When you think of a neighborhood country store, you probably imagine a cozy place where you can pick up fresh bread, local produce, and maybe a quick bite to eat. But at Rye Country Store, we take that comforting community feel and expand it beyond our front door. Our catering services have become a beloved extension of what we do best: providing fresh, homemade food that brings people together, whether it’s for an intimate backyard brunch or a big summer celebration.
Good food has a way of setting the tone for any gathering. Whether you’re hosting a graduation party, a family reunion, or an office luncheon, the right spread can turn a simple get-together into an occasion to remember. Rye Country Store’s catering menu is designed with this in mind — rooted in classic favorites but always customizable to fit your unique taste and event style. From crisp salads and hearty sandwiches to beautifully arranged charcuterie boards and warm, comforting entrees, every dish is made with the same care and quality that keeps our daily customers coming back.
What sets our catering apart is our commitment to freshness and local flavor. We source ingredients from nearby farms whenever possible, and we cook everything in-house so it arrives at your event tasting just like it would if you’d picked it up straight from our kitchen. That’s why so many local families and businesses trust us for birthdays, holiday parties, and milestone moments — they know they’re serving food that’s honest, wholesome, and delicious.
Planning an event can feel stressful, but our team makes it simple and personal. We love helping customers create menus that match their vision and their guests’ tastes. Maybe you want a rustic picnic-style lunch with fresh fruit platters, sandwiches, and homemade cookies. Or perhaps you’re hosting an evening cocktail party and need grazing boards, bite-sized hors d’oeuvres, and desserts that look as good as they taste. Whatever your vibe, we’ll work with you to get every detail just right.
Summer is one of our busiest times for catering, and for good reason. Warm weather calls for outdoor celebrations — graduation parties under twinkling lights, casual backyard BBQs, and family reunions where kids run barefoot while the grown-ups catch up over fresh salads and iced tea. We love being part of these moments. Our catering team knows how to prepare food that stays fresh and delicious even on hot days, and we offer delivery or easy pickup to keep your hosting duties as hassle-free as possible.
What our customers appreciate most is that our catering feels like an extension of our store’s community spirit. When you serve Rye Country Store’s food at your event, you’re supporting local farmers, bakers, and producers who care about what they make. You’re also giving your guests something they can’t get from a big-box catering chain: honest, handcrafted food with a story behind every bite.
So, if you’re planning a gathering this season — whether it’s a cozy brunch for close friends or a lively summer bash for fifty — let Rye Country Store handle the menu. We’ll take care of the cooking, so you can focus on what really matters: good company, great conversation, and the simple joy of sharing a meal that tastes like home.
