Childers Catering

Childers Catering is a family-owned caterer in Peoria that handles everything from breakfast spreads and boxed lunches to plated dinners, with full-service bars and desserts. The menus cover breakfast, lunch, hors d'oeuvres, entrees, late night and bar service, and the team will work on custom dishes and special requests. The business has been running for more than 40 years, starting with Ed Childers and now run by the next generation of the family.

The company caters at its own venue, Gateway by Childers on the Peoria Riverfront, and at event facilities and locations across Central Illinois, including events in Missouri. Planning goes through their event specialists, who work from inquiry through delivery and setup. The family also runs four Childers Eatery restaurants.
