From the desk of Penelope Alice, Britain’s most fabulous PA: Kia Oval corporate hospitality with Keith Prowse

Summer is so close I can taste it. That’s a figure of speech, of course, but it was literally a reality last night when I had the chance to sample some amazing dishes served at my first sporting event of the season, the Natwest T20 England vs Sri Lanka cricket match, courtesy of my good friends at Keith Prowse.

I’m not totally clued up on the game, but luckily one of the kind gentlemen in my group was on hand to explain what was happening. By the end of the match, I felt like I knew the rules inside out and was really getting into the action. Sadly, our home team couldn’t quite pull through, but it was a decent try anyway.

The large open area encourages people to mingle, while traditional yet comfortable stadium seating at the front offers fantastic views of the action.

The food was to die for. Dinner was an exotic mix of South American dishes, including blackened Brazilian beef with a slightly spicy chimichurri sauce, black-eye bean and vegetable stew, tasty coxinhas, (shredded chicken fried in batter in the shape of an egg) and sweet potato wedges. During a break from play, we were treated to an impressive cheese board and after the game I cheated on my diet with the most amazing beef and Stilton pies around. My drink of choice for the night was a perfect summer cocktail of Pimm’s.

Luckily, there’s a whole season of matches ahead of us, so I’ve still got time to book Mr P and those guests from our Shanghai office in for an evening. If you’re looking for a memorable event you can suggest to your exec, check out the huge selection at keithprowse.co.uk.
