Rubrik London Office Launch
PenniBlack delivered the catering, branded styling and full front-of-house for the launch of Rubrik's new London office, welcoming 120 guests across a full day of breakfast, speeches and lunch.
Guests arrived in the City to blue spirulina ginger shots and a hot and cold breakfast, followed by a ribbon cutting, Champagne toast and lunch service running through to mid-afternoon.
Every element was built around the Rubrik brand, with teal, white and silver carried from the balloon arch and table styling through to the food, mocktails, napkins, coasters and individual dessert boxes.
With 120 guests and a brief covering dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, nut-free and Halal requirements, the menu was designed so dietary requirements felt considered rather than accommodated.
Two full services. One room. One team. Everything cleared and reset by 4pm.

Design & Styling
The Rubrik brand ran through the room without making the office feel overly corporate.
Buffet and bar stations were dressed in pearl grey for breakfast and teal for lunch, using white and glass risers, clear acrylic blocks and silver trays to create different heights across the food displays.
Oversized glass hurricane vases filled with hydrangeas, lemons and limes anchored the stations, with smaller bud vases carried across six poseur tables. A balloon arch in Rubrik's colours and a freestanding welcome sign marked the entrance, with branded ribbon and scissors ready for the official opening.
The detail continued throughout: branded napkins, coasters and menu cards with full allergen information; white cocktail straws, teal cupcake cases and white staff aprons behind the bar. Teal appeared in the breakfast shots and again in the signature lunch mocktail, carrying the brand through the food and drink as well as the styling.
Front of house was covered end to end by PenniBlack — event manager, chefs, waiting staff, bar team and cloakroom — with breakfast set and served, the room turned for lunch, the second service delivered and everything fully cleared within the day.
