Stop Stressing About Food - Start Enjoying Your Event

You planned this event to bring people together, not to spend hours in the kitchen worrying about whether there’s enough food or if it’ll stay warm. When you work with a catering company that actually knows what we’re doing, you get to be present at your own event.

Your guests taste the difference when food is made fresh, not reheated from yesterday’s batch. They notice when someone takes care of the details – the right temperature, proper presentation, and flavors that actually deliver on what they promise.

That’s what happens when your caterer uses traditional cooking methods and sources ingredients locally. You get food that people remember, service that runs smoothly, and the peace of mind that comes from working with professionals who’ve done this thousands of times before.

Brendels Bagels Catering Nassau County

We've Been Feeding Long Island Right for Years

Brendels Bagels started with a simple idea – make bagels the way they’re supposed to be made, using traditional kettle-cooking methods that create that perfect crispy exterior and chewy interior. That same commitment to doing things right extends to everything else on our menu.

We’ve built our reputation across Nassau County by consistently delivering fresh, quality food that people can taste the difference in. Our ingredients are sourced locally when possible, our dishes are made to order, and our team understands that your event’s success depends on every detail being handled correctly.

From our multiple Long Island locations, we’ve catered everything from intimate family gatherings to large corporate events, always with the same focus on quality and service that made us New Hyde Park’s go-to catering choice.

How Our Catering Process Works

Simple Process, Professional Results Every Time

First, we talk through your event – guest count, dietary preferences, timing, and any special requirements. This isn’t a sales pitch; it’s a planning session to make sure we understand exactly what you need.

Next, we create a menu that fits your event and budget. Whether you want our signature bagel spreads, Italian specialties, or full BBQ service where we bring the grill and cook on-site, everything is prepared fresh using our traditional methods.

On event day, we handle setup, service, and cleanup. If you’ve chosen our BBQ catering, we arrive with all equipment and cook your food to order right at your location. Our professional staff ensures your guests are taken care of while you focus on hosting. When the event’s over, we clean up and pack out – leaving you with just the memories.

More Than Bagels - Full Service Catering Solutions

Our catering goes well beyond what most people expect from a bagel shop. Yes, we offer fresh bagel spreads with homemade cream cheeses, but we also provide complete Italian catering with traditional sauces and handmade pastas, premium BBQ service with on-site grilling, and comprehensive breakfast packages from continental options to hot buffets.

For New Hyde Park events, we’ve found that clients particularly appreciate our flexibility. Corporate breakfast meetings get our Sunrise Hot Breakfast Buffet or professional continental spreads. Family celebrations often choose our Italian catering – comfort food that brings people together. Outdoor events call for our BBQ service where we handle everything from grilling to sides to cleanup.

Each menu is designed around fresh, locally-sourced ingredients prepared using traditional methods. Our Italian dishes use authentic recipes, our bagels are kettle-cooked the old-fashioned way, and our BBQ is grilled fresh on-site. This isn’t mass-produced catering food – it’s restaurant-quality cuisine prepared specifically for your event.

How far in advance should I book catering for my New Hyde Park event?

For most events, booking 1-2 weeks in advance gives us plenty of time to prepare and ensures your preferred date is available. However, we understand that some events come up quickly, and we’ll do our best to accommodate shorter notice when possible.

During busy seasons like holidays or wedding season, booking 3-4 weeks ahead is recommended since our calendar fills up faster. Corporate events with specific timing requirements should also be booked earlier to ensure we can coordinate delivery and setup around your schedule.

If you have a last-minute event, call us anyway. We often have flexibility in our schedule and can work with you to create a solution, even if it means adjusting the menu slightly to accommodate the shorter timeframe.

Our BBQ catering is truly full-service. We bring all the grilling equipment, set up at your location, and cook everything fresh on-site. The menu includes traditional favorites like hamburgers, hot dogs, BBQ ribs, grilled chicken, and corn on the cob, plus freshly prepared sides like potato salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw.

All the fixings are included – buns, condiments, pickles, olives, utensils, and serving equipment. We can also provide professional wait staff to ensure your guests are attended to throughout the event, so you can relax and enjoy your own party.

After the event, we handle all cleanup and pack out our equipment. You’re left with a clean space and satisfied guests. This comprehensive service is what sets our BBQ catering apart from companies that just drop off food and leave.

Absolutely. We work with dietary restrictions regularly and can accommodate most needs including vegetarian, gluten-sensitive, and dairy-free options. Since we prepare everything fresh and make dishes to order, we have the flexibility to adjust recipes and preparation methods.

For our Italian catering, we can prepare pasta dishes with alternative ingredients or create vegetarian versions of our traditional recipes. Our breakfast catering includes options like fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits, and egg dishes that work for various dietary needs.

The key is letting us know about restrictions when we’re planning your menu. This allows us to suggest appropriate options and ensure we have the right ingredients on hand. We’d rather know upfront than have guests at your event who can’t enjoy the food.

Food safety and freshness are non-negotiable for us. All our dishes are prepared fresh the day of your event, not reheated from previous days. We use proper temperature-controlled transport to maintain food safety during delivery, and our serving equipment keeps hot foods hot and cold foods cold throughout your event.

For our BBQ catering, freshness isn’t an issue since we’re cooking everything on-site to order. For other menu items, we time preparation and delivery to ensure food arrives at peak freshness and is served within safe temperature ranges.

Our team is trained in proper food handling and service procedures. We monitor food temperatures during events and replace items as needed to maintain both safety and quality standards throughout your entire event.

We provide catering services throughout Nassau County and surrounding Long Island areas, with New Hyde Park being one of our primary service areas. Our multiple locations allow us to efficiently serve communities across the region while maintaining our quality and timing standards.

Delivery fees may vary based on distance and event size, but we work to keep costs reasonable while ensuring reliable service. For larger events or those requiring extensive setup, we factor in travel time to ensure our team arrives with adequate time for proper preparation.

If you’re unsure whether we serve your specific location, just call us. We’re often able to accommodate requests in areas slightly outside our normal service zone, especially for larger events or repeat clients.

The biggest difference is our commitment to traditional preparation methods and fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Our bagels are kettle-cooked the old-fashioned way, our Italian dishes use authentic recipes, and our BBQ is grilled fresh on-site rather than pre-cooked and reheated.

We also provide genuinely full-service catering. For BBQ events, we bring equipment and cook at your location. For all events, we handle setup, service, and complete cleanup. Many catering companies charge extra for these services or don’t offer them at all.

Finally, our experience matters. We’ve been serving Long Island for years and have catered thousands of events. We know how to handle the logistics, timing, and unexpected situations that come up during events. This experience means smoother service and better results for your event.
