East Hills Catering Menu
Our catering menu offers one of Nassau County’s most diverse selections. Morning events feature our famous kettle-cooked bagels, fresh cream cheeses, and hearty breakfast options that energize corporate meetings and social gatherings.
Italian catering showcases traditional favorites: stuffed shells, meat lasagna, chicken marsala, and fresh heroes made with Boar’s Head cold cuts. Our homemade sauces, including signature balsamic sun-dried tomato dressing, elevate every dish.
BBQ catering brings the full experience to East Hills venues. We grill fresh ribs, chicken, burgers, and hot dogs on-site while your guests watch. This interactive approach creates memorable experiences that guests talk about long after the event ends.
Lunch and dinner options include salads, sandwiches, and specialty items that cater to various dietary preferences. We work with you to customize menus that reflect your event’s style and your guests’ expectations.
How far in advance should I book catering in East Hills?
We recommend booking at least one week in advance for smaller events and two to three weeks for larger gatherings or popular dates like holidays and summer weekends. This timeline allows us to properly plan your menu, secure fresh ingredients, and coordinate our team’s schedule.
However, we understand that some events come up quickly. Call us even if your event is just a few days away – we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs based on availability.
Early booking also gives you more flexibility with menu customization and ensures you get your preferred time slot, especially during busy catering seasons in Nassau County.
