Shinnecock Hills Catering Services
You’re not standing behind a grill missing your own party. You’re not scrambling to keep food warm or worrying if there’s enough. You’re actually present at your event, talking to guests, enjoying the moment.
That’s what happens when you work with a catering company that brings everything—grills, utensils, professional staff—and handles setup through cleanup. Your guests eat food that’s made-to-order fresh, not reheated from hours ago.
The difference shows. In the taste, in the presentation, in how smoothly everything flows. You look like the thoughtful host who planned every detail, because you did—you just had the right team execute it.

First, we talk about your event. Guest count, style you’re going for, any dietary needs. We’ll discuss menu options that fit your vision and budget.

Shinnecock Hills Event Catering Options
Our catering menu covers breakfast meetings, lunch events, dinner parties, and everything in between. Traditional New York-style bagels with homemade cream cheeses for morning events. Italian specialties like pasta dishes, chicken marsala, and fresh hero sandwiches made with Boar’s Head cold cuts.
For outdoor events, our BBQ catering brings restaurant-quality grilling to your location. Fall-off-the-bone ribs, grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, plus fresh salads like potato, macaroni, and coleslaw.
In Shinnecock Hills, we see a lot of corporate events, family celebrations, and community gatherings. The Hamptons area has high expectations for food quality and service, which is why we focus on fresh ingredients, made-to-order preparation, and professional presentation. Whether you’re hosting 20 people or 200, we scale our service to match your event’s needs.
How far in advance should I book catering for my Shinnecock Hills event?
Book as early as possible, especially during busy seasons like summer in the Hamptons or corporate event seasons. We recommend at least 2-3 weeks for most events, but we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule.
Peak times fill up quickly because we limit the number of events we take on each day to ensure quality service. For large events or specific dates that are important to you, booking a month or more in advance gives you the best selection of menu options and guarantees our availability.
If you’re planning last-minute, still call us. We might have availability, and we’ll work with you to find solutions that fit your timeline and needs.
Do you provide tables, chairs, and other rental equipment for events?
We focus on food and food service, but we work with trusted rental companies throughout Long Island and can coordinate those arrangements for you. This includes tables, chairs, linens, tents, and other event essentials.
Our team knows which rental companies deliver to Shinnecock Hills and the surrounding areas, and we understand timing requirements to ensure everything arrives when needed. We can handle the coordination so you’re dealing with one point of contact instead of multiple vendors.
For BBQ events, we bring all food-related equipment—grills, serving tables, utensils, plates, napkins. For other catering styles, we’ll discuss what’s included and what additional items you might need based on your venue and event type.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special menu requests?
Yes, we regularly accommodate dietary restrictions including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and various food allergies. Since we prepare food made-to-order, we can modify dishes and create alternatives that work for your guests.
When you book with us, we’ll discuss any dietary needs during the planning process. This helps us prepare properly and ensure we have suitable options available. For complex restrictions or large numbers of special dietary needs, we might recommend specific menu items that work best.
We also create custom menu items when requested. If you have a specific dish in mind or want to incorporate family recipes or cultural preferences, we can often work those into your catering package. The key is discussing these needs early in the planning process.
What's included in your BBQ catering service in Shinnecock Hills?
Our BBQ catering is full-service. We bring grills, gas, all cooking equipment, serving tables, plates, utensils, napkins, and condiments. Our grill masters set up at your location, cook fresh throughout your event, and handle all the cleanup afterward.

How do you ensure food quality and freshness for catered events?
We prepare everything made-to-order, either right before delivery or on-site at your event location. Nothing sits around for hours getting cold or losing quality. Our bagels are kettle-cooked fresh, and we use high-quality ingredients, many sourced locally from Long Island farms and suppliers.
For BBQ events, we cook everything fresh on-site so guests get hot, perfectly prepared food. For other catering styles, we coordinate timing so food arrives at peak quality and is served at proper temperatures.
Our team has experience with food safety and proper handling procedures. We maintain appropriate temperatures during transport and service, and we follow all health department guidelines. Quality control is built into our process because our reputation depends on consistently delivering excellent food.
