Batavia is seventeen miles from our kitchen, across the Fox River from Geneva, home to Fermilab and a riverwalk lined with old windmills. We get there up Route 47 to I-88, then north on Kirk Road or Randall Road. Rehearsal dinners, showers and retirement parties in Batavia homes are the usual order, plus lunches for the business parks along Kirk Road and Fabyan Parkway. Delivery is $40.
Batavia is our last $40 town on the Fox River going north; Geneva, next door, is $45 because of the extra miles. Order trays and boxed lunches three days ahead, staffed events two weeks ahead, by calling (630) 553-9533.
A rehearsal dinner or an anniversary dinner at home in Batavia usually calls for Buffet Menu 2 or 3. Menu 2 is $19.99 per person with chicken piccata, chicken marsala, Yankee pot roast or our famous seasoned pork chops (see Buffet Menu 2). Menu 3 is $20.99 with chicken cordon bleu, baked filet of cod and carved sirloin with natural jus; braised beef brisket or baked salmon with fresh herb sauce add $1.50 per person (see Buffet Menu 3). If you want the sirloin carved in front of your guests, on-site carving is $150. Servers are $35 per hour with a four-hour minimum and a 20% service charge, and they pack your leftovers before they leave.
For a shower, the Shower Package is $21.99 per person with croissant sandwiches, tropical bowtie Caesar, pinwheels, a spinach bread bowl and a fruit display (see Shower Package). Add a dessert tray if you like (see Hors d'oeuvres & Platters): cheesecake squares at $59 for 35, lemon bars at $59 for 40, or chocolate covered strawberries at $69.
Boxed lunches are $14.50 and $16.50 with a 20-box minimum, delivered at the time you set (see Boxed Lunches).

Extremely professional, great communication, fantastic food, great service, and they are very willing to do the little details if needed (flexible!). They made us feel less stressed, we could trust them, and we feel like we received great value for the price we paid. I would recommend this caterer to anyone!!”
“Upper Crust just catered my daughter's bridal shower. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. Staff was very professional, answered all of my questions and arrived on time for set up. I would definitely recommend Upper Crust catering.”
“We had some catering done by Upper Crust for our son's high school graduation. We had used them previously for a wedding reception as well. The food is always excellent and there were so many people who said how good it was. I have always been impressed with this company. They are kind and courteous and will always answer all your questions. Great job!!!”
