General Store Catering

Amazing local food, lovingly prepared

We’re well-known across the state and across the country for our high-quality locally sourced dishes. For your special day, we make sure your food is amazing, giving you and your guests an experience to remember.

The perfect team for the perfect venue

Unlike many other caterers, Saxapahaw General Store catering uses a close-knit team of professionals who have worked with each other, and have worked on events in the Haw River Ballroom, for years. 

Years of experience making it flawless

Since the General Store is in the same building as the Haw River Ballroom, we’ve been working events in the Ballroom for a long time. They’re our friends and our neighbors. And we know how to optimize the space for your needs.

We offer catering for pick-up, delivery, or on-site service at your chosen venue. Most pick-up orders require just 48 hours' notice. Our catering options include sandwich platters, salads, boxed lunches, casseroles like lasagna and eggplant parmesan, hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and more. We also offer a broad selection of beverages, including sodas, waters, and hand-selected wines from small producers worldwide. Pair your meal with some of North Carolina’s finest brews, available in bottles or kegs.

In addition to food and drink, we provide full-service catering, from setup to breakdown, including meal service and bar staffing.

As the primary caterer for the Haw River Ballroom—one of North Carolina’s premier wedding and event venues—we bring our expertise to this stunning space with its 42-foot-high ceilings, state-of-the-art sound, and rustic elegance. Located next to the General Store in the historic Saxapahaw Mill, the Ballroom is a truly unique setting for any occasion.

Let’s work together

  • "Cameron, Patti, and the incredibly professional staff of Saxapahaw Catering made our wedding an evening to remember. The ballroom was stunning; the food fantastic, and the service flawless. Many of our friends said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. (Our married friends said it was the second best!)"

    -Curt & Lisa

  • "Let me just say, everything was absolutely spectacular for the wedding.  We were blown away and I can't tell you how many of our guests told us it was the best food they have ever had at any wedding they'd been to.  To be able to have such an amazing meal with so much of the food sourced locally absolutely meant the world to us and we are so thrilled we had the opportunity to work with you and your staff."

    Corey & Samantha

  • "We had a beautiful wedding in an incredible venue with fantastic music, but what we still hear about from friends and family all the time is how delicious the food was. We highly recommend the Saxapahaw General Store for wedding catering. They were accommodating to our needs in the planning stage, and the day of, their staff handled everything beautifully. With their food and service, they gave our wedding a sense of authenticity, comfort, and style."
