Hear from Our Customers
You’re not standing behind a grill missing your own party. You’re not worrying about whether the food will be ready on time or if your guests will actually enjoy it.
When you choose catering that’s made-to-order instead of reheated, your guests notice. When the caterer brings their own equipment, sets everything up, and handles cleanup, you get to be present for what matters. When the service includes everything from tables to wait staff, you’re not juggling multiple vendors or scrambling to fill gaps.
That’s what happens when you work with a catering company that understands the difference between feeding people and creating an experience worth remembering.
Brendel’s Bagels has been serving fresh, kettle-cooked bagels and comprehensive catering services across Long Island for years. We’re not just another catering company – we’re the team that Roslyn business owners call when their reputation is on the line.
Our four Long Island locations give us the capacity to handle everything from intimate corporate meetings to large celebrations. We’ve built our reputation on doing things the right way: fresh ingredients, many locally sourced, prepared by experienced chefs who understand that shortcuts show up on the plate.
Local businesses trust us because we deliver consistently. Families choose us because we take care of the details that make events memorable, not stressful.
First, we talk about your event. Not just headcount and date, but what you’re trying to accomplish and what success looks like. We create a custom menu that fits your needs, your budget, and your guests’ tastes.
We don’t start prepping your food days in advance. Everything is made-to-order, either right before your event or prepared fresh on-site. If you’re doing BBQ catering, we bring the grills, gas, utensils, and staff directly to your location.
Setup, service, and cleanup are handled by our team. You need tables, chairs, or tents? We’ve got those covered too. Need wait staff? That’s included. You focus on your guests while we handle everything else.

Our catering services cover breakfast meetings, lunch events, Italian dinners, BBQ parties, and dessert spreads. Each menu is built around fresh, quality ingredients – many sourced locally here on Long Island.
For Roslyn’s business community, we provide corporate catering that makes meetings more productive and events more memorable. Our Italian catering features traditional dishes like stuffed shells, chicken marsala, and fresh heroes made with Boar’s Head cold cuts. BBQ catering means we bring everything to your location and grill fresh while your guests enjoy the experience.
Whether you’re hosting at your office, your home, or a venue anywhere in the Roslyn area, we adapt our service to your space and your needs. The goal is always the same: exceptional food, professional service, and an event that runs exactly as planned.
For most events, booking 1-2 weeks ahead gives you the best menu options and ensures availability. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on the size and type of event.
Corporate lunch meetings and smaller gatherings (under 25 people) can sometimes be arranged with just a few days’ notice. Larger events, weekend parties, or specialty services like our BBQ catering where we bring grills and staff typically need more lead time.
The earlier you book, the more flexibility we have to customize your menu and coordinate any additional services like tables, chairs, or wait staff.
We prepare everything made-to-order instead of reheating pre-made food. That means we wait to start prepping your menu until right before your event, or we prepare it fresh on-site at your location.
Most catering companies deliver food that’s been sitting. We bring the cooking process to you when possible. For BBQ events, we bring our grills, staff, and everything needed to cook fresh while your guests watch.
We also handle the complete event setup – not just food delivery. Need tables, chairs, tents, or wait staff? That’s all included in our service. You’re working with one company that handles everything instead of coordinating multiple vendors.
Yes, we bring everything needed for outdoor events. Tables, chairs, tents, serving equipment, and utensils are all part of our comprehensive catering service.
For BBQ catering, we bring our own grills, gas, cooking utensils, and experienced grill masters who handle all the cooking on-site. You don’t need to provide anything except the space and the guest list.
Setup and cleanup are included in our service. Our team arrives early to get everything ready and stays afterward to handle all cleanup, so you can focus entirely on enjoying your event with your guests.
Absolutely. We create custom menus for every event based on your specific needs, preferences, and any dietary restrictions your guests may have.
Our extensive menu includes options for different dietary needs, and our experienced chefs can modify dishes or create special items when needed. Whether you need vegetarian options, gluten-conscious choices, or specific cuisine styles, we work with you to design a menu that works for everyone.
Since everything is made-to-order, we have the flexibility to adjust ingredients, preparation methods, and presentation to match exactly what you’re looking for.
We provide catering services throughout Nassau County and the greater Long Island area, including all of Roslyn, Roslyn Heights, Roslyn Estates, and surrounding communities.
Our four Long Island locations give us the capacity to serve a wide geographic area while maintaining the quality and freshness our customers expect. Whether your event is at a corporate office, private residence, or venue anywhere in the region, we bring the same level of service.
Distance isn’t typically an issue for our catering services. We plan our logistics to ensure food arrives fresh and our setup team has everything ready exactly when you need it.
Everything we serve is made-to-order using the highest quality, freshest ingredients. We don’t prepare your food days in advance and reheat it – we wait to start preparation until right before your event.
Many of our ingredients are sourced locally here on Long Island, which means shorter time from source to plate and better flavor. Our experienced chefs prepare each dish using traditional methods, like our signature kettle-cooked bagels that are crispy outside and fluffy inside.
For events where we cook on-site, like our BBQ catering, food goes directly from grill to plate. This approach takes more coordination on our part, but it’s what ensures your guests get restaurant-quality food at your event location.
