The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. A summer barbecue in Bachelor's Bump stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:00pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Gather dietary requirements early

Bachelor's Bump questions
Can you do a barbecue in Speckled Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Bachelor's Bump from London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Will children like the BBQ?
Typically, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
Why choose BBQ catering in Bachelor's Bump?
Next to a buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

About the food
Beef brisket
Brisket makes a barbecue feel like a proper meal, especially at a wedding or work event.
BBQ ribs

The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A clear way in from where we park
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
