal canapés and main courses and delectable desserts and cheeses and we can include drinks if requested.
If you would like something a little different or you have particular event requirements call us today on 0800 389 6107 to discuss the occasion with professional caterers.
