In this blog, we have gathered up the top clambake tips so that you don’t put a bad taste in the mouth of your beloved guests at your special event!
Clambake Catering Do’s
Choose a theme
Selecting a funny or interesting theme helps your guests enjoy the event even more and provides them with exciting and beautiful memories. For example, you can choose a theme of coastal atmosphere to create a special atmosphere at your event.
Fresh seafood
Whenever you host a Clambake event, focus more on providing fresh and delicious seafood with high-quality ingredients. It doesn’t only taste better but also gives you peace of mind that your guests will be safe and impressed with the food

In any event, every guest wants to have a relaxed sitting. Therefore, you should have an estimate of the number of people attending your event. It is one of the most important parts of organizing any event to make it successful. You also need to decide the best place to set up the buffet and bar.
Wide-range of beverages
People don’t always need a buzz to spend quality time! So, don’t forget to offer non-alcoholic beverage options to your guests. Moreover, you can also set the bottles directly on the table for your guests to make pouring that much easier!
Hire experienced caterers
Nobody wants to burn a hole in their pocket while hosting such events. Hiring catering clambakes experts will help you save your hard-earned money. They have more experience and connections, such as access to wholesale suppliers, which makes the costs lower rather than buying things from grocery stores or retail shops.
Clambake Catering Don’ts
Avoid items that don’t fit your budget
Although it’s important to create an inviting space for your guests, putting too much effort into luxury decorations can distract them from an interesting Clambake experience. Getting professional assistance from professional catering companies helps you allocate your budget wisely.
Don’t prepare the food in advance
Cooking and preparing the food beforehand can make the even tastiest food unappetizing and, in the case of seafood, unsafe! Therefore, greet your guests, move around and mingle without worrying about the food. To avoid running out or wasting food, connect with specialized clambake caterers to determine the estimated amount of food based on the guests attending your event.
Don’t forget the clean-up
Plan proper cleaning of the tables and waste management processes before your event begins. For example, you can select a particular area to place garbage, disposal of shells, or recyclables to keep your event well-organized.
Don’t ignore guest feedback
At the end of your event, ask your guests how their experience was and take their feedback to heart so you can make your next clambake even better!
