Catering Company South Farmingdale NY
We’ve been serving Long Island communities with the same commitment to quality that built our reputation. Multiple locations across the area, but every bagel still gets the traditional kettle-cooking treatment.
Our catering goes way beyond breakfast. Italian catering, dessert trays, premium BBQ where we bring the grill and handle everything from setup to cleanup. South Farmingdale businesses and families count on us because we show up prepared and deliver what we promise.
The ingredients matter. Fresh, often locally sourced, and prepared by staff who know what they’re doing. That’s why people come back.

Catering Menu Options South Farmingdale
Your catering options include our signature bagels and spreads, but that’s just the starting point. Italian catering features fresh pasta dishes, sandwiches, and salads that work for lunch meetings or dinner events.
Premium BBQ catering means we bring the grill, all utensils, and experienced staff to your location. Perfect for outdoor events, company picnics, or family gatherings where you want that fresh-grilled taste without the hassle.
South Farmingdale events have unique needs depending on the venue and crowd size. Corporate breakfast meetings need efficient service and minimal cleanup. Family celebrations want variety that satisfies different ages and tastes. We adjust our service style and menu recommendations based on what actually works for your specific situation.
How far in advance should I book catering services?
For most events, two weeks notice gives us enough time to plan properly and ensure we have all ingredients fresh and ready. Larger events with 50+ people or specialty requests like our premium BBQ catering work better with three to four weeks advance notice.
Last-minute requests aren’t impossible, but your menu options might be more limited. We keep certain items ready for quick turnaround, especially our bagel platters and basic sandwich packages. Call us even if your event is just a few days away – we’ll tell you honestly what we can accommodate.
Holiday periods and popular event seasons book up faster. Memorial Day weekend, graduation season, and December company parties fill our calendar quickly. The earlier you book during these times, the more flexibility you’ll have with menu choices and timing.
Do you provide setup and cleanup for catering events?
Yes, full setup and cleanup comes standard with our catering services. Our team arrives with serving platters, utensils, napkins, and everything needed to present your food properly. We arrange everything so it looks professional and flows well for your guests.
During your event, we can provide staff to keep food stocked, answer questions about ingredients, and maintain the serving area. This works especially well for longer events or when you want to focus completely on hosting rather than food management.
Cleanup includes removing all serving equipment, disposing of food waste properly, and leaving your space clean. For our premium BBQ catering, this extends to cleaning the grill area and removing all cooking equipment. You shouldn’t have to deal with any food service mess after your event ends.
What's included in your Italian catering options?
Our Italian catering features fresh pasta dishes, antipasto platters, and specialty sandwiches made with quality ingredients. Popular choices include penne with marinara or alfredo, chicken parmigiana, and Italian cold cut platters with fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers.
Portion sizes are generous because nobody wants to run out of food at their event. We include bread, salad options, and appropriate sides based on your menu selections. Vegetarian and dietary restriction accommodations are built into most Italian menu packages.
The ingredients make a difference you can taste. We source fresh basil, quality olive oil, and authentic Italian meats and cheeses. This isn’t cafeteria-style Italian food – it’s the kind of meal that gets people asking where you ordered from. Pricing includes all serving equipment and professional presentation.
How does your premium BBQ catering work?
We bring everything to your location: professional-grade grills, all cooking equipment, experienced grill staff, and premium meats. You don’t need to provide anything except the space and access to electricity if needed.
Our team handles all the grilling on-site, so your guests get that fresh-cooked taste and aroma. Menu options include burgers, hot dogs, chicken, ribs, and various sides. We can accommodate different cooking preferences and dietary needs, including vegetarian grill options.
This service works best for outdoor events with adequate space for safe grilling operations. We arrive early to set up and start cooking so food is ready when your guests arrive. After the event, we clean the grill area completely and remove all equipment. It’s like having a professional BBQ chef without any of the equipment investment or cleanup hassle.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?
Yes, we handle common dietary restrictions including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. When you place your order, let us know about any specific needs and we’ll recommend menu items that work safely for those guests.
Our bagels contain gluten, but we offer gluten-free bread options for sandwiches and can prepare salads and other items without cross-contamination. For severe allergies, we discuss preparation methods to ensure safety – sometimes this means preparing certain items separately or using dedicated equipment.
Clear communication upfront prevents problems during your event. We’d rather adjust your menu during planning than have guests who can’t eat safely. Most dietary accommodations don’t significantly impact pricing, especially when we know about them in advance and can plan accordingly.
What's your minimum order size for catering delivery?
Our minimum catering order is typically 10 people, but this varies based on the specific menu items and delivery location within South Farmingdale and surrounding areas. Bagel platters and sandwich packages have lower minimums than full Italian dinners or BBQ catering.
Delivery fees depend on distance and order size. Larger orders or closer locations often qualify for free delivery. We’ll give you the exact delivery cost when you place your order, so there are no surprises.
For very small groups under 10 people, consider picking up from one of our locations instead. You’ll save on delivery fees and can still get the same quality food. We’ll have everything packaged and ready for easy transport to your event location.
