Catering Process Lattingtown NY
First, we discuss your event details – date, location, guest count, and any specific preferences or dietary requirements. We’ll work with you to create a menu that fits your occasion and budget, whether you want traditional bagel spreads, Italian specialties, or our full BBQ experience.
Next, we handle all the logistics. For BBQ catering, we arrive with professional-grade grills, utensils, and everything needed to cook fresh on-site. Our trained staff sets up the entire operation at your location, whether that’s your backyard, office, or event venue.
During your event, our team manages all the cooking and serving while you enjoy time with your guests. We monitor food temperatures, keep everything stocked, and handle any requests that come up. When it’s over, we break down all equipment and clean up completely, leaving your space exactly as we found it.

Full Service Event Catering
Our catering services go well beyond dropping off trays and hoping for the best. We provide complete event support tailored to Lattingtown’s high standards and busy lifestyles.
For breakfast catering, we offer everything from light continental spreads with our signature bagels and cream cheeses to hearty options with eggs, bacon, and fresh pastries. Corporate lunch catering includes custom hero sandwiches made with Boar’s Head Select meats, fresh salads, and options that work for various dietary preferences.
Our BBQ catering is particularly popular in this area because we bring the entire operation to you. Professional grills, experienced grill masters, all utensils, sides like potato salad and coleslaw made fresh that day, and complete cleanup service. We even provide wait staff if you want your guests to have that extra level of attention. Italian catering features traditional dishes prepared with authentic recipes and the highest quality ingredients we can source.
How far in advance should I book catering for my Lattingtown event?
We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance for most events, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule. For larger corporate events or during busy seasons like holidays, booking 4-6 weeks ahead ensures you get your preferred date and menu options.
Popular dates fill up quickly, especially for weekend events and corporate functions during peak business seasons. The earlier you book, the more flexibility we have to customize your menu and ensure we have adequate staff assigned to your event.
If you have a last-minute need, still give us a call. We maintain some flexibility in our schedule and may be able to help, particularly for smaller gatherings or standard menu options that don’t require extensive preparation time.
Do you provide tables, chairs, and other equipment for events?
Yes, we can coordinate tables, chairs, tents, and other event equipment as part of our full-service catering. This is particularly helpful for outdoor events or locations that don’t have adequate seating and serving areas.
We work with trusted local vendors to provide quality equipment that matches the professional standard of our food service. Everything is delivered, set up, and removed as part of the service, so you don’t have to manage multiple vendors or worry about pickup and return.
For indoor events at offices or homes with existing furniture, we bring our own serving equipment, chafing dishes, and professional-grade warmers to ensure food stays at proper temperatures throughout your event. Just let us know your venue situation when we discuss your catering needs.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Absolutely. We regularly accommodate various dietary needs including vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and other specific requirements. The key is letting us know about these needs when you book so we can plan appropriate menu modifications.
Our chefs are experienced in preparing alternatives that don’t compromise on taste or presentation. For example, we can provide gluten-free bagel options, dairy-free cream cheese alternatives, or vegetarian protein options for our Italian dishes and BBQ spreads.
We also handle special requests like custom sandwich combinations, specific cooking preferences for meats, or family recipe modifications. Our goal is making sure every guest at your event has delicious options they can actually enjoy, not just something they can technically eat.
What's included in your BBQ catering service?
Our BBQ catering is truly full-service. We bring professional-grade grills, all cooking utensils, propane, and everything needed to cook your food fresh on-site. This includes our experienced grill masters who handle all the cooking while you enjoy your guests.
The menu typically includes your choice of meats like burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and ribs, plus fresh sides like potato salad, coleslaw, and corn on the cob. All condiments, buns, and fixings are included, along with serving utensils and proper food warming equipment.
After your event, we handle complete cleanup including breaking down the grills, disposing of any waste properly, and leaving your space clean. If you want additional services like wait staff or bartending, we can coordinate that as well. The goal is giving you a restaurant-quality BBQ experience without any of the work or cleanup.
How do you ensure food stays fresh during longer events?
Food safety and freshness are priorities we take seriously, especially for events lasting several hours. We use professional-grade warming equipment and chafing dishes that maintain proper temperatures throughout your event.
Our staff monitors food temperatures regularly and replaces items as needed to ensure everything stays fresh and safe. For cold items like salads and desserts, we bring appropriate cooling equipment and manage timing so nothing sits out longer than recommended.
We also prepare food in batches when possible, bringing out fresh items as needed rather than setting everything out at once. This approach keeps food at peak quality and ensures guests who eat later in the event get the same fresh experience as those who eat immediately when service begins.
What areas around Lattingtown do you serve for catering?
We provide catering services throughout Nassau County and parts of Suffolk County, including all areas around Lattingtown like Locust Valley, Glen Cove, Oyster Bay, and surrounding communities. Distance isn’t typically an issue within our service area.
Our delivery and setup fees are structured to be fair regardless of location within our coverage zone. We’re familiar with venues throughout the area and can provide recommendations for locations if you’re still deciding where to host your event.
If you’re planning an event outside our typical service area, give us a call anyway. We sometimes make exceptions for larger events or special circumstances, and we can discuss whether we can accommodate your location and what that might involve in terms of logistics and pricing.
