History

Welcome to the online home of BJ Bakery and Catering Services.


  Layby is situated outside the shop


We are a local Bakery based in Blidworth, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire
BJ Bakery is dedicated to providing freshly cooked food daily. All our bread is baked using traditional methods from a family bakery based in Derbyshire for over 80 years. We have a commitment to freshness and quality that you would expect from a village bakery with a strong community base.

We cook everything in the shop.

Our boiled ham is particularly renowned, with a traditional texture and flavour that only  comes from truly fresh meat. Similarly all our other meats, pork, beef and turkey, are  roasted daily in our own kitchen to guarantee quality. All our eggs are free-range and  sourced from an accredited farm in North Leicestershire.

We offer a wide range of: 

Bread and loaves
Hot and cold sandwiches and rolls

We understand that when you need an outside caterer, it’s for a very special occasion. It might be for a birthday or an anniversary. Maybe you are trying to impress some new clients or reinforce a relationship with your existing clients at a presentation; either way, it’s a unique, one-off event. 


That’s why we ensure that we only use the freshest ingredients and prepare them on the day of your event. More than that, we believe that every buffet we provide is our chance to impress, and our business is built purely on personal recommendation from delighted clients.  We are more than happy to supply our list of current and past clients as referees to any prospective new customer. We don’t provide a few carefully chosen testimonials, we will let you talk to any of our clients. 


Because every event is unique, our menus are there to act as a guide. We discuss in detail, the exact requirements of every client so the range we deliver is what you want.  For example, vegetarian and vegan sections are a particular speciality; where roasted mediterranean vegetables served on ciabatta bread with goats cheese can be included AT NO EXTRA COST!  We even have one client that has sausage and marmalade sandwiches!   Please ask and we will be pleased to help – Bev & Mark
