Culinary concept caterer PenniBlack launched its Autumn & Winter concept at Shoreditch hot spot Kachette earlier this month on 10 September.
Enveloped in Harvest Moonlight, created by Halo Lighting, a hundred corporate bookers and event agents from firms including Orange, Sugar & Rind and Snook were immersed in a sensory experience from the moment they stepped into the venue.
Guests were offered the delectable ‘Autumn Orchard Fizz’ mocktail, or the whisky based ‘Honey Loves Pit,’ the English sparkling based ‘Kent 75’ or a refreshing ‘Cucumber Martini. Smokey aroma bubbles were added at guests’ request adding to the magical nature of the night.
Against a screen backdrop of a full moon, hooting owls and crying wolves where several Harvest Moon Bounty Boards filled with smokey boar bao buns with apple sauce and crackling pots, failed harvest charcoal buns with smoked chicken, micro rocket and lemon and chive mayo, and pumpkin and goats cheese half-moon pasties, to name but three.
Whilst listening to violinist supremo Matthew Glossop playing classical Vivaldi’s Autumn and other pieces, alongside music from DJ Mike Roberts, guests could enjoy the autumnal richness of the event complimented by the warmth of the rustic arches of the venue.
A QR code led guests to the menu of delicacies served by waiting staff offering corn chowder in a crusty charcoal loaf with corn ribs, pumpkin risotto, popcorn cauli with deep fried olives, and as a sweet treat, farmer Macdonald’s apple pie with a honey mead shot all served on Ya Hire’s platters decorated with autumnal leaves.
Lucinda Baldwin from Orange Events said: “It’s such a magical concept, PenniBlack has really delivered. The food, drinks, styling and music choice are all uniquely distinctive.
“I feel I’ve been transported into another world. This isn’t just a showcase, it’s a PenniBlack showcase.”
Culinary concept creator and PenniBlack CEO Charlotte Penniceard said: “I wanted to show our guests how PenniBlack has matured. It’s not just theming, it’s about a whole concept which takes events to the next level.
“I’m really happy with how it was received and the lovely comments I’ve had both personally and on social media.”
Charlotte added: “We couldn’t have done it without our collaborators and a big thank you goes to Halo Lighting, Studio 68B, Bloomsbury Event Group, Ya Hire, Big Wednesday PR, Let’s Grow and Kershaw Partners.”
As a special offer, PenniBlack and Halo Lighting are extending a 10% discount to anyone who books an event for 2025 by the end of October.
