Aquebogue Catering Company
Brendels Bagels has been serving Long Island for years, and we’ve built our reputation on two things: quality food and reliable service. We’re not just the bagel place you know – we’re one of Suffolk County’s leading catering companies.
Our kettle-cooked bagels might have put us on the map, but our catering services keep customers coming back. We use fresh, locally-sourced ingredients because you can taste the difference. When your guests are still talking about the food weeks later, you know you made the right choice.
We’ve catered everything from intimate family brunches to large corporate events across Aquebogue and the surrounding areas. The common thread? Hosts who actually get to enjoy their own events.
Event Catering Process Aquebogue
First, we talk through your event details and menu preferences. No pressure, no upselling – just a conversation about what you need and what would work best for your guests.
Next, we handle all the preparation using fresh ingredients, many sourced locally. Our trained chefs prepare everything to order, whether you’re planning breakfast catering, Italian specialties, or our signature BBQ service.
On event day, we arrive with everything needed – food, equipment, serving materials, even cleanup supplies. We set up, serve your guests, and handle all the cleanup afterward. Your job is simple: enjoy the party you planned.

Catering Menu Options Aquebogue
Yes, we’re famous for our fresh bagels, but our catering menu goes far beyond breakfast. We offer Italian catering with authentic flavors, premium BBQ where we bring the grill directly to your location, and everything in between.
For Aquebogue events, we’re particularly known for our mobile BBQ service. We bring the grills, the gas, the utensils, and the expertise right to your backyard, beach location, or venue. Fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy grilled chicken, burgers, and all the fixings – prepared fresh on-site while you relax with your guests.
Our breakfast catering features our signature kettle-cooked bagels alongside fresh fruit, pastries, and coffee service. Lunch and dinner options include sandwich platters, salad selections, and Italian specialties. We can also create custom menus tailored to your specific event needs and dietary requirements.
How far in advance should I book catering services?
For most events, we recommend booking at least one week in advance, though we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and your event size. Larger events or those during busy seasons (holidays, wedding season) should be booked 2-3 weeks ahead.
The earlier you book, the more flexibility we have with menu customization and timing. We’ll work with you to finalize details like guest count and menu selections closer to your event date, but having the date secured early gives everyone peace of mind.
Do you provide all the serving equipment and cleanup?
Absolutely. We bring everything needed for your event – serving platters, utensils, chafing dishes, and even our own grills for BBQ catering. Our team handles the complete setup before your guests arrive.
After the event, we take care of all cleanup as well. You won’t find dirty dishes or leftover mess – we pack up everything and leave your space exactly as we found it. This full-service approach is what sets us apart from drop-off catering companies.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Yes, we work with various dietary needs including vegetarian options, gluten-conscious selections, and other specific requirements. When we discuss your menu, just let us know about any dietary restrictions among your guests.
We can often modify existing menu items or suggest alternatives that work for everyone. Our chefs are experienced in preparing food that accommodates different needs without compromising on taste. The key is discussing these requirements during the planning phase so we can prepare accordingly.
What areas do you serve for catering delivery?
We provide catering services throughout Suffolk County, including Aquebogue and all surrounding Long Island communities. Our mobile catering service means we can set up at virtually any location – your home, office, park, beach, or private venue.
Distance isn’t usually an issue within our service area, though we do factor travel time into our setup schedule. We’ve catered events at private residences, corporate offices, community centers, and outdoor locations throughout the region.
How do you ensure food stays fresh during events?
Food freshness starts with our preparation process – everything is made to order using fresh, often locally-sourced ingredients. We don’t prepare food days in advance and reheat it for your event.
During service, we use proper food warming equipment and temperature control methods to maintain both food safety and quality. Our staff monitors food temperatures throughout your event. For BBQ catering, we’re actually cooking on-site, so freshness isn’t even a question – your guests are getting food straight off the grill.
What's included in your BBQ catering service?
Our BBQ catering is truly full-service – we bring our own grills, gas, utensils, serving equipment, and of course, all the food. Our grillmasters handle all the cooking on-site, so your guests get everything fresh off the grill.
Menu options include fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and traditional BBQ sides. We provide all sauces, condiments, and serving materials. Setup, cooking, serving, and cleanup are all included in the service. You provide the location and the guests – we handle everything else.
