Hosting Outside? Keep It Simple, Keep It Satisfying

The beauty of a BBQ lies in its simplicity—just good food, good company, and an open sky. Whether you're setting up at a park, backyard, or balcony, planning a seamless outdoor BBQ doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With Mr. Barker’s halal-certified, pre-marinated sets and a few smart choices, your gathering can go from stressful to sensational.

Build the Right Menu for the Setting

Outdoor events thrive on fuss-free food. Choose sets that are easy to grill and easy to serve. The All-American BBQ features crowd-friendly burgers, wings, and sausages that cook quickly and cater to all ages. For a heartier spread, go with the Carnivore Celebration—perfect for hungry guests and big groups.

Want something lighter with flair? The Singapore Seafood BBQ offers marinated stingray, prawns, and more—ideal for sunny, breezy afternoons.

Pick Portable, Crowd-Pleasing Sides & Drinks

Mr. Barker’s Sides Collection was made for outdoor settings. From garlic rice to pasta salad, every dish travels well, sets up fast, and serves easily. Keep your drinks cool and plentiful with the Beverages Collection, which includes halal-friendly options for guests of all ages.

For added variety, bring along a few skewers from the Skewers Collection—they cook fast and are easy to pass around while guests mingle.
