Finally, Catering That Works

You’re planning an event, not running a restaurant. That’s why our catering goes beyond dropping off food and disappearing. We handle the grilling, the setup, the serving, and the cleanup.

Your guests get fresh, made-to-order food. You get to be present at your own event instead of stuck in the kitchen worrying about whether there’s enough potato salad.

From intimate family gatherings to corporate events, we bring the same attention to detail that’s made us Long Island’s go-to bagel spot for years. The difference is in the details—and in actually being able to enjoy the party you planned.

Greenvale Catering Company Experience

More Than Bagels Since Day One

We’ve been serving Long Island communities for years, but we’ve never been just about bagels. We’re a full-service catering company that happens to make exceptional kettle-cooked bagels.

What sets us apart in Greenvale and across Nassau County is our commitment to doing the work ourselves. We don’t just deliver food—we bring the grills, set up your event, cook everything fresh on-site, and handle the cleanup afterward.

Our team knows Long Island events. We understand the pace of life here, the expectations, and what it takes to make your gathering memorable for the right reasons.

Catering Process Greenvale NY

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we talk through your event. What kind of gathering? How many people? Any dietary preferences or must-have dishes? We’ll recommend menu options that fit your crowd and your budget.

Next, we handle the logistics. We arrive with everything needed—grills for BBQ events, serving equipment, utensils, even the condiments and sides. Our team sets up while you focus on your guests.

During your event, we cook everything fresh. No reheated trays or food that’s been sitting around. Your guests eat food prepared on-site, hot and made to order. After everyone’s satisfied, we pack up, clean up, and leave your space exactly as we found it.

Catering Menu Options Greenvale

Beyond Standard Catering Menus

Our catering isn’t limited to bagels and cream cheese, though we do those exceptionally well. We offer full BBQ catering where we bring the grill and cook your ribs, chicken, and burgers fresh on-site. Italian catering with traditional dishes that actually taste homemade because they are.

For Greenvale’s business community, our breakfast and lunch catering keeps meetings productive without the usual catering compromises. Fresh bagels, yes, but also substantial salads, sandwiches, and options that work for different dietary needs.

We source ingredients locally when possible, which means fresher food and support for Long Island businesses. It also means we understand seasonal availability and can suggest menu adjustments that make sense for your timing and budget.

How far in advance should I book catering in Greenvale?

For most events, two weeks’ notice gives us enough time to plan your menu and secure any special ingredients. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller gatherings or standard menu items.

Peak seasons like graduation time, holidays, and summer wedding season book up faster. If you’re planning an event during these busy periods, a month’s notice helps ensure your preferred date and menu options are available.

For large corporate events or complex custom menus, more lead time allows us to coordinate properly and ensure everything meets your expectations.

Yes, we bring everything needed for your event. For BBQ catering, that includes grills, gas, utensils, serving equipment, and all condiments. We also bring our own staff to handle the cooking and serving.

If you want additional wait staff to ensure your guests are well taken care of, we can arrange that too. Our professional team will circulate, refill drinks, clear plates, and handle the details so you can focus on hosting.

All setup and cleanup is included in our service. We arrive early to get everything ready and stay until your space is clean and back to normal.

For morning meetings, our breakfast catering includes fresh bagels, but also lighter options like yogurt parfaits and fresh fruit that won’t make people drowsy during presentations. Coffee and beverage service is always included.

Lunch meetings work well with our sandwich platters, salad options, and items that people can eat easily while still participating in discussions. We avoid messy foods that make business conversations difficult.

For larger corporate events, our Italian catering or BBQ options create a more relaxed atmosphere while still maintaining professionalism. We can adjust portions and timing to fit your schedule.

We discuss dietary needs during the planning phase and can accommodate most common restrictions including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Our fresh preparation approach makes substitutions easier than companies working with pre-made items.

For serious allergies, we take extra precautions with preparation and serving to avoid cross-contamination. We’ll walk through specific concerns with you and explain exactly how we’ll handle them.

Since we prepare food fresh on-site, we can often make adjustments during the event if someone’s needs weren’t anticipated. This flexibility is one advantage of our hands-on approach versus drop-off catering.

Our BBQ catering includes all the food, equipment, staff, setup, and cleanup. We bring the grills, gas, utensils, plates, napkins, and all condiments. The meat is cooked fresh on-site, not reheated.

Standard sides like potato salad, coleslaw, and corn on the cob are included, along with all the fixings for burgers and hot dogs. Beverages can be added to any package.

The pricing covers our staff time for the entire event—arrival, setup, cooking, serving, and complete cleanup afterward. You’re not charged separately for labor, equipment rental, or cleanup fees.

Absolutely. While we have standard menu packages, we work with you to create something that fits your specific event and guest preferences. This might mean adjusting portion sizes, swapping side dishes, or combining elements from different menu categories.

For family events with specific cultural preferences or traditional dishes, we can often incorporate those requests. Our Italian catering, for example, can be adjusted for regional preferences or family recipes.

Budget considerations are part of the customization process. We’ll suggest ways to get the most value while still delivering the quality and variety your event deserves.
