Chef Ellen and her team were fantastic from start to finish. She was very accommodating given the short notice of my 25 person corporate event. She was able to keep within our budget while still providing an amazing selection of passed hors d'oeuvres and a generous bar selection. Renegade Outpost's communication was above and beyond. The entire event was flawlessly executed. I look forward to working with Renegade Outpost in the future and highly suggest giving them a call for any and all event needs. More...

We cannot thank Renegade Outpost enough for making our Condo’s New Year’s Eve party such a huge success! Chef Ellen and her amazing team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect.
They catered, prepared, and served an incredible spread of food that our guests couldn’t stop raving about.
Chef Ellen was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. Her expertise and clear communication made everything so much easier. She guided us through the menu selection and ensured every dish was tailored to our needs. On the night of the event, her team was professional, attentive, and an absolute delight to have around.
If you’re looking for outstanding catering and exceptional service, look no further than Renegade Outpost. Thank you, Chef Ellen and team, for helping us ring in the new year in such a memorable way!

A few of us were looking for a caterer to provide hors d’oeuvres for a book launch party. We had a couple of recommendations from people we knew, but I also looked on the web and found Renegade which had gotten high reviews from a number of people. We went with Renegade because they were the reasonably priced, the best at communication (always responded to emails and phone calls right away), terrific on things like advising us how many people could fit in the space (they came over in, advanced to consult), not to mention that we had a series of seven hors d’oeuvres that were out of this world. I highly recommend Chef Ellen and Renegade Outpost Catering. I would have no reservation about hiring them again. You should too if you’re doing an event! ❤️ More...

Chef Ellen did a great job catering and organizing our wedding reception at the DUMBO Loft. She was always in touch, and did a great job, especially for the price. The guests were all highly impressed, and the venue looked great! More...

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. More...

Renegade Outpost was the perfect catering choice for our wedding. From our first interaction, her communication was clear, helpful, and incredibly kind.
Chef Ellen was so considerate throughout the entire planning process, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The quality of her work was truly impeccable - the food they served was absolutely delicious, full of vibrant flavors that left our guests raving all night long. Chef Ellen is more than just a caterer, she was integral to helping us have the wedding of our dreams. I would not have been able to pull off such an amazing event without her expertise and professionalism. Renegade Outpost is the best of the best, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Ellen is straightforward and efficient; she is a great to work with. My boss loved the team event and all the curated details.

In the last year, Chef Ellen and Renegade Outpost have catered 2 receptions for the Smith College Club of New York City, for approximately 100 members in a large apartment building designated meeting space and a Chelsea art gallery.
They are scheduled to work with us again in a few weeks for a similar reception.
Working with Chef Ellen and her company has been nothing but a pleasure. Discussions and contracting are straightforward. The menus are creative, geared to the nature of the event and our clientele’s demographic and tastes. The food is delicious! Pricing is rational, related to ingredient choices; preparation is impeccable. Everything is delivered on time by a trained and polite staff. At the end of the evening the workspace is left clear and clean.
In sum, I cannot recommend Chef Ellen and Renegade Outpost more highly.

Chef Ellen responded to my inquiry almost instantly and accommodated all my needs within a few days. I trusted her years of experiences and the results were wonderful arrays of cocktail food - the tasty and creative fusion of American, European, and Asian - served elegantly to my guests. I highly recommend Ellen’s service. More...
