North Shore catering is easy when you invite Woodman’s of Essex to your party, wedding, or other special event. Our clambake experts come right to your venue, where they cook up an entire traditional New England clambake right on site – just like Chubby used to make.

Now imagine all of that cooked from scratch in just over an hour, at any of the following North Shore event venues, or right in your own backyard. Woodman’s makes hosting a special event easy and stress-free, with North Shore catering that comes to you with all of the authentic flavors of Woodman’s.
