Professional Catering Services Plandome Manor
You’re not just getting food delivered in containers. You’re getting fresh bagels made with our traditional kettle-cooking methods, premium Boar’s Head cold cuts prepared to order, and Italian dishes crafted by our experienced chefs who understand what quality means to Plandome Manor residents.
When we handle your catering, you can focus on your guests instead of worrying about whether the food will be fresh, if there’s enough for everyone, or if the presentation meets your standards. We bring everything—from tables and chairs to professional wait staff—and handle setup and cleanup so you can actually enjoy your own event.
Whether it’s a corporate meeting for your Manhasset Bay business, a family celebration, or a community gathering, you get the peace of mind that comes with working with caterers who’ve been serving Long Island’s discerning clients for years.
Established Long Island Catering Company
Brendel’s Bagels has built its reputation by understanding that Long Island communities like Plandome Manor have high standards—and we’ve been meeting them consistently across our four locations. We’re not just another catering company trying to serve everyone; we’re a local business that knows the difference between acceptable and exceptional.
Our traditional kettle-cooking methods produce bagels with that signature crispy exterior and fluffy interior that Long Island residents have come to expect. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible because we know you can taste the difference, and we’ve already proven ourselves by catering corporate events and celebrations for other Plandome Manor business owners and families.
When you’re 30 minutes from Manhattan but choose to live in a community of just 275 homes, you value quality, authenticity, and service that matches your lifestyle. That’s exactly what we deliver.
Full Service Catering Process
First, we discuss your event—the size, style, dietary needs, and any specific requests you have. Whether you want our signature bagel spreads, Italian catering, or our popular BBQ service where we bring the grill and cook everything fresh on-site, we create a customized menu that fits your vision and budget.
Next, we handle all the logistics. Need tables, chairs, or a tent for an outdoor event? We’ve got it covered. Want professional wait staff to ensure your guests are taken care of? We arrange that too. We coordinate everything so you’re not juggling multiple vendors or worrying about timing.
On event day, we arrive with everything needed, set up according to your specifications, and either prepare food on-site or deliver it at peak freshness. Our experienced team manages the service flow, keeps everything stocked, and handles all the cleanup afterward. You get to focus on what matters—spending time with your guests and enjoying the occasion you’ve planned.

Comprehensive Catering Menu Options
Our catering goes far beyond our famous kettle-cooked bagels. We offer complete breakfast packages with fresh-baked goods and premium coffee service, lunch spreads featuring custom sandwiches and wraps made with Boar’s Head Select meats, and dinner options including authentic Italian dishes and full BBQ service with all the traditional favorites.
For Plandome Manor’s corporate community, we provide professional lunch deliveries for business meetings, elegant spreads for client entertainment, and comprehensive catering for company events. Our Italian catering features traditional recipes alongside creative fusion options, while our BBQ service brings the complete experience—we transport the grill, cook everything fresh at your location, and include all sides, condiments, and serving equipment.
What sets us apart in Nassau County is our commitment to made-to-order freshness. Unlike other catering services that prepare food hours in advance, we wait until right before your event to start preparation, or we cook directly on-site. This means your guests get food at its peak quality, whether it’s a small family gathering or a large corporate event at your Manhasset Bay location.
How far in advance do I need to place my catering order?
We recommend placing orders at least 48-72 hours in advance for most events, though we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller gatherings. For large corporate events, holiday parties, or occasions requiring extensive setup like our BBQ service with equipment and staff, we prefer at least one week’s notice.
This timeline allows us to ensure we have all the fresh ingredients needed for your customized menu, coordinate any rental equipment like tables and chairs, and schedule our professional staff if you’re requesting wait service. During peak seasons—especially summer months when outdoor events are popular in the Plandome Manor area—booking earlier ensures your preferred date and time are available.
For last-minute needs, call us directly. We maintain flexibility in our kitchen operations and often can create fresh solutions even with shorter notice, particularly for our signature bagel spreads and sandwich platters.
Do you provide all the serving equipment and setup for events?
Yes, we provide comprehensive event support that goes well beyond just delivering food. Our full-service catering includes tables, chairs, linens, serving dishes, utensils, and even tents for outdoor events. We also offer professional wait staff who handle serving, restocking, and ensuring your guests’ needs are met throughout the event.
