Dix Hills Event Catering Services
You know the drill. Another event coming up, and you’re already stressed about the food. Will it be fresh? Will there be enough? Will your guests actually enjoy it?
Here’s what happens when you choose the right caterer. Your guests arrive to the aroma of freshly grilled BBQ or authentic Italian dishes. Everything’s set up perfectly before they walk in. You’re not running around checking on food or worrying about cleanup.
Instead, you’re doing what you should be doing – enjoying your own event. That’s the difference between hoping everything works out and knowing it will.
Brendels Bagels Catering Company
We’ve been serving Dix Hills and Suffolk County for years, but most people don’t realize we’re also one of the area’s premier catering companies. We’ve built our reputation on those famous kettle-cooked bagels – crispy outside, perfectly chewy inside.
But our catering goes way beyond breakfast. Italian specialties, BBQ that we actually grill on-site, corporate lunch spreads, and dessert platters that disappear fast. Local families and businesses trust us because we use fresh, often locally-sourced ingredients and handle everything from setup to cleanup.
Our team knows Dix Hills events. We understand the venues, the timing, and what works for Long Island gatherings.
Catering Process Dix Hills NY
First, you call 1-866-CATERING to discuss your event. We’ll ask about guest count, venue, timing, and any special requirements. No generic packages – we actually listen to what you need.
Next, we create a custom menu proposal. Whether you want our signature BBQ setup, Italian classics, or a breakfast spread, we’ll design something that fits your event and budget. You’ll know exactly what’s included, from food to service staff.
On event day, our team arrives early with everything needed. For BBQ events, that means bringing the actual grills, setting them up, and cooking fresh throughout your event. For other catering styles, we handle the setup, keep food at proper temperatures, and manage service so you can focus on your guests. When it’s over, we clean up and pack out everything we brought in.

Catering Menu Options Dix Hills
Our BBQ catering is what sets us apart in Suffolk County. We bring the grills, gas, utensils, and professional grill masters right to your location. Fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, plus fresh-made salads like potato, macaroni, and coleslaw. All condiments and fixings included.
Italian catering features traditional dishes made fresh – stuffed shells, meat lasagna, chicken marsala, and stuffed flounder. We also prepare heroes, paninis, and wraps with quality Boar’s Head meats and our signature balsamic sun-dried tomato dressing.
Breakfast catering showcases our famous bagels alongside options like egg platters, pastries, and fresh fruit arrangements. Corporate lunch packages, dessert trays, and custom combinations are all available. In Dix Hills, where people appreciate quality and convenience, we deliver both without the premium pricing you’d expect from full-service catering.
How far in advance should I book catering for my Dix Hills event?
For most events, booking 1-2 weeks ahead works fine, but busy seasons like graduation, wedding season, and holidays fill up faster. If your event is during peak times (May through September) or involves our popular BBQ catering service, aim for 3-4 weeks advance notice.
The earlier you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with menu options and timing. Last-minute requests are possible depending on availability, but advance booking ensures you get exactly what you want for your event.
Do you provide servers and handle cleanup for catered events?
Yes, our full-service options include professional wait staff who manage food service, keep buffets stocked, and attend to guest needs throughout your event. This is especially popular for BBQ catering where our staff manages the grills and serves hot food continuously.
Cleanup is included in our full-service packages. We pack out everything we brought, clean serving areas, and leave your venue as we found it. You won’t be dealing with dirty platters or leftover equipment after your guests leave.
What's included with your BBQ catering package in Dix Hills?
Our BBQ package includes everything needed for a complete outdoor event. We bring commercial grills, gas, utensils, serving equipment, and experienced grill masters who cook fresh throughout your event. Menu typically includes ribs, grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob.
Fresh-made sides include potato salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw. All condiments, buns, and fixings like pickles and olives are provided. Setup, cooking, service, and cleanup are all handled by our team so you can enjoy your own event.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Absolutely. We regularly handle vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. Our Italian menu includes plenty of vegetarian pasta options, and BBQ events can include grilled vegetables and alternative protein choices.
When you call 1-866-CATERING, discuss any dietary restrictions upfront. We’ll work with you to ensure all guests have suitable options without compromising the overall menu quality. Custom menu development is part of our standard service.

How does pricing work for catering services in Dix Hills?
Pricing depends on guest count, menu selection, service level, and event requirements. Our breakfast and lunch catering typically runs per-person, while full-service BBQ events are priced as complete packages including equipment, staff, and cleanup.
