North Island Catering in a Batavia now has their own venue in Oswego

If you are planning a event for up to 60 people indoors or 175 in our outdoor Pavillion , please consider Pearce’s at Foxbend Golf Course in Oswego.

This review was posted to our Facebook page this morning. Call Allen at 847-334-1344 for more information.

From Christmas parties to weddings. We have over 40 years of experience

With outstanding references and reviews to offer.

We had our daughter’s wedding at Pearce’s and I want to say that Al & Chris Soboj were a joy to work with. Words cannot express the appreciation we have for all they did. We had a lot of challenges with 2020, change of date, change of venue, and change of menu. Al & Chris stepped up and guided us through all the steps we needed to take. The tasting was exceptional with full plates of our choices. With 2020, we wanted to keep everyone safe and decided on buffet style with Al & Chris’ exceptional staff serving everyone. The appetizers were passed by the staff. The bar was well staffed which minimized wait time. We could not have done this without their help. Thank you and your amazing staff for a wonderful experience!!
