Reviews From Our Fans

See what people are saying about our clambake catering

• "The evening was perfect on all accounts. You guys have got it down pat with the service, set up and your famous fried clams. I am so glad we included them in the event, could they taste any better?"
  Jack Tatelman
  Managing Partner
  Merrimack Valley Distributing Co.
  
  
• "The food was fabulous and the service extraordinary. We've already heard from the majority of our guests that it was beyond their wildest expectations of an "appreciation luncheon"."
  Bonnie Rosse
  Concord, MA
  
  
• "All the food was delicious, perfectly cooked and served hot. But, I have to tell you the Fried Clams were the biggest hit of all. Those clams brought me, and many others at the party, back to the Fried Clams of our youth. They were perfection in a bite. They were a great appetizer, to a great meal."

• "You have much more than a catering staff, you really have an event-planning expertise. Little did we realize the scope of a Woodman's experience from 'china' plates and wine glasses to expertly timed service in every course. What a gem you have as a family institution."

• "Your staff is amazing! Thanks again for making this a great event for us. All went really well. I never have to worry about a thing with your staff AND they are such a pleasure to work with. They truly are great and our distributors love them as well. We look forward to our September clambake!"

• "It was extremely easy working with you and your staff on planning the perfect customer appreciation event. The entire experience was A+ from start to finish. Our customers (and Land Rover employees) couldn't stop raving about their meals... I will definitely recommend your catering services to my friends, family, and co-workers."

• "The professionalism of your staff has really taken the stress out of planning such a large (300 plus guests) event and I couldn't thank you more. From start to finish each of our events has been perfectly orchestrated and the experience and dedication of all your employees really showed. The quality of your service and the food that was prepared at all of our events was phenomenal and I will highly recommend your catering service to anyone who many be in need."

• "Woodman's has been providing outstanding clambake service for us for at least the last 15 years. Of course, the food is outstanding but that is expected. For me the aspect that makes Woodman's different is the crew. They are outstanding! Sometimes it can be pretty uncomfortable in the hot sun and there is often no place for them to rest. For me, I look forward to seeing those familiar smiling faces that truly make the difference!"

The "Clam-B-Q" has established itself as a tradition here at the college and we would not have such a wonderful and delicious event without everything you do! Thank you so very much. We are looking forward to working with you next year!"
