Professional Catering Services Herricks
You’ve got enough to worry about without wondering if your caterer will show up prepared. When you book Brendels Bagels for your Herricks event, you get more than just food delivery.
Your guests taste the difference in our kettle-cooked bagels – that signature crispy exterior and perfectly chewy interior that comes from doing things the traditional way. But it’s what happens behind the scenes that makes your event seamless.
We arrive with everything needed: professional staff, serving equipment, and a plan that keeps your timeline on track. While your guests enjoy fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared that morning, you’re free to focus on what matters most – your event’s success.
Established Catering Company Nassau County
Brendels Bagels has been serving Nassau County communities for years, building a reputation that goes well beyond our signature kettle-cooked bagels. We’re a full-service eatery and premier catering company with multiple Long Island locations.
What sets us apart in Herricks and surrounding areas is our commitment to doing things right. We use high-quality, fresh ingredients – many sourced locally – because you can taste the difference. Our staff understands the local community and what Nassau County events require.
From intimate corporate meetings in nearby Westbury to large celebrations in Garden City, we’ve handled events across the area. Our professional team knows how to work within your timeline and budget while delivering the kind of service that keeps clients coming back.
Catering Process Herricks NY
Planning catering for your Herricks event starts with a conversation about what you need. We discuss your guest count, dietary requirements, preferred menu items, and event timeline. No pressure, no upselling – just honest advice about what works best for your specific situation.
Once you book, our team handles the logistics. We confirm delivery times, coordinate with your venue, and prepare everything fresh the morning of your event. For BBQ catering, we bring the grills, utensils, and experienced staff who set up and manage the cooking on-site.
On event day, we arrive early to set up properly. Our staff serves your guests professionally, maintains food quality throughout your event, and handles all cleanup afterward. You focus on your guests while we handle everything else – exactly how catering should work.

Full Service Catering Nassau County
Your Herricks catering includes comprehensive service designed to eliminate the usual event headaches. We provide professional serving staff, all necessary equipment, setup, and complete cleanup. For BBQ events, we bring portable grills and handle all the cooking on-site.
Our menu extends far beyond bagels, though those remain a favorite. We offer Italian catering, premium BBQ options, breakfast and lunch packages, dessert trays, and fresh salads. Everything is customizable to accommodate dietary restrictions and personal preferences.
Nassau County events often require specific timing and coordination – whether it’s a corporate lunch in Mineola or a family celebration in Williston Park. We understand local venues, parking situations, and the logistics that make Long Island events successful. Our team coordinates with your schedule and venue requirements to ensure smooth execution from start to finish.
How far in advance should I book catering for my Herricks event?
For most events in Herricks and Nassau County, we recommend booking at least one week in advance. This gives us time to coordinate with your venue, prepare fresh ingredients, and ensure our staff is available for your date.
For larger events over 50 people or during busy seasons like holidays and graduation time, two weeks notice works better. Corporate events often need shorter lead times, and we can sometimes accommodate same-day requests for smaller orders, though advance booking always ensures better availability and preparation time.
Do you provide tables, chairs, and serving equipment for events?
Yes, we provide all serving equipment, chafing dishes, and utensils needed for your catering. For BBQ events, we bring portable grills, gas, and all cooking equipment. Our staff handles setup and breakdown of all serving areas.
We don’t provide tables and chairs for guests, but we work with local Nassau County rental companies if you need recommendations. Most venues in the Herricks area already have seating, and we coordinate with your venue’s existing setup. Our focus is ensuring the food service runs smoothly while working within your venue’s layout.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Absolutely. We regularly accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs for events throughout Nassau County. Our kitchen team is experienced with food allergies and cross-contamination prevention.
When you book, we discuss any dietary requirements upfront and plan accordingly. We can prepare separate serving areas for allergen-free items and clearly label all dishes. Many of our menu items are naturally accommodating – our fresh salads, grilled vegetables, and custom sandwich options work well for various dietary needs. We’d rather know in advance than scramble on event day.
What's included in your BBQ catering service?
Our BBQ catering brings everything needed for a complete outdoor cooking experience to your Herricks location. We provide portable grills, gas, utensils, serving equipment, and experienced grill staff who handle all the cooking on-site.
The menu includes fall-off-the-bone ribs, grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and sides like coleslaw and potato salad. We arrive early to set up, manage the grilling throughout your event, and handle all cleanup afterward. You get the atmosphere and fresh-cooked taste of a backyard BBQ without any of the work or equipment investment.
How do you ensure food stays fresh during longer events?
We use professional-grade chafing dishes and warming equipment to maintain proper temperatures throughout your event. Hot foods stay hot, cold items remain properly chilled, and everything is replenished as needed.
Our staff monitors food quality continuously and refreshes items before they sit too long. For events lasting more than four hours, we often prepare food in stages rather than all at once. This ensures guests who arrive later get the same fresh quality as those who eat early. We’ve catered events throughout Nassau County lasting six hours or more while maintaining food safety and quality standards.
What areas do you serve besides Herricks?
We serve all of Nassau County including Garden City, Westbury, Mineola, Williston Park, New Hyde Park, and surrounding communities. Our multiple Long Island locations allow us to efficiently serve events throughout the area.
We regularly cater corporate events, family celebrations, and social gatherings across Nassau County. Travel time and logistics are factored into our planning, so events in nearby communities like Garden City Park or East Meadow receive the same professional service and fresh food quality as local Herricks events. Distance within our service area doesn’t affect our commitment to on-time delivery and professional execution.
