What's Actually Included in Your Catering

Our catering goes way beyond basic sandwich platters. You get breakfast options with fresh bagels made daily using our traditional kettle-cooking method. Italian catering with authentic dishes that actually taste like they came from someone’s kitchen, not a factory.

For Saddle Rock Estates outdoor events, our BBQ catering brings the whole experience—we arrive with grills, cook everything fresh on-site, and handle all the equipment. No rental fees, no coordination headaches.

Every catering order includes professional setup, serving utensils, plates if needed, and complete cleanup afterward. We also accommodate dietary restrictions and last-minute guest count changes because real life happens.

How far in advance do I need to book catering services?

We recommend booking at least one week in advance for most events, though we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and your event size. Larger events or those requiring special equipment like our BBQ service typically need two weeks notice.

For corporate meetings or smaller gatherings, we’ve handled same-day requests when possible. The key is calling us as soon as you know you need catering—we’ll work with your timeline and let you know exactly what’s feasible.

Holiday seasons and summer months book up faster, so if you’re planning something during peak times, earlier is definitely better.

We serve all of Nassau County, including Saddle Rock Estates and surrounding communities like Great Neck, Manhasset, Port Washington, and Roslyn. Our Long Island locations make it easy to deliver fresh food efficiently throughout the area.

Delivery fees depend on distance and event size, but most locations within our standard service area have minimal or no additional charges. We’ll give you exact delivery costs upfront when we discuss your event details.

For locations outside Nassau County, we can often still accommodate your event—just call us to discuss the specifics and any additional logistics involved.

Absolutely. We regularly accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. Our kitchen staff is experienced with food allergies and cross-contamination prevention, so we can safely serve guests with various restrictions.

For custom menu requests, we work with you to create options that fit your event and budget. Whether that’s adding specific Italian dishes to complement our standard offerings or creating breakfast platters with particular bagel varieties, we’re flexible.

The key is discussing these needs when you book, not the day of your event. This gives us time to source ingredients and prepare everything properly without rushing.

Our BBQ catering is completely turnkey—we bring professional grills, all cooking equipment, serving utensils, and cleanup supplies. Our staff arrives early to set up and starts cooking fresh food on-site so everything’s hot and ready when your guests are.

Menu options include traditional BBQ favorites like ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and all the classic sides. We handle the entire cooking process, so you don’t need to worry about timing or food safety—just enjoy the event.

After everyone’s eaten, we break down all equipment, clean the cooking area, and remove everything. You’re left with happy guests and zero mess to deal with.

We use professional food transport equipment to maintain proper temperatures during delivery, whether that’s keeping hot foods hot or cold items properly chilled. Our delivery timing is calculated based on your event start time and setup requirements.

For longer events, we bring equipment to keep food at safe serving temperatures throughout your gathering. Hot foods stay hot, cold salads and desserts stay properly chilled, and everything maintains its quality from first guest to last.

Our staff monitors food safety throughout the event, rotating platters as needed and ensuring everything meets health department standards. Years of catering experience means we know how to keep food both safe and delicious.

We understand that guest counts change—it’s part of event planning. For increases, we can usually accommodate up to 20% more guests with 24-48 hours notice, depending on the menu and our current schedule.

For decreases, we work with you on adjusting portions and pricing fairly. We’re not looking to charge you for food that won’t get eaten, but we do need reasonable notice to adjust our prep work and ordering.

The best approach is to give us your best estimate when booking, then call with updates as soon as you know them. We’ll work with you to make sure you have the right amount of food without unnecessary waste or shortage.
