How We Cook Your New England Clambake

The original “Indian Clambake” that our great great grandfather Roberts catered required a beach and a day—digging a hole, heating the rocks, and waiting hours to cook. Our grandfather, his son-in-law “Chubby” Woodman looked for a better way – and so created a more efficient method to cook a clambake which allowed him to boast, “We come to you and cook.”

No longer did people need to find a beach to experience the pleasures of a New England clambake – he could deliver the experience right to their door. Loading everything onto a truck he drove to his customer’s site where he cooked the clambake over a wood fire in large, specially designed “boiler pots”.

His new clambake system gave him the flexibility to travel throughout New England serving groups of all sizes at the client’s location. From parks to parking lots he “drove to them and cooked” – enabling many more people to experience a New England clambake. Today fire regulations demand a switch from a wood fire to propane, yet the same great experience holds true – we come to you – wherever you are. We boast the ability to cook your meal and have it piping hot in a little over an hour!
