What kind of catering do you do?
Brother Jimmy’s Catering will cater all types of events. From drop off lunches, dinners and snacks, to full service parties with wait staff, equipment rentals (including frozen margarita machines), bartenders, and even music. We can create a full scale southern BBQ, New Orleans' Style Crawfish Boil, or an actual pig pick. We cater for both corporate and private clients.
Where can these parties take place?
Parties may be held at your office or home, on a roof top or back yard. For large parties there are party spaces to rent all around the tri-state area. We will help guide you to the perfect spot. There are virtually no limits to the potential
What is included in the packages and can we make substitutions?
Plastic utensils, plates and napkins are included with all packages. Additional items such as chafing sets or china would be billed at an additional charge. Substitutions are always allowed but they might affect the price of the package.
Can you grill on site?
Yes, as long as the use of grills is legal at the location.
What additional charges can we expect?
There can be additional charges for setting up and cleaning up. Depending how far away the event is there will be a charge for transportation.
How much food do you bring?
We bring enough food to last about 2 hour. If you are looking for a much longer party we will have to adjust the quantities as well as the price.
Do you have vegetarian items?
Yes we do have a selection of vegetarian items and are always willing to work with our customers to create a menu suited to your particular dietary needs.
Can you provide alcohol?
Yes we can provide a full service bar including our specialty drinks draft and bottled beer or even frozen margaritas.
Who will run the event?
Every major event will be arranged and hosted by an event coordinator. Generally it will be the same person who you have been working with throughout the process. If your event requires additional management the will be an Event Manager at the location for the duration of the event.
What if I don't see the exact items on you menus that I was thinking of?
At Brother Jimmy’s Catering we are committed to creating the perfect menu for our clients. If you don't see it our chef will work with you to create it. We will even create a sample for you to taste.
What about the price?
There is really no simple answer to this question. The package prices are accurate but do not include all other aspects of the event. There are simply too many variables, such as location, menu, length of event, type of service, to create a standard pricing structure. Instead we will try to work to tailor the event to meet you budgetary guidelines.
How quickly can I get a quote?
Generally we have a 24 hour turn around time. But in a pinch we’ll make it happen quicker.
Do you have any beef ribs?
Nope, just pork.
When do I need to notify you of our final numbers?
At least 3 business days prior to the event. Unfortunately we will need to charge you for the full amount if the numbers change closer to the event.
How do begin the process?
Call us at 212-244-3503 or email us. We will ask you a series of questions that will help guide you in your decision. We will help you determine factors such as what type of food service best suits your event. We will ask you about the budget you are hoping to work with and we will suggest options that will service all your needs. Our discussion will assist you in putting your party priorities in order.
