Tom Thumb's Cookouts

Tom calls his year-round catering service cookouts because he likes the home-cooked, casual, and family-oriented feel of his meals. But this gentleman has catered everything from a small backyard cookout to a large fish fry at the North Carolina Governor’s mansion.

His photo gallery online at tomthumbcookouts.com shows him servicing everything from backyard hoedowns under blue skies to tented affairs, banquet halls filled with tables and white gown weddings. The photos of seafood, meats, hushpuppies and more will have you hankering for a special Tom Thumb occasion of your own.

He offers fried, steamed or grilled seafood, barbeque or grilled chicken, pig pickins, hot dog and hamburger cookouts, oyster roasts, seafood boils and even friend turkey dinners. You can order the main fare alone or have it come with all his delectable fixings. Tom will provide as much or as little as you desire, making every party a possibility for Outer Banks-style eating! Check out his website, and fill out a form online or give him a call.
