Professional Catering Services Wheatley Heights
You’re not getting food dropped off in aluminum trays with a “good luck” wave. You’re getting a catering company that arrives early, sets everything up properly, and handles every detail so you can focus on your guests instead of logistics.
Your guests notice the difference immediately. Our kettle-cooked bagels have that perfect chewy interior and crispy exterior that mass-produced bagels can’t match. Our fresh, locally-sourced ingredients taste like actual food, not cafeteria fillers.
When your event wraps up, we pack everything out and clean up completely. You get to enjoy the compliments from your guests instead of scrubbing serving dishes at midnight. That’s what full-service catering actually means.
Established Long Island Catering Company
We’ve served Long Island communities like Wheatley Heights for years, building our reputation one event at a time. We’re not the new catering company trying to prove ourselves – we’re the established choice that your neighbors already trust for their important events.
Our traditional kettle-cooking method isn’t just marketing speak. It’s the time-tested process that creates bagels with the texture and flavor Long Island expects. We source fresh, local ingredients because shortcuts show up on the plate, and your guests deserve better.
The community recognition we’ve earned comes from consistently delivering what we promise. Professional service, quality food, and treating every event like it matters – because when you’re hosting family, colleagues, or clients, it absolutely does matter.
Full Service Catering Process
We start with a real conversation about your event. Guest count, timing, dietary needs, budget parameters, and what kind of impression you want to make. No pushy sales tactics or cookie-cutter packages that don’t fit your actual situation.
Menu planning happens based on your specific requirements. Morning corporate meetings get our breakfast bagel spreads. Family celebrations might call for Italian catering with fresh salads and dessert trays. Outdoor events often work perfectly with our premium BBQ service where we bring professional grilling equipment and handle everything on-site.
Event day execution is where experience shows. Our team arrives with enough time to set up properly, manages food service throughout your event, and keeps everything fresh and well-stocked. When it’s over, we handle complete cleanup and pack out all equipment, leaving you with just the positive memories.

Complete Catering Menu Options
While our signature kettle-cooked bagels remain the foundation of breakfast catering throughout Wheatley Heights and Long Island, our full menu covers whatever your event demands. Italian catering brings authentic flavors with fresh preparations. Dessert trays add the perfect finishing touch. Our salad options use crisp, fresh ingredients that actually taste like vegetables should.
Corporate clients in the area rely on our breakfast and lunch packages for everything from early morning board meetings to afternoon training sessions. We understand Long Island’s business pace and deliver food that keeps energy levels up without the post-lunch crash.
Our premium BBQ catering service sets us apart from typical catering companies. We don’t just deliver pre-cooked meat and call it BBQ. We bring professional grilling equipment, experienced staff, and handle all cooking on-site. Your guests get restaurant-quality grilled food, fresh off our equipment, with all the smoky flavors and perfect temperatures that make BBQ memorable. From setup to final cleanup, we manage every aspect of the grilling experience.
How far in advance should I book catering services?
Two weeks notice works well for most events in Wheatley Heights and surrounding Long Island areas. This gives us time to plan your menu properly, coordinate our schedule, and ensure we have all ingredients and equipment ready for your specific event.
Peak seasons fill up faster. Graduation parties, holiday celebrations, and wedding season require 3-4 weeks advance booking to guarantee your preferred date and timing. Large corporate events or complex menu requests benefit from even more planning time.
Last-minute requests aren’t automatically impossible. If our schedule allows and your menu requirements fit our capabilities, we’ve pulled together quality catering on shorter notice. It’s worth calling even if your timeline feels tight – we’d rather find a solution than leave you scrambling for alternatives.
Do you provide all serving equipment and setup materials?
All serving equipment, chafing dishes, utensils, and presentation materials come with our catering services. We bring everything needed to serve your food at proper temperatures and make the dining experience smooth for your guests.
Our premium BBQ catering includes professional grilling equipment, serving stations, plates, napkins, and all cooking utensils. We arrive with complete setups that let us cook and serve restaurant-quality food directly at your location.
Tables and chairs aren’t part of standard catering packages, but we work with reliable rental companies throughout Long Island. We can coordinate those arrangements as part of your event planning and connect you with vendors we trust for quality equipment and timely delivery.
Can you handle dietary restrictions and food allergies safely?
Dietary restrictions and food allergies are routine considerations for our catering services across Long Island. During menu planning, we discuss any specific requirements your guests have and modify our preparations accordingly.
Vegetarian options, gluten-sensitive alternatives, and accommodations for common food allergies are all manageable with our fresh preparation methods. Our quality ingredients and flexible cooking processes give us options to create alternatives that don’t sacrifice flavor or presentation.
Severe allergies require extra precautions during both preparation and service. We’ll walk through specific requirements with you during planning and ensure our serving staff understands proper handling procedures. Cross-contamination prevention becomes part of our setup and service protocols for your event.
What exactly is included with premium BBQ catering?
Premium BBQ catering brings the complete grilling experience directly to your Wheatley Heights location. We arrive with professional-grade equipment, fresh meats, sides, and experienced staff who handle all cooking on-site throughout your event.
Service includes complete setup of grilling stations, preparation and cooking of your selected meats to proper temperatures, serving hot food directly from our equipment, and thorough cleanup afterward. All serving materials, plates, and napkins are provided for your guests.
Our staff manages the entire cooking process from fire management to final plating. You get restaurant-quality BBQ without any of the work, coordination, or cleanup. We time everything to match your event schedule, ensuring food comes off the grill at exactly the right moments for optimal flavor and temperature.
How do you maintain food quality during longer events?
Professional-grade warming equipment and proper food handling protocols keep everything at safe temperatures and peak quality throughout your event. Hot foods stay properly heated while cold items remain chilled using commercial-quality equipment designed for extended service periods.
Our staff monitors food temperatures and presentation continuously during longer events. We refresh items as needed, rotate stock to maintain freshness, and adjust portions to ensure your guests always have access to food that looks and tastes as good as when we first set it up.
Food staging is planned around your event timeline rather than putting everything out at once. This approach ensures guests have fresh options whether they eat early or later in your event, and it maintains proper food safety standards throughout extended service periods.
What areas do you cover for catering delivery and service?
Our catering services cover all of Long Island, with Wheatley Heights well within our regular delivery and service area. Multiple locations allow us to coordinate efficient service throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties for events of various sizes.
Delivery timing and setup schedules are planned around your location and event requirements. Morning breakfast setups, afternoon lunch preparations, and evening dinner service are all manageable within our standard service areas including Wheatley Heights and surrounding communities.
Events outside our typical service range aren’t automatically ruled out. For larger events or special occasions, we’ve extended our service area when logistics allow. Contact us to discuss your specific location and event requirements – we’re often able to find solutions that work within our operational capabilities.
