TL;DR / Summary: A corporate BBQ trades the usual conference room for an open-air grill, and it takes a slightly different kind of planning to get right — menu tiers, on-site chef staffing, and outdoor logistics all matter. This guide walks through Shiok Kitchen Catering's real BBQ menu, pricing, and staffing details, straight from their official BBQ menu.
Why a Corporate BBQ Hits Differently Than a Standard Office Event
There's something about cooking food live, outdoors, over an open flame that changes the energy of a corporate event entirely. A BBQ pulls people away from their desks, out of the usual meeting-room routine, and into a more relaxed, social setting — which makes it a genuinely effective format for team bonding, year-end celebrations, or simply rewarding a team for a strong quarter.
But a BBQ also comes with logistics a standard buffet doesn't: live grilling requires an on-site chef, outdoor venues need proper planning around weather and setup, and the menu itself needs to be built specifically around items that grill well, rather than simply repurposing a standard buffet spread.
The Best Gifts & BBQ Menu, Straight From Shiok Kitchen Catering
Shiok Kitchen Catering's BBQ offering comes in two clear tiers, both requiring a minimum of 30 pax, with full menu details and an on-site chef requirement built into the pricing.
Deluxe BBQ Menu — From $25+ Per Pax
- Salad: Japanese Goma Potato Salad with boiled egg, chicken ham, mixed vegetables, and pickled cucumber & carrot; Broccoli Almandine (V) with beurre noisette and almond flakes; Spaghetti Aglio Olio (V) with garlic confit, spring vegetables, and mushroom.
- To BBQ: Caribbean Chicken Chop, Kabayaki Fish Fillet, Sambal Squid with Onion, and Chicken Cheese Sausage.
- Vegetable & Staple: Sweet Corn on Cob (V).
- Sauces: Black Pepper Sauce and Sambal Sauce.

- Beverage: Choice of Iced Orange Juice or Iced Fruit Punch Drink.
Understanding the On-Site Chef Requirement
Both BBQ menus require an on-site chef, priced at $200+ per chef for the first 3 hours, with an additional $30 per hour for any subsequent hours beyond that. This isn't an optional add-on — live BBQ grilling genuinely requires a chef on-site to manage the cooking safely and keep food coming throughout the event, rather than a pre-cooked spread simply being kept warm.
For companies planning a longer team event, factoring the hourly extension cost into your budget from the start avoids surprises if your BBQ celebration runs longer than the initial 3-hour window.
Deluxe vs Premium: Which Tier Suits Your Team Event?
Choose Deluxe if: you're planning a straightforward team BBQ with a solid, crowd-pleasing menu — Caribbean Chicken Chop and Kabayaki Fish Fillet cover familiar, well-loved flavours without stretching the budget.
Choose Premium if: you want a more elevated spread for a milestone celebration or client-facing event — the addition of Herb Mustard Beef Striploin Steak and Harissa Spice Marinated Lamb Chop brings a noticeably more premium protein selection, alongside a dedicated dessert course.
Both tiers include vegetarian options, marked with (V) across salads, staples, and sweets, ensuring the BBQ works for a mixed dietary team rather than leaving vegetarian colleagues with only side dishes.
How to Plan a Corporate BBQ Event in Singapore
Step 1: Confirm your headcount meets the 30-pax minimum. Both BBQ menu tiers require a minimum order of 30 pax — for smaller teams, consider combining departments or checking with our team about alternative formats.
Step 2: Choose your tier based on the occasion. A regular team bonding session suits the Deluxe menu, while a bigger milestone celebration or client event may warrant the Premium tier's more elevated proteins.
Step 3: Budget for the on-site chef properly. Factor in the $200+ base cost for the first 3 hours, plus $30 per additional hour, based on how long you expect your event to run.
Step 4: Secure an appropriate outdoor or semi-outdoor venue. BBQ events need adequate ventilation and space for live grilling — confirm your venue can accommodate an on-site cooking setup before booking.
Step 5: Plan for weather contingencies. Singapore's weather can be unpredictable — check whether your venue has a covered or indoor backup option in case of rain.
Step 6: Book with sufficient lead time. As with all bulk catering orders, booking ahead secures your preferred date, particularly for BBQ events during popular team-bonding periods like year-end or after major project milestones.
