Our Italian catering features authentic recipes prepared fresh for your event. Breakfast catering includes our famous kettle-cooked bagels alongside hot dishes that fuel morning meetings and celebrations.
South Floral Park’s location makes it perfect for both intimate neighborhood gatherings and larger events that draw guests from across Nassau County. We understand the local preferences—the appreciation for authentic flavors, the expectation of professional service, and the need for reliable execution.
Whether you need tables, chairs, linens, or serving staff, we coordinate everything. One call handles your entire catering needs, eliminating the stress of managing multiple vendors and ensuring seamless service.
How far in advance should I book catering for my South Floral Park event?
For most events, booking 1-2 weeks in advance gives us enough time to properly plan and prepare your custom menu. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller gatherings, especially weekday events.
Larger events like weddings, major corporate functions, or holiday parties should be booked 3-4 weeks ahead when possible. This ensures we can secure the specific menu items you want and coordinate any additional services like equipment rental or extra staff.
Peak seasons like graduation time, holidays, and summer wedding season fill up faster, so earlier booking helps guarantee your preferred date and menu options.
Do you provide serving staff and equipment for catered events?
Yes, we provide complete event support including professional serving staff, tables, chairs, linens, serving equipment, and anything else needed for your event. This is especially valuable for our BBQ catering, where our grillmasters handle all the cooking and serving on-site.
Our staff arrives early to set up everything properly and stays throughout your event to manage service, keep food fresh and properly stocked, and handle any needs that arise. After your event, they take care of complete cleanup and breakdown.
This full-service approach means you deal with one vendor instead of coordinating multiple companies, and you can actually enjoy your own event instead of worrying about logistics.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special menu requests?
Absolutely. We regularly customize menus for dietary restrictions, cultural preferences, and specific event themes. Our chefs can prepare gluten-free options, vegetarian and vegan dishes, kosher-style selections, and accommodate most food allergies.
For South Floral Park’s diverse community, we often create menus that blend different cultural influences or provide multiple cuisine options at the same event. Our Italian catering can be combined with traditional American fare, or we can create fusion menus that reflect your specific heritage or preferences.
We discuss all dietary needs during your initial consultation and provide detailed ingredient information for guests with serious allergies or restrictions. Custom menu creation is one of our strengths—not an inconvenience.
What's included in your BBQ catering service?
Our BBQ catering is truly full-service. We bring our own grills, gas, all cooking utensils, serving equipment, and sauces directly to your location. Our experienced grillmasters handle all the cooking fresh on-site, so you get that authentic BBQ experience without any of the work.
The menu includes fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy grilled chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and traditional BBQ sides prepared with the same fresh, locally sourced ingredients we use for everything else. We can customize the menu based on your preferences and guest count.
Setup, cooking, service, and complete cleanup are all included. Your backyard, park, or venue is left exactly as we found it. You get to be a guest at your own BBQ instead of standing over a hot grill all day.
How do you ensure food quality and freshness for catered events?
Food quality starts with our sourcing—we use fresh, often locally sourced ingredients and prepare everything to order rather than relying on pre-made items sitting in warming trays. Our signature bagels still go through the same traditional kettle-cooking process that made us famous.
For hot foods, we use professional warming equipment that maintains proper temperatures without compromising taste or texture. Cold items are kept properly chilled until service. Our timing is coordinated so food is prepared as close to service time as possible.
Our professional staff monitors food quality throughout your event, refreshing items as needed and ensuring everything meets our standards from first guest to last. We’ve been doing this for years across Long Island, so we know how to maintain quality regardless of event size or duration.
What areas do you serve for catering besides South Floral Park?
We provide catering services throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties from our three Long Island locations. This includes neighboring communities like Floral Park, New Hyde Park, Elmont, Bellerose, and extending throughout the greater Long Island area.
Our multiple locations allow us to efficiently serve a wide geographic area while maintaining the same quality and service standards everywhere. We’re familiar with venues throughout the region and understand local preferences and logistics.
Distance isn’t usually a limiting factor for our catering services. We factor travel time and logistics into our planning to ensure your food arrives fresh and on schedule, regardless of your location within our service area.
