What to know before you order

Graduation parties in the backyard

For 50 guests under a tent, Buffet Menu 1 at $18.99 per person gives you a hot spread of herb roasted chicken, baked mostaccioli, meat loaf and pulled pork. Buffets start at 20 guests. Add chafing dishes at $17, plates, napkins and silverware at $1.50 per person, and iced tea, punch or lemonade at $89 for 50 servings. Book your date early. Staffed service is $35 per hour per server.

A shower or brunch at home

The Shower Package is $21.99 per person with croissant sandwiches, salads and sweet treats, and it starts at 20 guests. For fewer guests, finger sandwiches are $89 for 60 pieces and a seasonal fresh fruit display is $74. Breakfast trays serve 20 at $69. Everything is cooked from scratch at our Yorkville kitchen. Order three days ahead for trays and fourteen days if you want servers. A deposit of 25% holds the date and credits toward your bill.

Thanksgiving dinner to go

Thanksgiving Dinner is $22.99 per person with a minimum of six, cooked from scratch and ready to reheat at home, with reheating instructions included. Add a pumpkin pie at $16.99. Roasted tom turkey, whipped potatoes, sage stuffing and cranberry sauce are on the menu. Pick-up at the Yorkville kitchen is the simplest way to collect it. Because it comes ready to reheat, nobody has to be in the kitchen on the day, and leftovers keep for sandwiches.

“My wife and I had Upper Crust for our wedding. They did an absolutely fantastic job! 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!!”

“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!!!”
