Caterer, Charcuterie in Birmingham, AL
Table and Thyme Catering is a Black-owned catering company based in Hoover, serving the greater Birmingham, Alabama area with elevated, personalized event catering. The business specializes in grazing tables, graze boxes, and large-format charcuterie boards designed as a centerpiece for weddings, corporate events, showers, and private parties, pairing cured meats, artisan cheeses, seasonal fruit, and gourmet accompaniments into visually striking spreads. Beyond charcuterie, Table and Thyme also offers full-service plated dinners and buffet-style catering, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their event's size and tone. A hallmark of the brand is its sourcing: the company works exclusively with Birmingham-based American Butcher Meats for its cured meat selections, keeping the supply chain local and giving clients a distinctly regional flavor profile. The team emphasizes hospitality as much as food, describing their approach as curating "elevated experiences" built around thoughtful displays, attentive service, and genuine conversation rather than simply dropping off trays. This focus on presentation has made their boards a recognizable feature at Birmingham-area weddings and social gatherings, and the company has been featured in local roundups of the city's best grazing board makers. Whether booked for an intimate bridal shower or a large wedding reception, Table and Thyme positions itself as a one-stop option for hosts who want their food to double as decor, with menus that can be customized around dietary preferences, budget, and guest count.
Table and Thyme Catering grew out of a passion for bringing people together through food, taking root in the Birmingham metro area as grazing boards and charcuterie displays surged in popularity across the South. Founded and run as a Black-owned small business, the company built its name within the local wedding and events community, where word-of-mouth referrals from brides, planners, and venues helped it grow from smaller gatherings into full wedding and corporate catering work. A defining early decision was to partner exclusively with a Birmingham-based butcher for cured meats, a choice that tied the business firmly to the local food economy and gave its boards a signature, community-rooted quality rather than mass-produced ingredients. Over time, the business expanded its offerings beyond grazing tables to include plated and buffet catering, reflecting demand from clients who discovered the company through its visually striking boards and returned for full event service. Today Table and Thyme is recognized in the Birmingham area as one of the go-to names for stylish, hospitality-driven catering, having been featured in local media coverage of the city's grazing board trend. The team continues to describe its mission in terms of experience rather than transactions, framing every event as an opportunity to combine food, display, and service into a memorable occasion for hosts and guests alike.
