We have decades of experience offering traditional New England clambakes and BBQs to clients, whether it's at a large venue on the beach or an elegant backyard reception. At East Coast Clambakes, we know how special your big day is and do everything we can to make it a night to remember.

Our clambake buffet is a seafood lover's dream come true, featuring items such as steamed littleneck clams, fresh lobster, and clam chowder. On top of that, we offer numerous sides ranging from our house salad with a homemade vinaigrette to sweet corn and red smashed potatoes. We also have plenty of à la carte options available. Our chefs can shuck oysters fresh on-site for a loaded raw bar or grill marinated beef kabobs for a passed appetizer.

Authentic Clambake Wedding

My Husband and I wanted an authentic New England clambake for our reception and are so happy we used East Coast Clambakes to help us. I felt so comfortably with them the entire time. The owner was so responsive to my many questions and helped with anything I needed. On the day of our wedding everything went so smooth. The food was absolutely delicious and my guests loved it. Thank you so much East Coast Clambames!

A Dream Wedding Thanks to East Coast Clambakes

Me and my wife reached out to Kevin late last year for an event this summer. From start to finish, Kevin and his crew were absolutely amazing to work with. They worked around our timing and even offered helpful advice on our appetizer hour that we were stressing over. We ended up going with their Clambake Menu and added in a charcuterie board, a fresh garden vegetable platter, bacon-wrapped scallops, grilled beef kabobs, and some additional desserts.

Our guests loved the food and it certainly made our big day easier knowing that we had someone competent helping us out. My wife and I highly recommend East Coast Clambakes for anyone looking to have a traditional clambake at their wedding or big event.

Team

Kevin Cohn
Kevin Cohn
Owner

Clambakes have been a part of the Cohn family history for three generations. I have spent my entire adult life catering clambakes onsite throughout New England, starting in Southern Connecticut in the mid 2000's and eventually founding Clambakes of Massachusetts in 2010. In 2021 I decided to form East Coast Clambakes to concentrate exclusively on the rest of New England.

East Coast Clambakes is supported by a fabulous staff that boasts years of experience in the catering business. Our team realizes how important your event is to you and stops at nothing to ensure its success. Our flexibility, attention to detail and fresh local ingredients have been the hallmark of our service.

I believe in catering every event as if it were for my own family. That means going the extra mile for every one of our customers. Our years of experience means we have a wide range of resources to ensure your event goes off perfect, but as a local family business I take great pride making sure every detail is as it should be. Every Saturday morning you will find me personally inspecting each lobster that comes into our main kitchen.

At the end of the day our only goal is to make sure your event exceeds your expectations. Feel free to call or email me with any questions, whether you're interested in booking or if you just want to know more about us. We look forward to hearing from you!
