Catering Company Wading River NY
Brendels Bagels brings culinary craftsmanship and traditional flavor to every event, with celebrated kettle-cooked bagels that are crispy on the outside yet warm and fluffy inside, making us a favorite across Long Island.
Suffolk County is famous for its bagels, and we’re famous for offering some of the best in the area. But we’ve expanded far beyond bagels. We offer Italian catering, BBQ catering, breakfast catering, and premium dessert options.
We use only the freshest ingredients in everything we prepare, combining traditional tastes with refreshing creativity. That’s how we’ve built our reputation throughout Wading River and the surrounding Suffolk County communities.

Our breakfast, lunch, and dinner catering packages guarantee a smooth experience that matches your event’s unique taste and style, with every detail curated to ensure your occasion is memorable.
We use fresh ingredients, many locally sourced, and all menu items are prepared with the highest quality ingredients using hand-crafted recipes for outstanding flavor. You can choose from our freshly prepared bagels, bialys, and flagels arranged in beautiful displays, accompanied by homemade cream cheeses.
For Long Island events, we understand the local preferences. Our BBQ catering is especially popular – we bring all equipment and cook food to order on-site, then handle breakdown and cleanup. Whether you want casual fare or formal passed hors d’oeuvres, we offer a vast array of gourmet dishes so you can relax and enjoy your guests.
How far in advance should I book catering for my Wading River event?
For most events, booking 1-2 weeks in advance gives us enough time to plan your menu and coordinate logistics properly. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice for smaller gatherings or standard menu items.
Larger events (50+ people) or specialty services like our on-site BBQ catering work best with 2-3 weeks notice. This ensures we can secure the right equipment and staff for your specific date. Holiday periods and wedding season (May through October) book up faster, so earlier booking helps guarantee your preferred date.
Do you provide serving staff and equipment for catering events?
Yes, full-service catering includes professional staff and all necessary equipment. For BBQ events, we bring grills, gas, utensils, and everything needed, with our grillmasters setting up and manning the equipment so you don’t have to stand behind a hot barbecue.
Our team includes culinary experts, wait staff, and delivery personnel who are committed to delivering outstanding results. We handle setup before your event starts and complete cleanup afterward. The level of service depends on your event size and needs – we’ll discuss what’s included when we plan your menu.
What's included in your breakfast catering packages for business meetings?
Our breakfast options range from lighter continental packages with freshly baked danishes, croissants, muffins, and yogurt parfaits, served with freshly brewed coffee and orange juice. We also offer bagel displays with your choice of flavors, arranged beautifully and accompanied by homemade cream cheeses and butter.
A la carte options include bakery baskets, yogurt and granola parfaits, fresh fruits and berries, and Belgian chocolate-covered fruit. Beverage packages include coffee and tea service, chilled juices, bottled water, and sodas. We can customize packages based on your meeting size and timing.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests for catering?
Absolutely. Whether you’re ordering from our standard menu or want to customize your own unique menu, we work with you to create a spread that impresses your guests. We regularly accommodate vegetarian, gluten-sensitive, and other dietary needs.
We use fresh ingredients and prepare everything to order, which gives us flexibility to modify recipes. Let us know about any restrictions when you’re planning your menu. Our chefs can suggest alternatives or modifications that maintain the quality and flavor you expect. We’d rather adjust the menu upfront than have guests who can’t enjoy the food.

How does your BBQ catering work for outdoor events?
Our BBQ catering is truly full-service – we bring grills, gas, utensils, sauces, and all the food directly to your location, whether it’s your backyard, a beach, or any venue, with our grillmasters setting up your private BBQ.
We grill traditional BBQ favorites using the highest quality, freshest ingredients with hand-crafted recipes for outstanding flavor. You won’t miss your own event because we handle all setup, cooking, and cleanup – that level of service makes us different from typical caterers.
