Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for just food. You need an event that runs smoothly while you focus on what matters – your guests, your business, your celebration.
When you choose professional catering, your mornings start without the stress of prep work. Your events flow seamlessly because someone else is managing the details. Your guests leave impressed, and you leave relaxed.
That’s what happens when you work with caterers who understand that great events aren’t just about great food – they’re about great execution.
Brendel’s Bagels has been Nassau County’s go-to catering choice for years, and there’s a reason families and businesses keep coming back. We’re the catering company that started as your neighborhood bagel shop and grew into something bigger.
Our kettle-cooked bagels built our reputation, but our full-service catering earned your trust. We understand Hewlett Bay Park’s high standards because we’ve been serving this community long enough to know what works.
From intimate family gatherings in those beautiful acre lots to corporate events that need to impress, we’ve catered them all. We’re local, we’re reliable, and we know that in a community like this, your reputation matters as much as ours.
First, you call us and tell us about your event. We’ll discuss your guest count, preferences, and any special requirements. No generic packages – we customize based on what you actually need.
Next, we plan your menu together. Whether you want our famous breakfast spreads, Italian specialties, or full BBQ service, we’ll walk through options that fit your event and budget. We handle dietary restrictions and special requests without making it complicated.
On event day, we arrive with everything. For BBQ catering, that means grills, utensils, and all the equipment. We set up, cook fresh on-site, serve your guests, and clean up afterward. You handle the hosting – we handle everything else.

Our breakfast catering covers everything from light continental spreads to hearty hot buffets. Fresh bagels with homemade cream cheeses, omelets made to order, and beverage packages that include coffee, tea, juices, and bottled water.
For lunch and dinner, we offer traditional favorites and Italian specialties. Our BBQ catering is where we really shine – we bring the grill directly to your Hewlett Bay Park location and cook everything fresh. Ribs, grilled chicken, burgers, and all the sides, prepared on-site while your guests mingle.
Corporate events, family celebrations, holiday parties – we’ve catered them all in Nassau County. We understand that in a community like Hewlett Bay Park, where homes sit on acre lots and expectations run high, the details matter. That’s why we use locally sourced ingredients when possible and prepare everything fresh, not reheated.
For most events, two weeks notice works well, but we recommend booking earlier during busy seasons like holidays or graduation time. If you’re planning a large corporate event or wedding, a month ahead gives us time to coordinate all the details properly.
We can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, especially for smaller gatherings. The key is calling us as soon as you know you need catering – we’ll let you know what’s possible and work with your timeline.
For our BBQ catering, we bring all the cooking and serving equipment – grills, utensils, chafing dishes, serving tables, and everything needed to prepare and serve food. We also provide plates, cups, napkins, and utensils for your guests.
Tables and chairs for seating are typically something you’ll need to arrange separately, though we can recommend local rental companies if needed. Our focus is on the food preparation and service side – we want to make sure that part is completely handled so you can focus on the other event details.
Our BBQ catering is a full-service experience. We bring the grills, gas, all cooking equipment, and set up at your location. Our grill masters cook everything fresh on-site – no reheated food from a kitchen somewhere else.
The service includes setup, cooking, serving, and complete cleanup. We’ll wrap up any leftovers for you to enjoy later. You get to stay with your guests instead of standing behind a hot grill all day. It’s the difference between hosting an event and actually enjoying it.
Yes, we work with dietary restrictions regularly. Whether someone needs gluten-free options, vegetarian dishes, or has specific allergies, we’ll discuss alternatives that work for your group.
The key is letting us know about these requirements when we’re planning your menu. We can modify most of our dishes or suggest alternatives that fit within your budget and event style. We’d rather know upfront than have someone at your event who can’t eat anything.
Pricing depends on your guest count, menu selections, and service level. Our breakfast catering starts at one price point, while full BBQ service with on-site cooking is different. We’ll give you a clear quote based on exactly what you need.
We believe in transparent pricing – no hidden fees or surprises. When we quote your event, that’s what you’ll pay. We’re known in Nassau County for fair pricing that matches the quality of service you receive. Call us with your event details and we’ll give you specific numbers.
We cater throughout Nassau County and Suffolk County on Long Island. Hewlett Bay Park, the Five Towns area, and surrounding communities are all within our regular service area.
For BBQ catering where we’re bringing grills and cooking on-site, we’ll travel anywhere the logistics make sense. Distance affects pricing slightly, but we’ve catered events across Long Island. If you’re planning an event outside our immediate area, just call us – we’ll let you know if we can make it work.
