Patchogue Catering Services
You get more than food delivery. You get authentic kettle-cooked bagels that taste like they should, Italian catering that doesn’t disappoint, and BBQ service where we bring the grills and do the work. No scrambling for utensils, no wondering if we’ll show up, no settling for mediocre food that makes your event forgettable.
Your guests leave talking about the food instead of complaining about it. Your morning meetings start with energy instead of stale pastries. Your events run smoothly because someone finally understands what “full service” actually means.
Whether you’re feeding 10 people or 200, you get the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that’s kept us serving Long Island for years.
Long Island Catering Company
We operate multiple locations across Long Island, but every single bagel still gets the traditional kettle-cooking treatment. We’re not cutting corners because we’ve grown – we’re maintaining the standards that made us grow in the first place.
Our catering team understands Patchogue businesses and families because we’re part of this community. We know what works for Suffolk County corporate events, what Long Island families expect for their celebrations, and what it takes to deliver consistently excellent service.
You’re not dealing with a faceless catering company that treats your event like just another order. You’re working with local professionals who understand that your reputation is on the line when you serve our food.
Catering Process Patchogue
You tell us what you need – bagel platters for the office, Italian catering for a celebration, or full BBQ service for your backyard event. We walk through menu options, dietary requirements, and logistics so there are no surprises.
We handle the prep using fresh, often locally-sourced ingredients. Our bagels get the traditional kettle treatment, our Italian dishes are made from scratch, and our BBQ setup includes everything from grills to cleanup.
On event day, we show up when we said we would, set up properly, and make sure everything runs smoothly. For BBQ catering, we bring our own equipment and staff. For other events, we ensure proper presentation and temperature control.
After your guests are satisfied, we handle cleanup so you can focus on what matters – not washing dishes or wondering where to put leftover equipment.

Patchogue Event Catering Options
Our catering menu includes traditional kettle-cooked bagels with premium cream cheeses, but that’s just the starting point. We offer Italian catering with authentic recipes, premium BBQ service with full equipment and staffing, dessert trays, and extensive sandwich and salad options.
For Patchogue’s business community, we understand the need for reliable corporate catering that impresses clients and keeps employees happy. Our breakfast platters work for early meetings, our lunch options handle midday events, and our dinner catering manages evening functions.
Long Island families choose us for celebrations because we handle the details they don’t want to worry about. Setup, presentation, dietary accommodations, and cleanup – we manage it so they can enjoy their own events.
Every catering order uses the same high-quality ingredients and preparation methods you’d get walking into our locations. Fresh bagels, quality meats and cheeses, locally-sourced produce when possible, and attention to detail that shows.
How far in advance should I place my catering order?
For standard bagel platters and smaller orders, 24-48 hours notice usually works fine. Larger events, BBQ catering, or busy periods like holidays need more lead time – typically a week or more.
The key is calling as soon as you know your date. We can often accommodate last-minute requests, but planning ahead ensures you get exactly what you want without stress. For recurring corporate orders, we can set up regular delivery schedules that make your life easier.
If you’re planning something big or during peak season, don’t wait. The earlier you call, the more options we have to make your event exactly what you’re envisioning.
What's included with your BBQ catering service?
We bring everything – grills, utensils, serving equipment, and staff to run the whole operation. You don’t rent equipment separately or worry about propane tanks and cleanup.
Our BBQ catering includes setup, cooking, serving, and complete breakdown afterward. We handle food safety, temperature control, and presentation so your guests get restaurant-quality BBQ without you becoming the cook and cleanup crew.
Menu options include various meats, sides, and accompaniments. We discuss dietary restrictions and preferences during planning so everyone at your event has something they can enjoy. The goal is for you to actually enjoy your own party instead of working through it.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Yes, and we handle this during the planning conversation, not as an afterthought. Gluten-free options, dairy-free choices, vegetarian selections – we discuss these upfront so there are no surprises on event day.
For corporate events especially, we know dietary accommodations aren’t optional. Someone always has restrictions, and leaving people out makes for awkward meetings and disappointed employees.
We work with you to ensure everyone at your event has good options, not just “something they can eat.” The goal is making sure all your guests feel included and well-fed, which makes your event more successful overall.
Do you deliver throughout Suffolk County or just Patchogue?
We serve throughout Long Island, not just Patchogue. Our multiple locations mean we can handle deliveries across Suffolk County efficiently without compromising food quality or timing.
Delivery fees and minimums vary by distance, but we’re transparent about costs upfront. For larger orders or regular corporate accounts, we often work out arrangements that make the logistics and pricing work for everyone.
The advantage of our multiple locations is reliable service even for events outside our immediate area. We’re not sending one truck from one kitchen – we have the infrastructure to handle Long Island-wide catering professionally.
What makes your bagels different from other catering options?
Traditional kettle-cooking method. Most places skip this step because it takes more time and effort, but it’s what creates the signature chewy interior and crispy exterior that makes a real New York bagel.
We use high-quality, often locally-sourced ingredients instead of cutting costs with cheaper substitutes. You can taste the difference in the bagels, the cream cheeses, and everything else we serve.
Every bagel is made fresh using the same process whether you’re buying one for breakfast or ordering 200 for a corporate event. We don’t have separate “catering quality” standards – you get the same product that keeps customers coming back to our locations every day.
How do you ensure food safety and proper temperature for catered events?
Professional food safety protocols from prep to service. Our staff is trained in proper food handling, temperature control, and safe transport procedures. This isn’t negotiable – your event and our reputation depend on getting this right.
For hot foods, we use proper warming equipment and monitor temperatures throughout service. Cold items stay properly chilled during transport and setup. We don’t cut corners on food safety because nobody wants their event remembered for the wrong reasons.
Our catering setup includes the right equipment for maintaining food quality and safety throughout your event. Whether it’s a two-hour morning meeting or an all-day celebration, your food stays fresh and safe from start to finish.
