Actual Food Nashville is a full-service catering company, offering all levels of food and bar service. The Actual Food philosophy focuses on high quality and local ingredients to create clean, delicious, and beautiful meals, which become the focal point of any event. Our menus include classic southern, modern Mediterranean, Asian fusion, vegan, and various other cuisines. We will customize a menu to your exact tastes or dietary needs.

Our service ranges from backyard barbecues to black tie galas, and we bring the same level of care and attention to detail to each and every event we cater. Every step of our process is designed to bring your vision to life on the day of the event. We offer attentive communication from our event design team, tastings with a menu customized to your unique preferences, craft cocktail creation sessions, and seamless cohesion with any other vendors you are working with.

Along with a talented bar team and a robust craft cocktail program, we also have an off-site catering liquor-by-the-drink license, allowing us to be your one-stop shop for alcohol and bartending service.
