How far in advance should I book catering in Northport?
Most planners book catering services 126 days before their event, but we can often accommodate shorter timelines depending on your event size and menu requirements.
For corporate events and smaller gatherings, two weeks notice usually works. Larger events like weddings or major corporate functions benefit from 4-6 weeks advance booking to ensure menu customization and staff availability.
Peak seasons—graduation time, holiday parties, wedding season—fill up faster. If your event falls during busy periods, earlier booking guarantees you get the menu and service level you want.
What's included in your full-service catering?
Full-service means we handle everything food-related so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors. Setup arrives before your guests. Professional staff serves throughout your event. Complete cleanup happens after.
For BBQ catering, we bring grills, utensils, serving equipment, and experienced staff to cook on-site. Italian catering includes all serving dishes, utensils, and warming equipment to keep food at proper temperatures.
Setup includes table arrangements, food displays, and service stations. Cleanup covers all equipment removal, dish collection, and site restoration. You get professional food service without the logistics headache.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Yes. What used to be considered “extra” dietary accommodations are now standard expectations for professional caterers. We regularly handle vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs.
Our chefs create flavorful alternatives that don’t feel like afterthoughts. Vegan options with real substance. Gluten-free choices that taste as good as regular menu items. We label everything clearly so guests with restrictions can eat confidently.
For corporate events, we often design menus that naturally accommodate multiple dietary needs without requiring separate dishes. This approach ensures everyone enjoys the same quality experience regardless of their dietary requirements.
Do you cater events outside of Northport?
We serve Northport and surrounding Long Island communities. Our service area covers Long Island extensively, similar to other established catering companies in the region.
Distance affects logistics and timing, so we evaluate each location individually. Most areas within reasonable driving distance of our Northport operations work fine. We factor travel time into setup schedules to ensure your food arrives fresh and service starts on time.
For events in adjacent towns, no problem. Longer distances require advance discussion to confirm timing and logistics work for your specific event requirements.
What makes your bagels different from other caterers?
Traditional kettle-cooking method. Most bagels get baked in regular ovens. Ours go through the authentic kettle-cooking process that creates the signature chewy interior and crispy exterior.
We use high-quality, often locally sourced ingredients. You taste the difference in texture and flavor. This isn’t mass-produced food—it’s crafted using methods that produce consistently better results.
The demand for local and artisanal products is booming as clients seek caterers who prioritize quality and craftsmanship. Our kettle-cooking process and ingredient sourcing reflect that commitment to authentic preparation methods.
How do you handle last-minute changes or additional guests?
We build flexibility into our planning process because events change. Guest counts shift. Dietary needs get discovered late. Menu preferences evolve.
For reasonable changes—adding 10-20% more guests, switching some menu items, adjusting service timing—we accommodate when possible. Earlier notice gives us more options, but we work with what you give us.
Significant changes like doubling guest count or completely changing menus require more lead time and may affect pricing. We’re upfront about what’s possible and what isn’t, so you can make informed decisions about your event adjustments.
