The 12 Plates of Christmas


We may be only just be saying goodbye to our summer tans and flip flops but in the words of Bing Crosby, ‘it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ at the PenniBlack Headquarters. Our kitchens are wafting the festive aroma of mulled wine and cinnamon whilst Clove hang thick in the air as the first Mince Pies of the season are pulled from our Ovens.



Deep in the workshop our PenniBlack elves have been busy creating a mouth-watering festive menu based on one of the most famous Christmas ditties, ‘the 12 days of Christmas!’





‘The 12 plates of Christmas’ is designed to bring the essence of Christmas to your party. Imagine, a plump partridge served with thyme glazed pears, beer battered golden onion rings with a stilton dip, calling bird pies of turkey, ham and cranberry puffs and Chantilly Cream piped over a Black Forest Brownie and a kirsch cream. More plentiful and sociable than a fixed menu, there are '12 Plates of Christmas' on which to feast, and no limit to the festive fun.

So let us round up our leaping lords and ladies dancing to serve you that Christmas meal that not even your true love can dream to give you!
