PenniBlack delights guests with Harvest Moon concept dining launch at Kachette
Culinary concept caterer PenniBlack launched its Autumn and Winter concept at Shoreditch hot spot Kachette, on Tuesday. 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. Enveloped in Harvest Moonlight, created by Halo Lighting, guests were offered a choice of 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. A QR code led guests to the menu of delicacies served by waiting staff attired in grey collarless shirts and simple makeup 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 divinely decorated platters with autumnal leaves.Awaiting guests in the right arch were several Harvest Moon Bounty Boards groaning 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. Against a background of hooting owls, crying wolves and violinist supremo Matthew Glossop playing classical Vivaldi’s Autumn, and other pieces, beautifully interspersed with music from DJ Mike Roberts.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 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.”As a final hurrah PenniBlack and Halo Lighting are offering a 10% discount to anyone who books an event for 2025 by the end of October.Charlotte finished by saying “We couldn’t have done it without our collaborators and a big thank you goes to all of them: Halo Lighting, Studio 68B, Bloomsbury Event Group, Ya Hire, Big Wednesday PR, Let’s Grow and Kershaw Partners.”
