Why Choose Summer Menu Catering in NYC?
Summer menus work best when they’re light, flavorful, and built for the heat. They’re ideal for warm-weather events where guests are looking for something fresh, easy to enjoy, and visually appealing. That’s why we emphasize chilled items, clean flavors, and color-rich ingredients—all designed to keep your event cool and inviting.
Planning a late summer client gathering or school event? This is the time to lean into a seasonal menu that aligns with the setting and weather.
Perfect for Office Lunches, Outdoor Events, and Seasonal Pop-Ups
Summer catering is flexible by design. Whether you need a weekday lunch for 30, a cocktail-hour spread for 75, or full delivery for a company BBQ, Susan’s Kitchen adapts to your space, style, and service preferences.
We offer summer menu packages that scale across:
- Rooftop happy hours
- Corporate training days
- Gallery or brand activations
- Employee appreciation events
When your events stretch into autumn, we help you transition gracefully with flavor-forward options like those on our fall menu.
Adapting Summer Catering for Indoor and Outdoor Venues
In New York City, your event space may shift from an air-conditioned boardroom to a sunny courtyard—and our catering adapts with it. Our team designs menus that are heat-tolerant, mobile, and visually striking, whether you’re serving indoors or out.
We offer labeled packaging, chilled presentation trays, and compostable serviceware upon request. This flexibility ensures your summer event runs smoothly regardless of weather or venue layout.
If you’re interested in blending themes across the seasons, our spring catering menu offers great crossover dishes that bridge May into early June beautifully.
When Summer Menus Meet BBQ and Celebration Season
Looking for something more festive? Our summer offerings can be seamlessly paired with grilling menus and outdoor service setups. Explore our summer BBQ menu for curated outdoor packages that include everything from staffing to grill-side action stations.
This pairing is especially popular for company-wide events, family days, and casual Friday celebrations during the summer season.
Full-Season Support for Multi-Event Clients
Many of our clients book multiple events throughout the year—and summer is just the start. If you're planning ahead, we can help you map out a seasonal catering strategy that transitions smoothly into fall and winter.
Explore our winter theme catering menu for December gatherings or preview our Thanksgiving catering services to see how we help clients stay ahead of holiday planning.
Our goal is to make each season—and every menu—fit your calendar, your team, and your style of hospitality.
