What to know before you order

Showers and brunches

The Shower Package is $21.99 per person with croissant sandwiches, salads and sweet treats, and it starts at 20 guests. If you would rather build your own, finger sandwiches are $89 for 60 pieces and pinwheel sandwiches are $79 for 60. Add a seasonal fresh fruit display at $74 and chocolate covered strawberries at $69 for 35 to 40, which are gluten free. More ideas for hosts are on our showers page.

Brunch by the tray

A brunch at home does not need a buffet line. Breakfast trays serve 20 at $69 and come in ham, sausage and cheddar, bacon, onion and Swiss, or vegetarian. Ham steaks with biscuits and sausage gravy are $6.99 per person. Orange juice, apple juice or coffee is $2.49 per person. Order three days ahead and pick up in Yorkville or ask for a delivery quote. Everything is cooked from scratch.

Birthday and anniversary dinners

For a seated dinner at home, Buffet Menu 1 at $18.99 per person is the comfortable choice, with herb roasted chicken, baked mostaccioli, meat loaf and pulled pork on the list. Finish with homemade apple crisp at $49, serving 12 to 15, or a cheesecake squares tray at $59 for 35 pieces. Plates, napkins and silverware are $1.50 per person and chafing dishes are $17 per hot dish, so the table is ready when the food lands.

“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!!!”

Questions

Catering in Wheaton, answered

More in the full FAQ, or call (630) 553-9533.

How far ahead should we order a shower for 30?
Standard orders need three days, but shower dates book well ahead, so call as soon as you have one. Staffed events with servers need 14 days. A 25% deposit reserves the date and credits to your balance.
Can we taste the food before a bigger event?
Tastings are by appointment at our kitchen showroom in Yorkville, for weddings and bigger events. Call (630) 553-9533 to set a time. Wheaton is about twenty-five miles away, so many hosts combine the tasting with a pick-up.
Are there vegetarian choices for a shower?
Yes. The vegetarian breakfast tray is $69 and serves 20, vegetarian baked lasagna is $40 or $70, and the fruit display and crudités are vegetarian and gluten free. Tell us every restriction when you order and the chefs plan around it.
How much is catering delivery to Wheaton?
Delivery to Wheaton is a flat $62.5. That covers the drive (about 50 minutes from our Yorkville kitchen), set-up of a buffet, and the driver texting you when they are five minutes away. Pick-up at 109 E Hydraulic Ave, Yorkville is free.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Wheaton?
3 days for a drop-off order and 14 days for a staffed event is comfortable. Weddings and graduation weekends in May and June book months out; funeral luncheons we can often do with a day's notice.
Can you deliver food to my office?
Yes. Boxed lunches, hot buffets and breakfast arrive at the delivery time you choose. We deliver across Kendall, Kane, Will and DuPage counties.
Some guests have allergies or dietary restrictions. What do I do?
Tell us in advance. Our chefs prepare separate meals for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal or allergy-specific guests. There is a dietary notes box on every order.
Can you provide staff for my event?
Certainly. Our servers set up and maintain the buffet, clear tables, and break down and pack your leftovers. Staff is $35 per hour per server with a four-hour minimum, plus a 20% service charge shared with the whole team.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. Weddings take a 20% deposit of the estimated cost. Other events take 25%, paid online when you accept the quote. Deposits are non-refundable and are credited toward your balance, which is due seven days before the event.