Our setup service means we arrive early to arrange everything according to your specifications, whether it’s an elegant corporate lunch in your Plandome Manor office or a backyard BBQ where we bring our grills and cook everything fresh on-site. We handle the logistics so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors or worry about timing.
After your event, our team manages all the cleanup, including removing rental equipment and leaving your space exactly as we found it. This comprehensive approach is especially valuable for busy professionals and families who want to enjoy their events without the stress of managing multiple moving parts.
What makes your BBQ catering different from other services?
Our BBQ catering is a complete on-site cooking experience, not just reheated food delivered in containers. We transport professional-grade grills directly to your location, whether it’s your backyard, office, or community event space, and cook everything fresh while your guests watch and smell the authentic barbecue preparation.
We handle all the traditional BBQ favorites—fall-off-the-bone ribs, grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and corn on the cob—along with freshly prepared homemade sides like potato salad, coleslaw, and macaroni salad. All condiments, buns, and fixings are included, plus we bring serving equipment and can provide professional staff to manage the grilling and serving.
What really sets us apart is the complete service: we arrive with everything needed, set up the entire BBQ station, cook throughout your event to ensure hot, fresh food, and handle all cleanup including removing our equipment afterward. It’s particularly popular for corporate events and family celebrations in the Plandome Manor area where people want that authentic BBQ experience without any of the work or cleanup.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special menu requests?
Absolutely. We specialize in creating customized menus that accommodate various dietary needs while maintaining the quality and taste your guests expect. Whether you need gluten-free options, vegetarian selections, or specific allergen considerations, our experienced chefs work with you to develop solutions that don’t compromise on flavor or presentation.
For corporate events, we often create mixed menus that satisfy different preferences—traditional deli spreads alongside plant-based options, or Italian dishes that include both meat and vegetarian selections. Our custom sandwich and wrap station can be adapted for virtually any dietary requirement using fresh ingredients and premium alternatives.
We also handle cultural and religious dietary needs, kosher requirements, and specific ingredient preferences. Since everything we serve is made-to-order rather than pre-prepared, we have the flexibility to adjust recipes, substitute ingredients, and create entirely custom dishes. During our planning consultation, we discuss all dietary considerations and preferences to ensure every guest at your Plandome Manor event has delicious options that meet their needs.
What areas do you serve for catering delivery and setup?
We provide full catering services throughout Nassau County, with Plandome Manor being well within our primary service area. Our four Long Island locations allow us to efficiently serve the entire North Shore, including Manhasset, Port Washington, Great Neck, and surrounding communities where many of our regular corporate and residential clients are located.
For events requiring our complete setup service—including tables, chairs, professional staff, or our on-site BBQ cooking—we focus on locations within a reasonable distance of our facilities to ensure everything arrives fresh and on schedule. Plandome Manor’s proximity to our established routes makes it an ideal location for our full-service offerings.
We also handle delivery-only orders for a broader area, though our specialty is the complete catering experience where we manage setup, service, and cleanup. During your consultation, we’ll confirm all logistics for your specific location and discuss any unique considerations for your venue, whether it’s a corporate office, private residence, or community space.
How do you ensure food stays fresh for events and what's your pricing structure?
Food freshness is our primary differentiator from other catering services. Unlike companies that prepare everything hours in advance, we use a made-to-order approach where we start food preparation right before your event or cook directly on-site at your location. Our traditional kettle-cooking methods for bagels and fresh preparation of all ingredients means your guests get food at peak quality and temperature.
For our BBQ service, everything is cooked fresh throughout your event. For other menu items, we use insulated transport systems and time our preparation so food arrives at optimal serving temperature. Our Italian dishes, sandwich platters, and breakfast spreads are all prepared using this fresh-focused approach that maintains both taste and presentation.
Regarding pricing, we create customized quotes based on your specific menu selections, guest count, service level, and any additional equipment or staffing needs. Our pricing reflects the premium ingredients we use—like Boar’s Head Select meats and locally sourced produce—plus the comprehensive service that includes setup, professional presentation, and cleanup. We work within various budget ranges and can suggest menu modifications to meet your financial requirements while maintaining the quality standards Plandome Manor clients expect.
