The Rambler Difference
Founded in 2017, Rambler offers a one-of-a-kind and innovative approach to the traditional catering options. Based in Nashville, TN, our unique concept and mobile kitchen allow us to travel anywhere to light our fires and provide an elevated dining experience.
Our menus are crafted using locally sourced ingredients with an emphasis on thoughtful, refined cuisine. Our meals are cooked fresh, on-site, using our custom equipment – solely using wood & coals with the oldest cooking techniques and traditions, it’s a difference you can see, smell, and taste.
We have conceptualized, designed, and built each piece of our wood burning cooking equipment. All of our custom pieces sit on raised “fire bases” to not disturb any type of ground we are working on.
If you enjoy elevated, thoughtful cuisine, appreciate fresh and seasonal ingredients from local farms, and are interested in a truly one of a kind, immersive dining experience, we would be a great match!
Guest Experience
Years of experience, paired with extensive culinary backgrounds, have led us to specialize in outdoor, open-fire cooking, and we want to share that with you and your guests.
Imagine as your guests arrive they see the smoke, hear the crackle of the fires, smell fresh meats and vegetables roasting over the coals, observe the chefs preparing the meal before them, and witness a unique concept that adds something special to every event.
An experience you won’t forget, we welcome you and your guests to watch us cook, ask questions, and learn about new ingredients and cooking methods.
Due to the unique nature of our open-fire cooking concept, we are able to arrive, set up, and cook on site; with no need for additional utilities or infrastructure. We can light our fires for large weddings and gatherings, or small intimate backyard dinners. Our flexibility is what allows us to work with all different types and styles of events - we need nothing extra and can travel wherever the wind takes us.
Client Experience
We love working with clients to craft a once-in-a-lifetime meal for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion. Typically, our clients have hand-picked people and elements to perfectly represent a specific vision - from the ambiance & vibe, to the colors, venue, and flowers. We want to make sure the meal aligns with the overall experience.
When you choose to work with Rambler, we ensure you are our top priority — we only take a limited number of private events per year, allowing our team to put our sole focus on each event or wedding we cater.
Local, Seasonal, Sustainable
We believe you should never have to settle for “catering food.” Our elevated seasonal menus are crafted to feature the highest quality ingredients available, and we work with local farmers to ensure we’re supporting the community and highlighting their hard work.
Always conscious of our environment and the footprint we leave, we utilize eco-friendly practices including using plant-based soaps and cleaning products at our event sites, ensuring minimal food waste, and composting whenever possible.
We offer two different wood-fired service options: family-style dining and a seasonal buffet spread. The former allows for sharing and brings people together, and the latter offers a more casual approach.
Seasonal Menus
We create a set menu for each season, allowing us to fine tune and perfect the meal for every event. Extensive thought and planning goes into our menus, and allows us to showcase what is in season and at its best. In addition to our seasonal menu, we also create a custom, signature dish for each event.
