Private Events & Catering
Buyouts, group dinners, office catering, or booking Rogue On The Rhode for your event. Answer a few questions and we'll tell you straight away if it's a fit.
What we do
- In-house gatherings: semi-private and full buyouts for groups of 8 and up.
- Off-site catering: farm-to-table spreads built around your menu and budget.
- Rogue On The Rhode: our award-winning food truck, anywhere in Rhode Island we can park it — weddings and corporate lots to fundraisers, film sets, and backyards.
Every menu is written for the event, so there's no set list to pick from — tell us the crowd and the budget and we'll build it.
The more you tell us, the faster we can quote. Prefer to talk? Call (401) 831-3733.

Real menus, real events
A few we've cooked before
Every menu below was built for that specific event and never reused word for word — they're here so you show up with ideas, not a form to fill in blind. No pricing on purpose: the same headcount can run anywhere from a $2,000 to a $5,000+ menu, and we'd rather talk it through than let a number here rule us out too early.

Before you ask
Event questions, answered
- How far in advance should I book catering or the food truck?
- Popular weekend dates and wedding season fill up first, so two weeks or more of lead time is ideal. Have a closer date? Send the form anyway; we fast-track events with a date on the line.
- What areas does Rogue Island cater?
- We are based in downtown Providence and cover Rhode Island plus nearby Southeastern New England. Tell us your town in the quote form and we will confirm travel for your date.
- What is the difference between full-service catering and drop-off?
- Full-service means our crew cooks and serves on site, either from Rogue On The Rhode or a staffed spread. Drop-off means we deliver farm-to-table platters ready to serve. The form asks which you prefer, and we will recommend the better fit for your headcount.
- How many guests does the food truck need?
- The truck shines at about 50 guests and up. For smaller gatherings, drop-off catering or a semi-private room at the restaurant is usually the better value, and we will steer you honestly.
- How fast will I hear back about my event?
- Every inquiry gets a reply within one business day, and big events with a firm date usually hear back the same day.
