FAQs 

How do I work with your company on my event? 

The best way to book is online. If you have questions, please call or Text us at 252-216-0196. Have a basic idea of how many people you need to feed, the location, and your budget per person. 

How early do I need to contact you prior to the event? 

The earlier, the better. The caterer should be the first contact when planning an event. We handle events all the time and can save you money on rentals, setups, and venues. 

How do I work with you on a wedding? 

The process is the same as any other event. Weddings are a time of great joy and a lot of stress. Before you hire a wedding planner, talk to us. We do weddings every weekend, so our experience leads to a smooth event and savings for you. 

How do I decide on the menu? 

Look right on the site; you must have at least 6 people per menu. If you have a theme or genre of food in mind, we can fill in the blanks. If you don’t know, we do approximately 300 events per year. We can show you other menus we have done and guide you. Your menu will also be guided by the budget you have set for the event or wedding. 

Can I get pricing from you? 

Absolutely! Look on the site and register; this will give you a price, and you can book the event right here. 

We were not in your budget range yet you helped point us toward someone who could help us, why? 

As the premier Clam Bake Company in the Outer Banks, we understand food better than anyone. If you are not in our budget range, we know who cooks and who “heats up” foods. We want your event to be successful, so we will point you toward a qualified caterer who can help you meet your quality standards and event requirements. It is in our best interest for you to have a good event. Eventually, you will need us and the level of service we offer.
