Our BBQ hire service extends well beyond Bedford town centre, reaching every charming village along the River Great Ouse and beyond. From the picturesque Bromham with its historic watermill and 26-arch medieval bridge to Clapham Village Hall on the High Street – a fabulous retro-style building that’s hosted countless successful BBQ celebrations with our equipment – we know every corner of the Bedford area like the back of our hand.
Willington holds special appeal with its National Trust Tudor dovecote and the Peace Memorial Hall on Church Road, a perfect venue that can accommodate celebrations of all sizes. Harrold Centre, recently refurbished in 2017, offers a modern bright space with Connolly Hall seating up to 100, while Stevington Village Hall on Court Lane provides rural surroundings with excellent facilities including sports fields – ideal for those big family gatherings.

The riverside villages have their own unique charm. Pavenham, one of Bedford’s smallest villages with just 800 residents, offers quintessential English charm with its thatched cottages and active cricket club. Biddenham provides the perfect blend of village tranquility and modern amenities, while Great Barford and Willington along the Ouse offer stunning riverside settings for outdoor events. Even the tiny Cardington – famous for its massive airship hangars visible for miles – can count on us to navigate their country lanes and deliver on time.
From large-scale events at modern facilities like Kempston and the business parks around Elstow (birthplace of John Bunyan), to intimate garden parties in Ickwell with its ancient cricket green and permanent maypole, or Old Warden near the Shuttleworth Collection, we’ve got the right equipment and local knowledge to make your event special. We understand Bedford’s rhythms – from avoiding Saturday morning Park Run traffic at Bedford Park to timing deliveries around the rowing events on the river. Whether it’s the Grand Hall on Bromham Road, community centres in the suburbs, or any of the beautiful village greens that dot our landscape, we’re not just delivering equipment – we’re part of making your local celebration unforgettable
