Actual Real Food

Plan Your Next Event With Actual Food Nashville; a one-stop-shop that values quality over quantity.

Actual Food Nashville is a full-service catering company that offers all levels of food and bar. Their philosophy focuses on high quality and local ingredients to create clean, delicious, and beautiful meals, which become the focal point of any event. Their menus include classic southern, modern Mediterranean, Asian fusion, vegan, and various other cuisines – a special touch as their menus, cocktails, and services are all rooted in cultural backgrounds.

“Every event is an opportunity to celebrate someone's personal story,” Dan Forberg, Owner and Founder, shares. “Through food, drink, and service, we find ways to incorporate that history by connecting with each client to uncover not just the baselines of a family heritage, but true authenticity to each individual.”

Whether it be paying homage to a specific cultural dish made in your house or the cocktails you and your fiancé ordered on your first date, Dan continues to share that they want to add the touches to your event that honor the traditions of both you and your guests, while creating a special experience. “These are the kinds of [things] that help us dive deep into personalizing each event and create special experiences," he says.

With a dedicated, long-standing event staff, and services ranging from backyard barbecues to black tie galas, Actual Food Nashville prides themselves on bringing healthy and creative offerings to the table while providing guests with a world of flavors to explore. Their sister business is an eclectic neighborhood cocktail bar called the Inglewood Lounge. There, they have learned the importance of building community, providing down-to-earth service, and serving delicious cocktails and food.

 The team at Actual Food Nashville is passionate about what they do and love to be a small part of someone’s big day. For more information on Actual Food Nashville, visit actualfoodnashville.com or follow them on socials @actualfoodnash.
