Professional Catering Services Malverne Park Oaks
You know that moment when guests stop mid-conversation because the food is that good? That’s what happens when you choose catering that doesn’t cut corners.
Your event becomes the one people talk about weeks later. Not because of fancy presentations or theatrical setups, but because the bagels have that perfect chewy-crispy texture you can only get from traditional kettle cooking. Because the ingredients taste fresh enough that guests ask where you got the catering.
Most importantly, you get to enjoy your own event. No running to the kitchen, no coordinating servers, no cleanup panic at the end. You planned something special, and it actually feels special because someone else handled the details that usually stress you out.
Established Long Island Catering Company
Brendel’s Bagels has been serving Long Island communities with multiple locations because we figured out something important early on. People don’t just want food delivered to their event – they want the whole thing handled.
We’re the catering company that brings the grill to your backyard BBQ, sets up your corporate breakfast, and stays until the last plate is cleared. Our staff knows Malverne Park Oaks events because we’ve been doing this long enough to understand what works here.
When you see our team kettle-cooking bagels the traditional way or sourcing ingredients locally, you’re seeing the difference between catering that checks boxes and catering that actually cares about the outcome.
Full Service Catering Process
First, we talk through your event details – guest count, preferences, any dietary needs, and what kind of setup works for your space. No generic packages or forcing you into options that don’t fit.
Next, we handle the logistics you don’t want to think about. Menu preparation using our traditional methods, coordinating arrival times, bringing all necessary equipment and serving pieces. For BBQ events, we literally bring the grill and everything needed to cook on-site.
On event day, our professional staff arrives early for complete setup, serves your guests, and handles all cleanup afterward. You focus on hosting while we focus on making sure the food and service represent you well. When we leave, your space is back to normal and your event was exactly what you wanted it to be.

Comprehensive Catering Menu Options
Our catering includes way more than most companies offer. We handle Italian catering for family gatherings, premium BBQ where we bring the grill directly to your location, dessert trays that actually impress, plus all the sandwich and salad options you’d expect from a quality deli.
In Malverne Park Oaks, we see a lot of corporate events that need reliable breakfast catering, family celebrations that want something special but not stuffy, and community gatherings where the food needs to satisfy everyone from kids to grandparents. Our diverse menu handles all of it.
What makes this work is our commitment to fresh, often locally-sourced ingredients and traditional preparation methods. When you choose our catering services, you’re getting food that tastes like someone actually cares about quality, served by staff that knows how to represent your event professionally.
How far in advance should I book catering services?
For most events, booking 1-2 weeks ahead gives us enough time to source fresh ingredients and coordinate our staff schedule properly. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller gatherings – it just depends on what else we have scheduled.
During busy seasons like graduation time or holiday periods, booking 3-4 weeks ahead is smarter. Not because we can’t handle the volume, but because you’ll have more flexibility in menu options and timing when we’re not juggling multiple large events on the same weekend.
If you’re planning something last-minute, call us anyway. We’d rather have the conversation and see what’s possible than have you settle for catering that doesn’t meet your standards.
What's included in your full-service catering?
Full-service means we handle everything from setup to cleanup. We arrive early to set up serving areas, bring all necessary serving pieces and utensils, provide professional staff to serve your guests, and completely clean up afterward so your space is back to normal.
For BBQ catering, we bring the grill, all cooking equipment, and handle the actual grilling on-site. For other events, we coordinate timing so food arrives at proper serving temperature and stays that way throughout your event.
The goal is simple – you shouldn’t have to think about food logistics during your event. You planned something special for your guests, and our job is making sure the catering part exceeds their expectations while you focus on hosting.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Yes, and we actually plan for this from the beginning rather than treating it like an afterthought. When we discuss your event, we ask about dietary needs because it’s easier to plan the right menu than to scramble with substitutions later.
We regularly handle vegetarian options, gluten-sensitive requests, and other common dietary considerations. Our diverse menu beyond just bagels means we can usually find options that work for everyone without making anyone feel like they’re getting the “special” plate.
For more complex dietary needs, the key is discussing this during planning so we can source appropriate ingredients and prepare items safely. We’d rather know upfront and plan properly than promise something we can’t deliver well.
What areas do you serve for catering delivery?
We serve Malverne Park Oaks and surrounding Long Island communities from our multiple locations. The specific delivery area depends on event size and timing, but we’re set up to handle most requests within a reasonable distance from our stores.
For larger events or premium services like our BBQ catering where we bring equipment and grill on-site, we can often extend our service area because the event size justifies the additional coordination.
The best approach is calling us with your location and event details. We’ll let you know immediately if we can serve your area and what timing works best. No point in guessing when we can give you a definitive answer right away.
How do you ensure food quality and freshness for events?
Our food quality starts with traditional kettle-cooking methods for bagels and sourcing fresh, often local ingredients for everything else. We’re not cutting corners on preparation because that’s literally what makes the difference your guests will taste.
For catering events, we coordinate timing so food is prepared as close to serving time as possible while still allowing for proper setup. Hot items stay hot, cold items stay properly chilled, and everything arrives at peak quality.
Our multiple Long Island locations mean we can prepare your order at the location that makes the most sense for timing and logistics. This isn’t about convenience for us – it’s about making sure your catering represents the quality standards you expect when you choose Brendel’s.
What's the difference between your catering and typical deli catering?
The biggest difference is that we actually handle the event logistics, not just food delivery. Most deli catering drops off platters and leaves you to figure out setup, serving, and cleanup. We bring staff, handle setup, serve your guests professionally, and clean up completely afterward.
Our food preparation is different too. Traditional kettle-cooking for bagels, fresh and locally-sourced ingredients, and menu options that go way beyond typical deli fare. We do Italian catering, premium BBQ where we grill on-site, dessert trays, plus all the sandwich and salad options you’d expect.
Basically, we’re the catering company that treats your event like it matters to us too. Not just another delivery, but something that should represent you well and give your guests an experience worth remembering.
