Huntington Bay Catering Company
Brendel’s Bagels has been serving Long Island communities for years, and we’ve built our reputation on something simple: doing what we say we’ll do. Our multiple locations across Long Island mean we understand local tastes and local expectations.
Our traditional kettle-cooking method isn’t just for show – it’s how we create that signature chewy interior and crispy exterior that sets our bagels apart from the mass-produced alternatives. Every bagel is crafted using high-quality, fresh ingredients that you can actually taste.
What makes us different in Huntington Bay’s competitive catering market is our comprehensive approach. We don’t just drop off food and disappear. Our professional staff handles setup, service, and cleanup, turning your catering into a seamless experience rather than another item on your to-do list.
Catering Process Huntington Bay
First, you tell us what you need. Whether it’s breakfast for 10 or lunch for 100, we’ll work with you to create a menu that fits your event and budget. Our extensive options go far beyond bagels – think Italian catering, premium BBQ with on-site grills, and dessert selections that actually impress.
Next, we handle the logistics. Our team coordinates timing, setup requirements, and any special accommodations. If you need dietary modifications or have specific presentation requirements, we build that into the plan from the start.
On event day, our professional staff arrives with everything needed. For BBQ catering, that means bringing the grill, utensils, and trained personnel. For breakfast meetings, it means fresh bagels, quality spreads, and proper presentation. We set up, serve if needed, and clean up afterward.
You focus on your guests or your meeting. We focus on making sure the food service runs smoothly and professionally. It’s that straightforward.

Catering Options Huntington Bay
Huntington Bay’s business community expects quality, and Brendel’s delivers with options that go well beyond typical catering fare. Our breakfast catering features those signature kettle-cooked bagels alongside fresh pastries, quality coffee service, and customizable spreads.
For corporate lunch events, we offer Italian catering with authentic flavors, sandwich platters made with premium ingredients, and salads that don’t taste like they’ve been sitting in a cooler all day. Everything is prepared fresh and delivered at the right temperature.
Our premium BBQ catering service is where we really differentiate ourselves in the Long Island market. We bring the grill directly to your location along with trained staff who handle the entire cooking process. Your guests get restaurant-quality grilled food without you having to coordinate multiple vendors or worry about equipment.
Huntington Bay’s professional community appreciates attention to detail, and that’s exactly what we provide. From dietary accommodations to presentation standards that work for client meetings or employee celebrations, we understand that catering often represents your organization to important people.
How far in advance should I book catering for my Huntington Bay event?
For most events, booking 3-5 business days in advance ensures you get your preferred date and full menu options. However, we understand that business needs don’t always follow predictable schedules.
For smaller breakfast or lunch orders (under 25 people), we can often accommodate 24-48 hour notice, depending on our current schedule. Larger events, specialty services like BBQ catering, or events during busy seasons typically need that full week advance notice.
If you have a last-minute need, it’s worth calling anyway. Our multiple Long Island locations and experienced team mean we can sometimes work with tighter timelines, especially for our core menu items.
What's included in your full-service catering for corporate events?
Full-service means we handle setup, service, and cleanup so you don’t have to coordinate multiple moving parts. Our team arrives with all necessary serving equipment, arranges the food presentation professionally, and can provide serving staff if your event requires it.
For BBQ catering, this includes bringing the grill, all cooking equipment, trained grill staff, and handling the entire cooking process on-site. For breakfast and lunch catering, it means proper food warming equipment, serving utensils, and professional presentation that works for client meetings or employee events.
Cleanup is thorough – we pack up all equipment, dispose of waste properly, and leave your space ready for whatever comes next. This comprehensive approach is particularly valuable for busy Huntington Bay professionals who need catering that doesn’t create additional work.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests for our office?
Yes, and we build accommodations into the planning process from the start rather than treating them as afterthoughts. Common requests include gluten-free options, vegetarian and vegan selections, dairy-free alternatives, and low-sodium choices for health-conscious teams.
Our kitchen team understands cross-contamination concerns and can prepare items separately when needed. For bagel-based items, we offer gluten-free bagels and can ensure separate preparation areas are used.
We also handle cultural dietary requirements and can customize menus for specific preferences. The key is communicating these needs when you place your order so we can source appropriate ingredients and adjust our preparation methods accordingly.
What makes your BBQ catering different from other Long Island caterers?
Most caterers either don’t offer BBQ or they pre-cook everything and reheat it at your location. Brendel’s brings the actual grill and trained grill staff directly to your Huntington Bay event, cooking everything fresh on-site.
This means your guests get restaurant-quality grilled food that’s prepared to order rather than food that’s been sitting in warming trays. Our grill team handles the entire cooking process, manages timing to ensure everything is ready when you need it, and maintains proper food safety throughout.
We provide all grilling equipment, serving equipment, and cleanup afterward. For corporate events or celebrations where you want to impress clients or employees, this level of service creates a memorable experience that goes beyond typical catering.
How do you ensure food quality and freshness for larger events?
Our quality starts with sourcing – we use high-quality, fresh ingredients and often source locally when possible. Our traditional kettle-cooking method for bagels ensures authentic texture and flavor that you can’t get from mass-produced alternatives.
For larger events, we coordinate preparation timing so food is made as close to service time as possible. Our multiple Long Island locations allow us to distribute preparation across facilities when needed, ensuring nothing sits too long before delivery.
Temperature control is maintained throughout transport and service using professional-grade equipment. Our experienced staff knows how to manage food safety for events of all sizes, and we have backup procedures in place for unexpected situations.
What are your most popular catering options for Huntington Bay businesses?
Breakfast catering is extremely popular, especially our signature bagel spreads with multiple cream cheese options, fresh pastries, and quality coffee service. Many Huntington Bay businesses use this for morning meetings, client presentations, or employee appreciation events.
Italian catering has become increasingly popular for lunch meetings and corporate events. Our authentic flavors and fresh preparation work well for both casual team lunches and more formal client entertainment.
Our premium BBQ catering service is often chosen for special events, employee celebrations, and client appreciation gatherings where businesses want to create a memorable experience. The on-site grilling adds an interactive element that guests remember, and the food quality exceeds typical catering expectations.
