More Than Just Food Delivery

Your catering service should handle more than just dropping off food. We provide comprehensive event support that covers every detail you don’t want to worry about.

Our breakfast catering features those signature kettle-cooked bagels with fresh cream cheese varieties, premium coffee service, and complete setup. Lunch options include gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads, and sides that complement any business meeting or casual gathering.

For larger events, our Italian catering brings restaurant-quality dishes, while our BBQ catering includes on-site grilling with professional staff managing everything from cooking to serving. We supply all plates, utensils, serving equipment, and handle complete cleanup afterward.

In Hewlett Harbor’s discerning market, details matter. We source locally when possible, accommodate dietary restrictions, and ensure presentation meets the community’s standards.

How far in advance should I book catering for my Hewlett Harbor event?

We recommend booking at least one week in advance for standard catering orders, though we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and your event size. For larger events or specialty services like our BBQ catering with on-site grilling, two weeks notice ensures we can reserve the necessary staff and equipment.

Peak seasons like holidays, graduation season, and summer months fill up faster, so earlier booking is always better. If you have a last-minute need, call us anyway – we’ll do everything possible to make your event successful.

We serve Hewlett Harbor and the surrounding Nassau County communities, including Woodmere, Hewlett Neck, Valley Stream, Cedarhurst, and Lawrence. Our multiple Long Island locations allow us to efficiently serve the broader area while maintaining our quality standards.

Delivery fees vary based on distance and order size, but we’re transparent about all costs upfront. For our premium BBQ catering service where we bring grills and staff to your location, we cover a wider radius to accommodate larger events that require our full-service approach.

Absolutely. We regularly handle dietary restrictions including gluten-free options, vegetarian and vegan preferences, and various allergies. Our fresh preparation methods make it easier to customize orders compared to pre-packaged catering.

When you place your order, let us know about any dietary needs. We can adjust ingredients, provide separate serving options, or suggest menu items that naturally accommodate restrictions. Our Italian catering includes many naturally vegetarian options, and we always have fresh salads and sides that work for various dietary preferences.

Our BBQ catering is truly full-service – we bring everything needed for a complete outdoor cooking experience. This includes professional-grade grills, all cooking utensils, serving equipment, plates, napkins, and utensils for your guests.

Our staff handles the entire process from setup to cleanup. We arrive early to set up cooking stations, manage all food preparation and grilling on-site, serve your guests, and handle complete cleanup afterward. You provide the space, we provide everything else including the expertise to ensure perfectly cooked food.

Menu options include various meats, sides, and accompaniments. We can customize the offerings based on your preferences and guest count.

Our pricing varies based on menu selection, guest count, and service level. Breakfast catering with bagel platters and coffee service starts at one price point, while full Italian catering or BBQ service with on-site cooking represents a higher service level.

We provide detailed quotes upfront so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees – delivery charges, setup costs, and any additional services are clearly outlined. We believe in fair, affordable pricing that reflects the quality and service level you receive.

For accurate pricing on your specific event, call us with your details. We’ll discuss options that fit your budget while meeting your event’s needs.

Three key differences set us apart: our traditional kettle-cooking method for authentic bagels, our comprehensive service approach, and our local community focus. While many caterers use shortcuts or pre-made items, we maintain traditional preparation methods that create noticeable quality differences.

Our service goes beyond food delivery. Whether it’s breakfast catering with complete coffee service setup or BBQ catering where we bring grills and handle everything on-site, we provide solutions that eliminate stress for event hosts.

Finally, we’re part of the Long Island community with multiple local locations. We understand the expectations and standards in areas like Hewlett Harbor, and our reputation depends on consistently meeting those standards for every event we serve.
