About

At Rosemary & Rye, we believe good food brings people together. Owned and operated by chef Meghan Timby, we are proud to be a woman-owned business led by one of the few woman executive chefs in Charleston.

With an unfaltering commitment to exquisite cuisine and true Southern hospitality, Rosemary & Rye approaches every event, from galas and banquets to a dinner for two, with the utmost care and attention to detail. Our team of classically-trained chefs combine decades of experience and culinary knowledge spanning numerous continents to deliver dishes that excel in both taste and presentation.

No matter the venue, service, event type, or culinary style, we offer the communication and service you expect from a small business with the large-scale capability of a big company. Whether a corporate event, a grand wedding with hundreds of guests, or an intimate dinner party, we ensure our client’s needs are exceeded to the furthest extent of our creativity and understanding.

Rosemary & Rye place emphasis on locally and sustainably sourced ingredients and are Good Catch Certified by the Charleston Aquarium. We are proud to support local causes including Food Rescue US, Ronald McDonald House, MUSC Children’s Hospital, and to be an LGBTQ-inclusive caterer and bar provider.

Delicious Food and Genuine Team!

Rosemary and Rye hit it out of the park for our wedding of 210 people! My dad actually found R+R and sent me their menu raving about the unique take on southern staples that would also appease our half Boston based crowd.

We had the pecan chicken, steaming carving station, and create your own pasta bar. They serve it as tapas style which allows for multiple sides and guests to try all options easily! Their staff was beyond professional and kept guests moving through the lines. The passed apps were a huge hit and the raw bar was stunning! Guests raved about the freshness and how quickly they moved raw options to keep things cold and delicious!

The owners Meghan and Chris personally came up to both my mom and I during the night were so warm and kind. I truly can’t recommend the Rosemary and Rye team more!
