Step 1: Picking the Right BBQ Pit & Location

The key to a successful BBQ at Changi Beach Park is choosing a pit that’s near essential facilities:
✔ Close to the water point & toilets – Nobody wants to walk 10 minutes just to wash their hands.
✔ Near a shelter – Trust us, you don’t want to be caught in the rain with no backup plan.
✔ Near the carpark – BBQ Delivery Team usually meet client at carpark, select a nearby bbq pit to the carpark could save you hassle.
✔ Good airflow, but not too windy – Too much wind makes it harder to manage your charcoal fire.
If possible, always book a pit closer to a sheltered pavilion so you have an indoor backup plan. If you're planning a larger gathering, bringing an extra tent or canopy for shade is also a smart move.
Step 2: Prep Your BBQ Essentials
A well-prepped BBQ means less stress, more shiok time. Make sure you bring:
🔥 Charcoal (a mix of fast-burning and long-lasting)
🔥 Wire mesh (for grilling smaller seafood & veggies)
🔥 Firestarter (no one wants to spend an hour lighting the fire)
🔥 Fan or manual blower (helps to get the flames going fast)
🔥 Metal & plastic tongs (separate for raw & cooked food)
🔥 Serving plates & utensils
🔥 Icebox (for drinks & keeping seafood fresh)
If you’re renting a grill, make sure it’s big enough for the amount of food you’re preparing. For bigger events (30-50 pax), it’s worth considering a live station setup with a professional BBQ chef, so you can relax and enjoy the party while the food is cooked fresh and served hot.
Step 3: Plan a Well-Balanced Menu
A great BBQ isn’t just about meat, meat, and more meat. You need a balanced mix to keep the flavors exciting and to make sure your guests don’t feel too heavy after the meal.
A good BBQ menu should have:
🥩 Meats – Wagyu beef, short ribs, lamb, free-range chicken
🦞 Seafood – Live frozen lobsters, fresh scallops, tiger prawns, squid
🥗 Vegetables – Broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, sweet corn
🍚 Carbs – Fried rice, potato salad, or garlic bread
For smaller gatherings, a DIY BBQ set with premium marinated meats & seafood works great. But for larger groups, a live station setup ensures the food is grilled properly and served hot and fresh, instead of sitting in trays getting cold.
Step 4: Expect the Unexpected – Last-Minute Adjustments
The biggest BBQ nightmare? RAIN. 🌧️ While we always hope for good weather, it’s best to have a backup plan:
✔ Portable canopy/tent – If no shelter is available, bring one!
✔ Check the forecast – Be mentally prepared in case of showers.
✔ Last-minute equipment rental – Need an extra grill, tent, or chairs? Have a contact on standby!
Lucky for us, the sky held up for this event! But we were ready with a backup tent, just in case.
