Highly recommend

Chef Ellen really came through for us and delivered a great catering experience for our guests. Our event was a bit non-traditional and full of our own custom dishes, which she seamlessly incorporated into her catering plan for the event. Kudos to the staff as well for their support and positive interactions with our guests, a very hardworking team. Additionally, Chef Ellen came through on aspects that quite frankly weren't even her responsibility making sure that design aspects as it related to table placement and setting made sense both functionally and aesthetically.

Great caterer

I hired Ellen and her crew for an office party. I had to do all the planning remotely due to not living in the state where the party was taking place. Ellen was easy to work with, she was efficient, a greater coordinator, very knowledgeable about all the details needed to throw a great party, decorations, tasty food and drinks. I would highly recommend her services to others looking for a caterer that will help you step by step in ensuring your party is a hit.

September Wedding! Amazing Experience!

Chef Ellen is truly one of a kind! We couldn’t be happier with our choice to use Renegade Outpost at our wedding this past September! Chef Ellen is amazing and truly cares about the entire event going well, not just the food.

We thought we were throwing a curveball with our unique cocktail-style reception… 4 hours of continuous passed apps, grazing tables, and more. But Chef Ellen made it all look easy.

She came to walkthroughs at our venue and helped us create the perfect custom menu for our day. She also had so many ideas to help us make the most of the space, ensure a good flow of the party, and more. Ellen’s prices are very fair and she will work within your budget. The passed apps were unreal (our guests are still raving about them) and the grazing table was absolutely gorgeous and constantly stocked. The whole team, from the cooks to the servers, was amazing: fast, friendly, and organized.

If you’re looking for a caterer who can create a unique and delicious menu while bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience (Michelin-star experience, to boot!), we highly recommend Renegade Outpost. Chef Ellen helped make our day unforgettable!

Great food with a large portion of kindness

Chef Ellen & her staff were amazing. My sisters & I were planning an 80th birthday dinner for 20-30 people at an AirBNB rental property we had never been to before and was 500 miles from our home. Chef Ellen's expertise and thoughtful consideration of numerous planning items we had not yet considered, helped us to plan a fantastic event. Working with Chef Ellen to develop our menu was a fun collaborative process and she was able to accomodate several allergy restrictions. Chef Ellen's food was delicious. We have some finicky eaters in our bunch and she did a wonderful job navigating several precise requests about food & meat preparations on the spot from the birthday guest. All our guests remarked on how wonderful the food was, but our greatest delight was how Chef Ellen and her staff incorporated the eager curiosity of our 4 kids age 5 -12. On the spot, Chef Ellen focused and incorporated their eager energy into circulating appetizers - teaching them precisely how to carefully carry each kind of tray and each type of appetizer. It was her willingness to incorporate the kids (we had not discussed or even imagined this until the kids invaded the kitchen!) in such a productive, educational, and thoughtful manner that had us & all our guests delighted. Our kids will carry this happy memory for a lifetime. We expected good food and we got it, but Chef Ellen also brought a kind spirit to our gathering that I believe is a truly rare find in this business. We could not recommend her food and her service more highly.

Great food, great service

We chose Renegade Outpost based on their extensive menu and value for money. Chef Ellen worked with us from day one to create a beautiful, customized menu that all of our guests loved (and so did we!). She also worked with us on other aspects of planning such as party rentals and a floor plan. A major bonus is that Renegade Outpost focuses on minimizing food waste. The food was delicious, beautiful and eco-friendly and the staff was super helpful and helped give us the most magical wedding day experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
