What Happens When Food Actually Matters

Your guests remember two things about any event: how they felt and what they ate. When you choose catering that’s actually fresh, made-to-order, and prepared by people who care about flavor, everything changes.

You stop worrying about whether the food will be good enough. You stop making excuses for mediocre meals. Instead, you get to watch your guests genuinely enjoy what they’re eating.

That’s what happens when you work with a catering company that’s been perfecting its craft across Long Island for years, using locally-sourced ingredients and traditional cooking methods that make a real difference.

Brendels Bagels North Bellmore

The Bagel Shop That Became Nassau County's Go-To Caterer

We started with a simple idea: make the best bagels on Long Island using traditional kettle-cooking methods. That commitment to quality and freshness naturally led to catering.

Today, we’re one of Nassau County’s leading catering companies, serving everything from intimate brunches to large corporate events. What sets us apart isn’t just our famous bagels—it’s our approach to every dish we prepare.

We use locally-sourced ingredients when possible, prepare everything to order, and bring the same attention to detail whether we’re making a dozen bagels or catering a wedding for 200 people.

Catering Menu North Bellmore

What You Get With North Bellmore's Premier Caterer

We offer the kind of menu variety that actually makes sense for Long Island events. Our BBQ catering brings fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy grilled chicken, burgers, and hot dogs directly to your location with full setup and service.

For Italian catering, think hearty sandwiches, fulfilling pastas, and savory sauces that satisfy. Our breakfast catering ranges from continental spreads to hot buffets, always featuring our signature kettle-cooked bagels with homemade cream cheese.

North Bellmore residents particularly appreciate our flexibility. We’ll work with your specific venue requirements, accommodate dietary restrictions, and adjust portions based on your guest count. Whether it’s a backyard birthday party, corporate lunch, or holiday celebration, we adapt our service to fit your needs rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all package.

How far in advance should I book catering in North Bellmore?

For most events, two weeks notice gives you the best selection and ensures availability. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on your date and guest count.

Peak seasons like summer wedding season, holidays, and graduation time fill up faster, so booking a month ahead during these periods is smart. For large corporate events or weddings, give us as much notice as possible.

The benefit of booking early isn’t just availability—it’s also planning time. We can work with you to refine the menu, discuss venue logistics, and make sure every detail is covered before your event date.

BBQ catering includes everything needed for a complete outdoor cooking experience. We bring commercial-grade grills, all utensils, serving equipment, and ingredients to your location.

Our grillmasters handle all the cooking on-site, so you get that fresh-off-the-grill taste without any of the work. We’ll set up in your backyard, at a park, beach, or other venue, and manage the entire cooking process from start to finish.

Setup and cleanup are included, which means you don’t have to worry about propane, cleaning grills, or disposing of cooking equipment. We arrive early to set up and stay until everything is cleaned and packed away.

Yes, we work with various dietary needs including vegetarian, gluten-free, and other restrictions. The key is discussing these requirements when you first call so we can plan accordingly.

Our made-to-order approach makes accommodation easier than caterers who rely on pre-made dishes. We can modify recipes, prepare separate items, or suggest menu alternatives that work for your guests’ needs.

For events with multiple dietary requirements, we’ll often create a menu that naturally includes options for everyone rather than making special accommodations feel like an afterthought.

We serve all of Nassau County and much of Long Island for catering. North Bellmore is centrally located to our service area, which includes communities like Bellmore, Merrick, Wantagh, Seaford, and surrounding towns.

We have four Long Island locations, which helps us efficiently serve a wide geographic area without compromising on food quality or service timing. Distance isn’t usually an issue within our service region.

For events outside our typical service area, we’ll evaluate each request individually. The main factors are ensuring we can deliver fresh food and provide the level of service our reputation depends on.

Pricing depends on your menu selection, guest count, service level, and event location. BBQ catering with full service costs more than drop-off breakfast platters, for example.

We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific needs rather than using generic per-person pricing. This approach ensures you’re not paying for services you don’t need while getting everything your event requires.

Most clients find our pricing competitive for the quality and service level we provide, especially when comparing to other caterers who offer similar fresh, made-to-order food and full-service options.

The biggest difference is our approach to freshness and service. While many caterers rely on pre-made food that sits in warmers, we prepare everything to order and, for BBQ events, cook on-site.

Our traditional kettle-cooking method for bagels and commitment to locally-sourced ingredients when possible sets us apart from chain catering companies. You can taste the difference in quality.

The full-service aspect also matters. We don’t just drop off food—we handle setup, cooking, serving, and cleanup so you can focus on your guests instead of logistics. It’s the kind of service that turns a good event into a memorable one.
