1. Hot Chafing Trays Built to Stay Juicy on Your Buffet
Great event catering has to hold its texture and flavor across hours of family celebration. At Beata Deli in Valley Stream, we balance crispy favorites—golden breaded pork cutlets (schabowe), butter-filled Chicken Kiev (de volaille), and herb-roasted chicken—with slow-braised specialties like beef roulades (zrazy), pork tenderloin in wild mushroom cream sauce, gołąbki, and hunter’s bigos.
Every celebration table is anchored by trays of our signature hand-pinched pierogi topped with sweet caramelized onions and crispy bacon lardons.
2. Traditional Polish Cold Table: Smoked Platters, Herring & Salads
In Polish hospitality, the "cold table" (zimna płyta) remains out all evening for guests to graze on. We assemble generous platters of hardwood-smoked Polish hams, dry krakowska, farmhouse kielbasa, kabanosy, and imported cheeses.
Complement your platters with our scratch-made Polish vegetable salad (sałatka jarzynowa), Greek-style fish braised in sweet root vegetables (ryba po grecku), marinated herring, and savory chicken or pork aspics.
