Based in Winchester, KY, Thompson Catering began as Thompson's IGA Food Mart, serving grocery shoppers throughout the state nearly 70 years ago. The last grocery store was sold in 2000 with primary focus shifting towards catering, event planning and party equipment rental. Our current line-up of catering and event professionals have a combined work experience of over 150 years in the hospitality business. We are a turn-key operation designed to allow you, the customer, to enjoy your party and mingle with your guests instead of worrying about a multitude of vendors.

Thompson's catered my wedding in May and provided the tent, tables, chairs, and dance floor. I highly recommend Mike and his team! He was so easy to communicate with in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The. staff that served at the wedding was professional and pleasant, and the food was delicious! We got so many compliments from our guests on the food. Thank you so much for helping us throw a fantastic wedding!

Due to covid, my wife and I had to find a caterer about 5 weeks before our wedding. Thompson was incredibly helpful. He provided a tasting, met every request, made great suggestions. The venue had specific requirements to be an approved venue and Thompson attended an orientation so that they can be approved. The day of the wedding, his staff was incredibly helpful, professional.
We didn't have a wedding planner, so the captain really was a lifesaver in keeping everything organized. The bartender was great, they helped us put away our items. Last, but not least, everyone raved about the food. In short, I almost wish I could get married again so I could give them more business.

We have rented from Thompson and had the greatest experience! They were very accommodating and quick to reply. We have also had food catered at a rehearsal dinner and it was not only delicious but very organized. I would recommend using them for any services you need but can highly recommend wedding rentals and catering!

Thompson's Catering is family owned and operated, and they treated us just like that-family. Mike made the reception-planning for my daughter's wedding the easiest and most comfortable thing we did. Thompson's was full of ideas, without any pressure; accommodating because of unpredictable weather concerns and the pandemic; friendly, courteous, professional, affordable, and meticulous in every detail. Did I mention the bountiful and delicious food? It was outstanding! We were and are 100% satisfied and will heartily recommend Thompson's Catering again and again!

We have been ordering from Thompson's for almost three months. The meats are amazing-beef tenderloin, strip steaks, boneless pork chops, hamburgers, ground beef and chicken breasts. We really like the charcoal from there, we've gone through four bags, it gives the meats the best wood-fire test. The quality and price is unbelievable, so much better than the average grocery stores. Thank you for offering such incredible meats and services to the community!
