Hear from Our Customers
You know the feeling when everything just works. Your guests are talking about the food instead of complaining about it. The setup happened seamlessly while you focused on what mattered. The cleanup disappeared without you lifting a finger.
That’s what happens when you work with caterers who understand Pine Aire events. We’ve seen too many hosts stress over unreliable service or settle for mediocre food that leaves guests underwhelmed.
Our catering transforms your event into the kind people remember for the right reasons. Fresh, quality ingredients prepared with care. Professional service that handles every detail. And the peace of mind that comes from working with people who’ve been doing this right across Long Island for years.
Brendel’s Bagels has been serving Long Island communities with more than just great bagels—we’re a full-service catering company that understands what Pine Aire events need. Our traditional kettle-cooking method creates bagels with that perfect chewy interior and crispy exterior that sets the foundation for exceptional catering.
We source high-quality, often local ingredients because you can taste the difference. From our signature bagels to Italian specialties and premium BBQ catering, we’ve built our reputation on consistency and care.
Multiple locations across Long Island mean we understand the local market, the timing, and what works for events in communities like Pine Aire. When you work with us, you’re working with people who live and serve here.
First, we talk through your event needs—guest count, dietary preferences, timing, and any special requirements. No generic packages here; we customize based on what your specific event demands.
Next, we handle the preparation using our traditional methods and fresh ingredients. Whether it’s our kettle-cooked bagels, Italian specialties, or premium BBQ where we bring the grill and staff directly to your location, everything is prepared to our quality standards.
On event day, our professional team arrives early for complete setup. We handle serving, maintain food quality throughout your event, and take care of cleanup afterward. You focus on your guests while we handle everything else. That’s how catering should work.

Our catering extends far beyond breakfast. While our traditional kettle-cooked bagels anchor many events, we offer comprehensive Italian catering, dessert trays, and premium BBQ services that bring the full experience to your Pine Aire location.
For BBQ catering, we bring everything—grills, utensils, professional staff, and handle the entire process from setup to cleanup. This level of complete service means you’re not coordinating multiple vendors or worrying about missing pieces.
Pine Aire events benefit from our extensive menu variety. Corporate meetings need reliable breakfast and lunch options. Family celebrations require diverse choices that satisfy different tastes. Community events demand quality food that represents well. Our range of sandwiches, salads, baked goods, and specialized offerings ensures your specific event needs are covered completely.
For most Pine Aire events, booking 1-2 weeks ahead ensures availability and proper preparation time. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller events, especially during weekdays.
Larger events or those during busy seasons (holidays, graduation periods, wedding season) benefit from 3-4 weeks advance booking. This gives us time to coordinate staffing, secure specialty ingredients, and ensure your preferred date and time slot.
If you’re planning a recurring corporate catering schedule or annual community event, booking months ahead locks in your preferred arrangements and often provides better pricing options.
Our full-service catering covers everything from arrival to departure. We arrive early to set up serving stations, arrange food presentation, and prepare any equipment needed for your specific menu items.
During your event, our staff maintains food quality, replenishes items as needed, and handles any serving requirements. For premium BBQ catering, this includes managing the grills and ensuring proper food safety throughout the cooking process.
Cleanup is complete—we pack up all equipment, dispose of waste properly, and leave your Pine Aire location exactly as we found it. You won’t find leftover serving dishes or equipment to deal with after your guests leave.
Yes, we regularly handle various dietary needs including vegetarian, gluten-conscious options, and specific food allergies. Our extensive menu and fresh preparation methods allow for customization that many catering companies can’t match.
When you book, we discuss any dietary restrictions or special requests upfront. Our kitchen can modify recipes, provide separate preparation for allergy concerns, and suggest menu items that work for your specific needs.
For Pine Aire corporate events, we often create mixed menus that satisfy diverse dietary preferences without requiring separate orders. This approach keeps things simple while ensuring everyone has quality options they can actually eat.
We serve Pine Aire and surrounding Long Island communities from our multiple locations. Our service area covers the broader Nassau County region, ensuring reliable delivery and setup timing for your event.
Having multiple Long Island locations means we understand local logistics—traffic patterns, venue access, and timing considerations that affect catering success in Pine Aire and nearby areas.
For events outside our standard service area, we evaluate each request individually. Distance affects pricing and logistics, but we work with clients when possible to accommodate special locations or circumstances.
Food quality maintenance is built into our service approach. We use proper heating and cooling equipment to maintain safe temperatures throughout your event, regardless of duration.
Our staff actively monitors food quality, rotating items as needed and replenishing with fresh preparations. For longer events, we often schedule mid-event restocking to ensure the last guests receive the same quality as the first.
Temperature control is especially important for our fresh ingredients and traditional bagel preparations. We bring the equipment necessary to maintain quality standards, whether your Pine Aire event runs two hours or all day.
Our traditional kettle-cooking method creates bagels with a texture and flavor that mass-produced alternatives can’t match. This attention to preparation quality extends throughout our entire catering menu.
We provide genuinely full-service catering—not just food delivery. Setup, professional staffing, equipment, and complete cleanup are included. For premium BBQ catering, we bring grills and manage the entire cooking process on-site.
Multiple Long Island locations mean we understand Pine Aire events and local preferences. We’re not an outside company learning your area; we’re part of the community with a reputation built on consistently delivering what Long Island events need.
