Buffet Catering by PenniBlack, London
Delicious hot and cold seasonal buffets, perfect for every occasion.
‘Buffet’: one our favourite words in the history of the English language. PenniBlack like to create a party of flavours in your mouth and a buffet gives us, and you, the opportunity to create a spread of hot and cold artisan foods to start that party.
Designed for guests to graze, and be amazed, take your pick here, and over at our 'Finger Food' page. We create buffets for corporate events, Weddings, private parties and other special occasions.
PenniBlack 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 PenniBlack Box.
