Question of the day: When was the last time you gathered with your family for a BBQ? No, we’re not talking about the K-BBQ restaurant you visited last week, spending over $100 on Wagyu beef and having the staff cook and slice it for you. We’re talking about good ol’ charcoal grilling, marinated meats, corn on the cob, potatoes, and endless fanning to keep the fire going. And let's not forget ending the night with marshmallows roasted to perfection, melting in your mouth!
If this doesn't bring back memories of your youth, perhaps the term "chalet" will. In this story, we'll explore the best places to enjoy a BBQ or take a short getaway in chalets around Singapore!

BBQ Pits in Singapore
With the expansion of parks in Singapore, booking a BBQ pit has never been easier. However, many of these pits are still often fully booked on weekends, meaning you might have to "queue" two months in advance to reserve one! While planning ahead is always a good idea, Singapore's weather forecasts don't extend two months ahead. The last thing you’d want is to cancel a BBQ party you’ve planned so far in advance. As such, despite being the most economical option, the risk is too high for us to recommend NParks BBQ pits.
But don't worry—hope is not lost! There are plenty of other places where you can rent a BBQ pit (aside from condominiums).

SAFRA BBQ Pits
Multiple outlets across Singapore
SAFRA offers a wide range of facilities, and BBQ pits are among them! Many locations feature electric grills, which eliminate the hassle of starting a fire and cleaning up afterward. Aside from NParks, SAFRA is also one of the more affordable options for small group gatherings, with a 4-hour rental starting at just $21.80*! You can also opt for pool access at an additional fee, giving the little ones a chance to play. The only downside is the lack of a sheltered dining area, which could be problematic in case of sudden weather changes. So, if you’re a SAFRA member or part of its affiliate network, booking a BBQ pit with SAFRA is definitely a great choice for the price!
