Full Service Sterling Catering Menu
Sterling Catering provides a full service catering menu in Minneapolis for corporate events, weddings, private parties, celebrations, and gatherings of all sizes. Our menu covers everything from early-morning meetings to full dinner receptions.
You can build your menu around breakfast catering, brunch, lunch buffets, individually packaged lunch boxes, dinner entrées, desserts, food stations, and beverage service.
We also offer different catering styles, including buffet, plated, family-style, and staffed service, so the food can be planned around the setting and schedule of your event. Our team can accommodate groups ranging from small gatherings to events with hundreds of guests, and menus can be adjusted for dietary preferences and restrictions.
Breakfast Catering in Minneapolis
Morning events can be as simple as coffee and baked goods or include a full hot breakfast. Our Minneapolis breakfast catering menu includes breakfast entrées, pastries, fresh fruit, breakfast potatoes, parfaits, breakfast tacos, and build-your-own options.
Many selections are portioned for groups, making it easy to combine a few items for meetings, employee breakfasts, showers, and other morning events.
Brunch Catering in Minneapolis
Brunch catering from gives you room to mix breakfast favorites with heartier options for a later morning or early afternoon event. Sterling Catering can help you put together a spread with sweet and savory dishes, fresh fruit, baked goods, breakfast stations, and beverages.
For a larger gathering, stations and build-your-own options can also give guests more choice without requiring a formal seated meal.
Lunch Catering in Minneapolis
Our lunch catering in Minneapolis can be planned as a buffet or individually packaged meal. Buffet choices include pasta, sandwiches, rice bowls, and other build-your-own selections, while boxed options work well when guests need a meal they can grab quickly or take back to a meeting.
Tell us your headcount, location, and service needs, and we can help you choose an approach that fits the event.
Lunch Box Catering
Lunch box catering is especially useful for meetings, training sessions, conferences, and events where individual portions are more practical than a buffet.
Our current menu features sandwich and salad box options with sides and dessert. Individually packaged meals also make distribution straightforward when attendees are working on different schedules or eating in separate areas.
Dinner Entree Catering
Evening events often call for a little more structure. Our dinner entree catering can include chicken, beef, pork, seafood, or vegetarian selections, along with salads, accompaniments, and dessert.
Dinner can be served buffet-style, plated, or family-style depending on the venue and the experience you want for your guests.
Dessert, Food Station & Beverage Catering
Dessert can be added to nearly any menu, with options ranging from cookies and bars to mini desserts and full-size tortes.
Our food station catering options also include interactive choices that can work as part of the main meal or as a late-night addition.
For beverage and drink catering, we offer nonalcoholic service as well as beer, wine, liquor, bartending, setup, and cleanup.
Catering Styles We Offer
The service style can change how the meal fits into your event. At Sterling Catering, we offer catering styles including:
- Buffet service for variety and flexible dining
- Plated service for a more structured seated meal
- Family-style service with shared dishes at each table
- Drop-off catering when you mainly need food delivered
