Christian is an amazing chef! Not only that, he's a very nice and genuine person. Upon meeting him to get a quote to cater our wedding, my husband and I both knew right off the bat that we wanted him to cater, even without a tasting. On the day of the wedding, we were so happy that we chose to go with him. Not only was the food beyond delicious, he cooked it all during the recent PG&E power outage! Talk about a true professional! He didn't let that deter him at all. If you need a wonderful chef that truly cares about his craft and his customers, look no further than Christian. You'll be so happy that you did! More...

We attended the Widder's Ball in Anderson this past Saturday and the food was catered by Bachman's Wholesome Catering Co. It was without a doubt the BEST foot and presentation I have ever had the pleasure of indulging in in the 30+ years I have been attending Widder's Balls all over CA . If you EVER are in need of a wonderful caterer you need to contact Christian. He will make your event one to remember! Kudos, Christian, to you and your wonderful staff! More...

I hired Bachman's to cater a corporate luncheon and Christian knocked it out the park! Â Awesome tri-tip and chicken along with great sides. Â My boss was quite pleased and I received many compliments from co-workers. Â Communication was easy and Christian was very helpful with planning the menu. Â I myself was a small business owner for over 20 Â years I'm very aware of the effort it takes to consistently provide great service. Â I enjoy recognizing that effort when I see it and believe me when I say Christian delivers. Â Thank you Christian for an awesome experience and I will definitely be calling again for our future catering needs. More...

Christian did a phenomenal job catering our wedding despite some power limitations at our venue. He arrived mid-day to begin grilling the meats and veggies, and I learned later on that he and his team were instrumental in saving our cocktail hour food displays which mistakenly had not been prepared before he arrived. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and they even helped us collect all food scraps and waste for us to compost after the wedding. We considered several caterers, and Christian hands down beat the others on quality and price. We wouldn't have had our perfect day without him! More...

He catered my baby shower and let me tell ya, those were the best mashed potatoes I’ve EVER had. We had pulled pork and tri tip, rolls and salad too. It was DELICIOUS. There were tons of left overs and he put it all in to-go boxes before he left. Definitely recommend! More...

Christian did a great job catering our work party. He was on time, the food was outstanding (we actually asked for a couple of his recipes), the food was all hot, he was friendly and he cleaned up. I would highly recommend him for an event you're having. We'll definitely have him back! More...

He was quick to respond to messages and prompt with delivery. I would highly recommend working with Bachman's Catering for your events. More...

Would highly recommend Chef Christian for any catering event. He made up a custom menu according to our event and tropical theme. The food was fresh and delicious and the 50 guests are still raving about it. He’s friendly, prompt and cooked everything with a smile while fighting the 107 degree heat. I will use his service for all of my upcoming catering needs. Can’t say enough good things about this company. More...

Would highly recommend Christian for any of your catering needs. His food was amazing and everyone is still talking about it. The best thing was it wasn't your same old menu for a backyard bbq and was fresh and delicious. He was friendly and interacted with the guests. It was 107 degrees and he stood in the heat and never let anything run out after cooking it on the spot. He made our party of 50 guests a hit!!! Will use him for all of our catered events.. More...

I highly recommend Chef Christian if you are looking for a breakfast caterer! The food was great (eggs, bacon, potatoes, fruit, pastries and coffee) and he was very easy to work with. Our event was planned very quickly and we wanted a custom menu, both of which he accommodated with no fuss. Next time I need a caterer in Redding, I will definitely contact Bachman's Wholesome Catering! More...

I've used Christian twice now and both times I have been completely amazed. We specifically requested organic meats, and he accommodated our requests, no problem. The food was amazing (blue cheese stuffed chicken breasts the first time, and Thai food the second time with Tom Kha soup that was perfect). He uses local and homegrown produce when available. He shows up on time and provides great service. More...

Best Caterer I've found in Redding in 20 years! We hired Christian for our office Christmas party at our home and it was beyond belief. His charcuterie assortment was the best I've ever seen (and tasted). We also had chicken stuffed with Gouda, flat iron steaks, scalloped Potatoes, Christian's special focaccia bread, and his fantastic apple strudel. Professional, delicious and affordable! More...

What’s your signature dish?
Although I prefer not to paint myself into a corner here, I would say that we provide exceptional charcuterie and cheese plates. I source local meets, imported cheeses, and pair them with my scratch-made pickles, house-dried fruits, house-made mustard, and nut medleys.
How do you go about creating the perfect menu for your clients?
We start with your needs. Quantity, Quality, Budget. From there we inquire about some of your favorite foods, or your vision for the table that will be set for your guests. We love making memorable occasions.
What do you love most about your job?
Working in the kitchen has humble roots. Servants of the castle were some of the original, formal, chefs. We believe that servitude and excellent hospitality go hand in hand. Of course I love my food, but the best moments in life are shared across a dining room table, and we love making that happen.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Being a Shasta County local, I got the best training available to me when I left highschool to begin an internship with a successful local chef. It set me up on a path, that allowed me to hone my skills and build my knowledge at an extended rate. I traveled to the wine country, and cooked in farm-to-table environments there. It was a marvelous experience. I came back home after a time, and had difficulty finding work that validated my passion for quality and hospitality, and decided to open up my own catering company. We never stop learning, getting better, enjoying, tasting.
Why should our clients choose you?
We offer a wholesome, quality, product at a great price. It's as simple as that. We pride ourselves in the accommodations and variety of products and services that we offer our clients.
