Currently, Caribbean Grill proudly offers catering services only, to all of Champaign County, Illinois. However, we are working hard to establish a restaurant location in the Urbana-Champaign area.

For Casual and Standard catering, you can choose to pick up your order from our commercial kitchen or have it delivered for a nominal fee (5% of your total order cost).

The pricing for Casual and Standard catering orders is very straightforward and can be calculated directly from our catering menu (plus tax, and delivery if applicable). Formal catering service requires a bit more information to determine accurate pricing. This is based on the number of attendees, menu, venue, staff, and any rentals that may be necessary. Please contact us today to arrange your next formal event.

For Casual and Standard Catering there is a $150 minimum food order. Click here to view our menu. For Formal or Splendid Occasions event catering, a 50 guest minimum is required.

A contract is required for all catered events costing more than $500. A deposit may also be required to reserve your date. This goes towards procuring ingredients, consultations, staffing, and other costs incurred by Caribbean Grill, leading up to your event. You will receive a written quotation outlining all requested services and related costs prior to the deposit being paid. The remaining balance is required no less than seven (7) business days before your scheduled event.

Casual and Standard catering orders can be fulfilled with as little as 48-72 hours notice. Formal catering events require much more advance notice in order to secure your date, select a menu, finalize the contract, etc. The further in advance Caribbean Grill is contacted about catering your special event, the better we will be able to accommodate your needs.
