Professional Catering Services Nassau County
You know that feeling when everything just works. The food arrives on time, hot and fresh. Your guests are talking about the meal instead of complaining about cold sandwiches or missing utensils.

Your reputation stays intact, your event stays on schedule, and you get to focus on what matters most – connecting with the people who showed up.
Established Long Island Catering Company
Brendel’s Bagels has been serving the Nassau County community from multiple Long Island locations for years. What started as our commitment to traditional kettle-cooked bagels has grown into comprehensive catering services that locals actually trust.
We’re the company that brings the grill to your backyard BBQ, handles the full Italian spread for your corporate lunch, and makes sure your breakfast meeting starts with fresh bagels and real cream cheese. We know Glenwood Landing and the surrounding Nassau County area because we’re part of this community.
When other caterers cut corners or show up unprepared, we bring the equipment, the staff, and the attention to detail that makes your event work. That’s why businesses and families keep calling us back.
Full Service Catering Process
First, we talk through your event – guest count, food preferences, any dietary needs, and your timeline. No generic packages or pushy upsells. Just an honest conversation about what you actually need and what fits your budget.
Next, we plan the logistics. For BBQ catering, we bring the grills, utensils, and serving equipment directly to your location. For breakfast or lunch catering, we coordinate delivery times that work with your schedule. Everything gets confirmed in writing so there are no surprises.
On event day, our team arrives early to set up. We handle the cooking, serving, and interaction with your guests while you focus on hosting. When it’s over, we clean up and pack up any leftovers for you to keep. You get to enjoy your own event instead of running around managing food service.

Complete Catering Menu Options
Our catering menu covers everything from early morning corporate breakfasts to evening Italian dinners. The breakfast catering includes our signature kettle-cooked bagels with fresh cream cheese spreads, but also hot options like scrambled eggs, French toast, and breakfast sandwiches.
For lunch and corporate events, we offer sandwich platters, fresh salads, and hot Italian dishes like baked ziti, chicken marsala, and stuffed shells. The BBQ catering is where we really shine – we bring everything needed for on-site grilling including ribs, chicken, burgers, and all the sides.
What makes us different in the Nassau County catering market is our full-service approach. We’re not just dropping off food and leaving. Our staff stays to serve, manage the buffet, and handle cleanup. For Glenwood Landing events, this means you get restaurant-quality service in your preferred location without the restaurant overhead.
How far in advance should I book catering for my Glenwood Landing event?
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. Corporate breakfast meetings and lunch deliveries typically need 2-3 days notice to ensure we have all ingredients fresh and can coordinate with your timeline.
For larger events like BBQ catering or Italian dinner service, especially during busy seasons like summer or around holidays, booking 2-3 weeks ahead gives you the best selection of dates and menu options. We’ll work with you on menu planning and logistics well before your event date so everything runs smoothly.
Do you provide serving staff and equipment for events in Nassau County?
Yes, full-service events include our professional serving staff who handle setup, food service, and cleanup. For BBQ catering, we bring the grills, serving utensils, chafing dishes, and everything needed for on-site cooking and serving.
Our team stays throughout your event to manage the food service, refill items as needed, and interact professionally with your guests. This is especially valuable for corporate events where you need to focus on your clients or team rather than managing food logistics. At the end, we handle all cleanup and pack any leftovers for you to keep.
What's included in your BBQ catering service for backyard events?
Our BBQ catering includes everything needed for a complete outdoor cooking experience. We bring the grills, deep fryers, serving tables, tents for cooking areas, and all utensils and serving equipment. The menu typically includes fall-off-the-bone ribs, grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and classic sides.
Our grill masters handle all the cooking on-site so your guests get hot, fresh food throughout the event. We also provide setup and breakdown service, so you don’t need to worry about equipment rental or cleanup afterward. This comprehensive approach is what sets us apart from other Nassau County caterers who just deliver pre-cooked food.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests for corporate catering?
Absolutely. We work with corporate clients regularly who need to accommodate various dietary needs including vegetarian, gluten-free, and other specific requirements. Our Italian catering menu includes several vegetarian pasta options, and we can prepare gluten-free alternatives with advance notice.
For breakfast catering, we offer lighter options alongside traditional bagel spreads. The key is discussing these needs during the planning conversation so we can suggest menu modifications that work for everyone. We’ve found that most dietary restrictions can be handled without compromising the overall meal experience for other guests.
How does pricing work for different types of catering events?
Pricing depends on several factors: guest count, menu selection, service level, and event duration. Breakfast catering with delivery typically costs less than full-service BBQ with on-site cooking and staff. We provide detailed written estimates after discussing your specific needs.
For corporate clients who order regularly, we often work out package pricing that provides consistency and value. The investment covers not just the food, but the professional service, equipment, setup, and cleanup that ensures your event runs smoothly. We’re transparent about all costs upfront so there are no surprise charges.
What areas around Glenwood Landing do you serve for catering delivery?
We serve throughout Nassau County including Glenwood Landing, Sea Cliff, Roslyn, Greenvale, Old Brookville, and surrounding communities. Our multiple Long Island locations allow us to efficiently serve the broader Nassau County area while maintaining food quality and delivery timing.
For BBQ catering and full-service events, we travel throughout the region bringing all necessary equipment. Delivery-only catering has a wider service area since we’re not transporting grills and serving equipment. Distance from our locations may affect delivery fees, but we’re transparent about any additional costs during the planning process.
