The Ultimate BBQ Setup Checklist: Gear, Prep & Mr. Barker

Prep Less. Grill More. Enjoy Always.

You’ve got the guest list, the playlist, and the appetite—but what about your BBQ setup? Whether you’re a seasoned host or first-time griller, having a solid plan makes all the difference. With Mr. Barker’s halal-certified BBQ sets doing most of the heavy lifting, all you need is a smooth setup to turn your space into the ultimate grill zone.

Here’s what to tick off:

✅ Grill Equipment

Gas, charcoal, or electric—just make sure it’s clean, safe, and ready to fire up. Want something foolproof? Our All-American BBQ and Skewers Collection work great even on compact grills or grill pans.

✅ Serving Gear

Tongs, trays, and heat-resistant gloves are a must. Don't forget plates, napkins, and cutlery that can handle saucy meats and hearty sides. Tip: go reusable to reduce waste.

✅ Fast-Heating Sides

Save yourself the prep stress with our Sides Collection. Garlic rice, pasta, and buttered corn are BBQ MVPs—easy to serve, quick to heat.

✅ Refreshments

Keep your drink station well-stocked with chilled items from our Beverages Collection. From fruit punch to fizzy coolers, every BBQ needs something sweet and satisfying to sip on.

✅ Your Mr. Barker BBQ Sets

This is where it all comes together. Our BBQ Signatures are halal-certified, pre-marinated, and portioned for fast grilling—no last-minute scrambling required. Hosting a big group? Add the Carnivore Celebration. Want bold local flavour? Go for the Straits Asian Grill.

Set the Scene, Serve with Ease

Decor isn’t essential—but fairy lights, a clean setup, and upbeat music always help. Whether you’re grilling on your balcony or by the beach, a little prep goes a long way toward creating a seamless, memory-making event.
