Hear from Our Customers
Your guests will remember the food. You’ll remember enjoying yourself instead of stressing over logistics.
We bring everything – the grills, the staff, the setup, and the cleanup. You get fresh, kettle-cooked bagels that actually taste different from the grocery store kind. Premium BBQ grilled on-site, not reheated from some kitchen across town. Italian dishes that remind people why they love comfort food.
The difference isn’t just in what we serve. It’s in how we serve it – professionally, completely, so you can focus on what matters most about your event.
Brendels Bagels isn’t new to Suffolk County. We’ve been the go-to spot for fresh bagels and quality catering across Long Island, with deep roots in communities like Westhampton.
Our traditional kettle-cooking method creates bagels with that signature chewy interior and crispy exterior – something you can actually taste. We source fresh, often local ingredients because quality shows up on the plate.
What started as exceptional bagels grew into full-service catering because our customers kept asking us to handle their events. Now we’re known for bringing that same commitment to freshness and quality to everything from corporate breakfast meetings to backyard BBQ celebrations.
First, we talk through your event – guest count, location, food preferences, and any special requirements. No generic packages here; we design menus that fit what you actually need.
For BBQ events, we arrive with grills, gas, utensils, and professional staff. We set up, cook everything fresh on-site, and handle service. You don’t stand behind a hot grill missing your own party.
For breakfast and lunch catering, we prepare everything fresh and deliver with proper setup. Corporate events get the same attention as weddings – professional presentation, reliable timing, complete service.
After your event, we clean up and pack out everything we brought in. You’re left with satisfied guests and no cleanup headaches.

Beyond our signature kettle-cooked bagels, we offer comprehensive catering that covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between. Italian catering featuring traditional dishes, premium BBQ with on-site grilling, and dessert options that complete any meal.
Westhampton’s location in Suffolk County gives us access to excellent local suppliers, which means fresher ingredients and better-tasting food. We understand the local event scene – from corporate meetings at business centers to outdoor celebrations taking advantage of Long Island’s beautiful settings.
Our beverage packages include coffee service, specialty drinks, and full bar options when needed. Staff service ranges from simple delivery to complete event management with professional waitstaff. Equipment rental, setup, and cleanup are handled by our trained team, not left to chance.
For most events, two weeks notice gives us plenty of time to plan your menu and coordinate logistics. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice, especially for smaller gatherings or standard menu items.
Peak seasons like summer wedding months and holiday corporate events book up faster. If you’re planning something during these busy times, a month ahead is smart. For large events over 100 people or custom menu requests, earlier booking helps ensure everything goes perfectly.
We’d rather have the conversation early and know we can deliver exactly what you want than rush and compromise on quality.
Absolutely. We bring everything needed for outdoor BBQ catering – grills, gas, utensils, serving equipment, and professional staff to run the whole operation.
Our team sets up in your backyard, at the beach, or wherever your event is happening. We grill everything fresh on-site, not pre-cooked and reheated. This includes traditional BBQ favorites like ribs, chicken, burgers, and hot dogs, plus fresh homemade salads and all the fixings.
The best part is you don’t miss your own party standing behind a grill. Our staff handles cooking, serving, and cleanup so you can actually enjoy time with your guests. We’ve done everything from small family gatherings to large corporate picnics across Suffolk County.
Our most popular corporate breakfast options include fresh bagel platters with our homemade cream cheeses, continental breakfast spreads with pastries and coffee service, and hot breakfast items when you need something more substantial.
For morning meetings, we recommend our Rise and Shine Continental Breakfast or custom bagel selections. Everything arrives ready to serve with proper setup and coffee service. We understand corporate timing – your 8 AM meeting starts at 8 AM, not when the food finally shows up.
We can accommodate dietary restrictions, provide serving utensils and plates, and handle cleanup afterward. Many of our corporate clients book weekly or monthly breakfast service because consistent quality and reliable timing matter for business meetings.
Yes, Italian catering is one of our specialties beyond our famous bagels. We prepare traditional Italian dishes using authentic recipes and fresh ingredients.
Our Italian menu includes classic pasta dishes, chicken and veal preparations, fresh salads, and traditional sides. Everything is prepared fresh, not frozen and reheated like some catering operations. We can design Italian-themed menus for dinner events, corporate functions, or family celebrations.
The combination of our Italian catering with our signature bagels gives you flexibility for multi-course events or mixed menus that satisfy different tastes. We’ve catered Italian dinners for everything from wedding receptions to corporate holiday parties across Long Island.
Food safety and freshness are non-negotiable, especially for outdoor events. We use professional-grade warming equipment, proper refrigeration, and temperature monitoring throughout your event.
For BBQ catering, we cook everything fresh on-site, so there’s no issue with reheating or food sitting around. Hot foods stay hot, cold foods stay properly chilled, and we monitor everything continuously. Our staff is trained in food safety protocols and proper handling procedures.
We also plan serving timing to ensure food moves efficiently and doesn’t sit out longer than safe. For large events, we often set up multiple serving stations to keep lines moving and food turning over quickly. Years of catering experience have taught us how to maintain quality and safety regardless of weather or event size.
Full-service catering means we handle everything from planning to cleanup. This includes menu consultation, food preparation, delivery and setup, serving equipment, professional staff, and complete cleanup afterward.
For BBQ events, we bring grills, gas, utensils, serving platters, and staff to cook and serve everything fresh. For other catering, we provide warming equipment, serving utensils, plates if needed, and professional presentation. Beverage service includes coffee setup, drink dispensers, and bar service when requested.
Our staff manages the entire food service operation during your event, monitors supplies, and ensures everything runs smoothly. After your event, we pack up all our equipment and clean the serving area. You’re left with satisfied guests and no catering-related cleanup tasks.
