Hear from Our Customers
You’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about the actual plates. When you choose professional catering services, your biggest concern becomes which compliments to accept first.
No more racing around the kitchen while your guests mingle without you. No more wondering if there’s enough food or if it tastes right. No more cleanup that lasts longer than the party itself.
Your event runs smoothly because someone who knows what they’re doing is handling the food. You get to be the host you wanted to be – present, relaxed, and focused on what matters most.
Brendels Bagels has been serving Nassau County for years, and we understand what works for events in this area. We’re not just another catering company – we’re the local team that knows your neighborhood, your venues, and what your guests expect.
Our kettle-cooked bagels built our reputation, but our full-service catering keeps families and businesses coming back. We use fresh, often locally sourced ingredients because that’s what makes the difference between good food and food people remember.
From Muttontown corporate meetings to backyard celebrations, we’ve seen what makes events successful here. It’s attention to detail, reliable service, and food that actually tastes like someone cares about making it right.
First, we talk through your event. What kind of gathering, how many people, what style of food fits the occasion. We listen to what you want and suggest what works based on what we’ve learned from hundreds of Nassau County events.
Then we plan your menu. Whether you want our Italian specialties, fresh BBQ we grill on-site, or breakfast spreads that get people talking, we customize everything to fit your event and budget. No generic packages – this is your menu.
On event day, we show up with everything. For BBQ catering, that means bringing our grills, utensils, and staff right to your location. We set up, cook fresh, serve your guests, and handle all the cleanup. You focus on enjoying your event while we make sure the food part runs perfectly.

In Nassau County, outdoor events are popular, and we’re equipped for them. We bring all the equipment needed for fresh, on-site cooking. Your backyard becomes a professional kitchen without any of the stress on your end.
What sets us apart in the Muttontown area is our complete approach. We don’t just drop off food and leave. We handle setup, cooking, service, and cleanup. When we say full-service, we mean you literally don’t have to think about the food aspect of your event once you hire us.
For most events, two weeks notice gives us plenty of time to plan your menu and coordinate logistics. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and the size of your event.
Larger events or busy seasons like holidays and wedding season benefit from earlier booking. If you have a specific date in mind, especially for weekend events, calling sooner protects your preferred date.
We’re flexible with menu changes up to a few days before your event, so don’t worry about having every detail locked in when you first call. The important thing is securing your date and getting the planning process started.
We serve all of Nassau County and surrounding Long Island areas. Muttontown, East Norwich, Syosset, Jericho, Hicksville – if you’re in our general service area, we can cater your event.
Our delivery and setup teams know the local venues, neighborhoods, and logistics that come with Nassau County events. We factor in travel time and local considerations when planning your service.
Distance doesn’t typically affect our base catering prices within our service area. We include delivery, setup, and service in our standard pricing, so you won’t see surprise charges for being a few towns over.
Absolutely. Indoor events are straightforward – we work with your venue’s kitchen facilities and coordinate with their staff as needed. We bring our own serving equipment and handle all the food preparation and presentation.
For outdoor events, we bring everything needed including grills for BBQ catering, serving stations, and all utensils. We’re experienced with backyard parties, park events, and outdoor corporate gatherings throughout Nassau County.
Weather backup plans are part of outdoor event planning. We discuss contingencies when we plan your menu and can adapt our setup based on conditions. Our team has handled outdoor events in all kinds of weather and knows how to keep your food service running smoothly.
Yes, we work with dietary restrictions regularly. Vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free – let us know what your guests need and we’ll plan accordingly. Our made-to-order approach makes it easier to accommodate special requirements.
For food allergies, we take extra precautions in preparation and clearly label items. We can prepare certain dishes separately if cross-contamination is a concern for any of your guests.
Custom menu requests are welcome too. If you have specific dishes in mind or want to incorporate family recipes, we can often work those into your catering plan. The key is discussing these needs when we plan your menu so we can prepare properly.
Full-service means we handle everything food-related for your event. Menu planning, food preparation, delivery, setup, service during your event, and complete cleanup afterward. You don’t touch a dish or worry about timing.
For BBQ catering, we bring grills, utensils, serving equipment, and staff to cook on-site. For other catering styles, we bring serving stations, warmers, and everything needed to present your food properly.
Our staff can serve your guests directly or set up buffet-style depending on your preference. We coordinate timing so food comes out when you want it, stays at proper temperatures, and looks great throughout your event. Cleanup happens while you’re still enjoying your guests.
Pricing depends on your menu choices, guest count, and service level. We provide detailed quotes after discussing your specific needs – no hidden fees or surprise charges later.
Smaller events aren’t proportionally more expensive per person. We understand intimate gatherings still deserve the same quality and service as larger events. Our pricing reflects the actual costs of your menu and service requirements.
We work with different budgets and can suggest menu options that fit your spending plan while still delivering the quality we’re known for. The goal is creating the right catering solution for your event, not pushing you toward the most expensive options.
