Bay Wood Catering Process
First, you call us at 1-866-CATERING and we talk through your event. What’s the occasion? How many people? What kind of vibe are you going for? We listen to what you actually want, not what we think you should want.
We work with you to custom-craft a catering menu that will WOW every palate at your party or event. Whether you choose from our proven menu options or want something completely customized, we build it around your needs.
On event day, we show up with everything. For BBQ events, that means grills, gas, utensils, sauces, and the food – we bring the BBQ directly to you and our grillmasters set up your very own private BBQ. We handle all the setup, cooking, and cleanup so you can focus on your guests. You don’t lift a finger unless it’s to grab a plate.

Bay Wood Catering Menu Options
We offer an array of menu items and catering options for any and every occasion, from standard meals like breakfast and lunch to specialty menus like Italian catering and desserts. Bay Wood residents love our variety because one caterer can handle their corporate breakfast meeting and their backyard BBQ.
Our BBQ catering features fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy grilled barbecue chicken, burgers, and hot dogs – we’re masters of the grill and serve up the best-tasting BBQ you’ve ever eaten. For Italian events, we bring authentic flavors with fresh pasta, hearty sandwiches, and traditional favorites.
All menu items are prepared with the highest quality and freshest ingredients, and our recipes are hand-crafted to ensure outstanding flavor. Bay Wood’s proximity to fresh Long Island ingredients means your guests taste the difference in every bite. Whether you’re hosting a baby shower, corporate event, birthday party, or any other occasion, you’ll leave a lasting impression on your guests.
How far in advance should I book catering in Bay Wood?
For most Bay Wood events, booking 1-2 weeks ahead gives you the best selection and ensures we can accommodate your preferred date. However, we understand that some events come up quickly.
If you’re planning a large corporate event, wedding, or holiday party, booking 3-4 weeks in advance is ideal. This gives us time to plan custom menus and coordinate any special requirements. For smaller gatherings under 25 people, we can often accommodate shorter notice, sometimes even same-week requests depending on our schedule.
The key is calling us as soon as you know you need catering. We’ll work with your timeline and let you know exactly what’s possible for your specific event and guest count.
Do you provide tables, chairs, and serving equipment for Bay Wood events?
We bring all the food service equipment you need – serving platters, utensils, napkins, and plates. For BBQ catering, we bring everything including the grills, gas, cooking utensils, and even our grillmasters to cook on-site.
Tables and chairs aren’t something we typically provide, but we can recommend reliable rental companies in the Bay Wood area that our clients have used successfully. We coordinate timing with rental companies to ensure everything arrives when it should.
What we focus on is making sure the food service runs smoothly. Our team sets up the serving area, keeps food at proper temperatures, and handles all the food-related logistics so you don’t have to worry about any of that during your event.
What's included in your BBQ catering service for Bay Wood events?
Our BBQ catering is completely full-service. We bring the grills, all cooking equipment, gas, utensils, sauces, and our experienced grillmasters who cook everything fresh on-site at your Bay Wood location.
The menu includes fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy grilled chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, and sides like corn on the cob. Everything is cooked to order, not reheated. Our grillmasters handle all the cooking while you enjoy your guests.
After the event, we clean and pack up all our equipment. You don’t have to worry about propane tanks, cleaning grills, or disposing of cooking equipment. We show up, set up, cook, serve, and clean up. Your job is to enjoy great BBQ with your guests.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests in Bay Wood?
Absolutely. We work with dietary restrictions regularly for Bay Wood events. Whether you need vegetarian options, gluten-free choices, or accommodations for food allergies, we plan around your guests’ needs.
Our kitchen can prepare separate dishes or modify existing menu items. For example, we can do grilled vegetables and veggie burgers alongside traditional BBQ, or prepare gluten-free bagel options for breakfast catering. Just let us know about any restrictions when you call.
We also handle special requests for custom menu items or specific preparation methods. If you have a family recipe you’d like incorporated or a specific dish that’s important to your event, we’ll work with you to make it happen. The key is discussing these needs during your initial consultation so we can plan accordingly.
How does pricing work for Bay Wood catering events?
Our catering pricing is straightforward and based on your guest count, menu selections, and service level. We provide detailed quotes with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront.
Basic delivery and setup is included in our pricing. Full-service options like BBQ catering with on-site cooking and cleanup are priced higher but include everything you need for a completely hands-off experience. We believe in fair, transparent pricing that reflects the quality and service you receive.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your budget and work within it to create the best possible menu and service package. We offer options at different price points, so whether you need simple drop-off catering or full-service event management, we can find something that works for your Bay Wood event and budget.
