Rob Caribbean Jerk on Specials

We are always excited to share new finds - come and welcome Conor to Balsham. He brings a huge repertoire along with him and a well-earned following.

To celebrate our late summer, Rob will be treating us to his Caribbean infuenced Jerk Specials Board - which has become a bit of a secret signature sauce of his.

What a combo!

Black Bull Balsham
Caribbean Barbecue Returns
THIS Saturday 25th July

Rob's Caribbean BBQ Menu has been released - see below!

Rob can't wait to take himself back to his Mustique Island Cotton House Hotel days. Donning his shades and shorts and firing up the bbq. We might be missing the sand and the sea, but the fine summer weather continues and have everything else.

We will of course also be showcasing Rob's cocktail find again - Nine Isles Caribbean gin - see below - and be indulging in Rob's Mustique Island playlist.

Book a table below to join the beach party!

(Loud shirts and sunnies recommended but optional)
Space for this event is always tight so BOOKINGS STONGLY ADVISED. We will try to fit in walk-ins on the night around the booked tables but no promises - would hate to disappoint.

We were delighted to host a wonderful Balsham Ascot Ladies Fundraiser for Breast Cancer Now

And thank you to Rob for putting himself forward, and the Black Bull Team for raising an extra £520 for the charity by auctioning a private chef dinner experience for six.
