Much like the TARDIS, this place appears small from the outside but inside, contains every conceivable sort of barbecue. Not that the TARDIS does that, but still. And not only that, a very helpful man... See more

The barbecue arrived in individual…

The barbecue arrived in individual pieces, it is a massive understatement when they say it requires assembly on arrival, it actually requires total assembly of all parts down to every nut and bolt, even all the gas burners require assembling. Bedfordshire BBQ centre customer service are very unhelpful and insist this is clear on their website, but it is NOT.

Hi Darren,

We are sorry to hear that you struggled building your BBQ.
We do offer a build and deliver service which Is mentioned in the Delivery section. This is also the section that describes how the BBQ would be delivered.

Your BBQ like most was delivered on a Pallet. I know this was your first annoyance. I sent you an email personally showing you the 3-4 different points where we both display a ‘Pallet delivery’ Icon and also describe the pallet delivery service so that you could see that we in no way tried to hide this.
I think in hindsight you would have been better contacting us about the build and deliver service which we also describe in both the T&Cs and delivery details section. You read and understood these before making your purchase.

The time stamps for your order are

Order Sunday 21/05/2023 @0813
Order Dispatch 22/05/2023 for delivery within 48hrs
Dispatch email sent 22/05/2023 with dispatch information.

From what I can see we have done everything correctly from our end. For Balance here is a couple of reviews from customers who purchased the same Model

Obviously there is always 2 sides to every story. Either way we hope you can now enjoy your BBQ now you have built it.

Kind regards
Paul Cobban

Slow

When placed my order in January there was no mention of the item being out of stock. (As it was clearly mentioned on other supplier websites).

When the order was placed I was then informed that the item was on back order and it should be in for March.

When chased in March (several times) the delivery was pushed back again and a refund offered.

On chasing again I finally had some good customer service and the item was received in late-May.

Not ideal given it was a gift for a 50th birthday that was at the end of January..

Customer Service As It Should Be

Ordered a BBQ from them based on a reasonable price and the free delivery, plus also local. Was amazed by the communication about delivery including an estimated time and a call on the day to re-confirm the time of delivery. You're dealing with a proper customer service company!

Fantastic service and product

The quality barbecue we bought, arrived without fuss and on time. The kerbside delivery on a pallet was perfect, with a vey accommodating delivery operative moving it on a “pump truck” to exactly where we needed it to be for assembly. Despite the rather scary number of parts to put together, my clever daughter and I spent a happy couple of hours following the clear instructions and having no screws or bolts left over!
Overall I cannot be critical in any way for the quality of service or product, I thoroughly recommend the Bedfordshire Barbecue Centre

Great Service

Easy ordering process, bbq as described and arrived well packed with quick delivery.
Good quality and fairly easy to put together.
Only issue was tracking link didn't work so I couldn't check when it was going to be delivered.

Fantastic purchase!!!

Fantastic purchase, fantastic courier, fantastic delivery, fantastic customer service and fantastic price!! they way all companies should be. such a pleasurable experience.

Had my eye on a new CHAR-Broil BBQ for some time and after doing all my research I found BedsBBQ, they were by far the most competitively priced and a pleasure to do business with, I've referred them to my friends and look forward to make additional purchases in the future, I highly recommend them.
