B & M Clambake & Pig Roast B&M has been catering Weddings, Clambakes, Pig Roasts, Barbecues and Bar Services for more than thirty five years. We also offer more traditional luncheon and dinner menus that can be delivered or picked up at our commissary in Pawtucket, RI. If you are interested in School meal services, Day Care or Senior Meals, we offer these as well. Our latest offering is Curbside Catering you can take out, ordered on-line, and perfect for more intimate gatherings. Depending on your location or order size, we also offer prepared meal delivery service in the local area.
Services
Brothers Brian and Mickey Doherty began doing Clambakes for friends and neighbors on Boston's South Shore over thirty years ago. Their reputation for off the dock seafood, fresh local produce and attention to detail quickly spread until the demand convinced them to quit their day jobs. They expanded their menu to include pig roasts, luaus, barbecues and bar services and B&M Catering was born.
Feel free to mix and match to come up with ideas of your own, and we will be happy to put together a custom proposal. Typically, our crews arrive 3 hours before serve time, (6 hours for Pig Roasts) and serve (buffet style) for up to 3 hours. The food is cooked on site and our packages include disposable paper goods, condiments, covered/skirted buffet tables, trash cans and trash removal.
Some of the items in our Pick Up & Delivery section may be purchased by the meal and others as a la carte. Our menus range from good old fashioned home-cooked prepared meals to a la carte offerings of pans and platters. Food options may be picked up hot or cold at our kitchens in Pawtucket, RI, or delivered to your door within an hour's drive of our commissary.
Whether you're looking for a formal sitdown dinner with linens, fine china and glassware, or a casual feast with a more laidback atmosphere, B&M can help. From Classic Clambakes to our elaborate This Ain't Yo Mama's Traditional Wedding Menu to simple Barbecues, Brian and Mickey will help you make your wedding the memorable day it should be.

I hired B&M for my recent backyard wedding reception. They provided a full buffet with items like Steak Tips, Shrimp Skewers, Mac & Cheese and Cornbread to name a few, the tastiest appetizers and bar services. B&M cooked all of the food on site to ensure maximum freshness. Guests raved about the food! The best part is they take all of the trash at the end of the night and leave you with all of the leftovers. We had enough food to eat for a week! Would definitely use again, great service, reasonable prices and friendly staff members!

I had the pleasure of being able to enjoy B&M's food at a wedding this past Saturday. Everything was delicious. My favorites being the Swedish meatballs and mini pulled pork taco appetizers. The dinner buffet was quite impressive and the corn bread and steak tips were phenomenal! The staff was wonderful. A few of us were working in the kitchen at the start of cocktail hour to finish the wedding preparations and someone brought in a tray of appetizers specifically for us so we wouldn't miss out! It was greatly appreciated! All around an excellent job!

Food isn't that great and really not that healthy chicken patty never fully cooked food doesn't have no type of seasoning or taste and I just wish they had a better menu for my kids enjoy

I work at a day care in Rhode Island and we cater our students lunch from this catering company. the food that is served to the children from this catering company is absolutely inexcusable. the menu we get is usually wrong to some degree AND the food itself is in no way appropriate for the children that we serve. Don't even get me started on the way the catering company GIVES us the food.

It looks NOTHING like what the menu says it is. it's usually mushed up as if it were out in a blender beforehand and just an absolute mess. This catering company needs to reevaluate the way it serves their food to schools, considering they have a shocking 4.9 out of 5 star average on Google. fix your catering to schools IMMEDIATELY

I used B&M to cater my wedding. They were very responsive and helpful. The food was amazing and I would highly recommend you use them to cater your events.

We used B&M to cater our wedding in Wareham at the Box Mill Hall--alcohol, linens, set up, appetizers, and dessert! We wanted to have Brazilian food as the main meal--and they worked seemlessly with our Brazilian caterer. The appetizers and dessert were delicious. The staff was attentive, hard working and professional! And Tim made all the planning so easy and offered a fair price, even with the uniqueness of our situation! So grateful and would give 6 stars if I could!

B&M catered our daughter's wedding reception. Every aspect of dealing with them was fantastic. Tim gave us excellent advice and was always pleasantly patient with our considerable amount of questions throughout the planning stage. Valerie and crew were incredible providing first-class service from setting up table linens, serving food and drinks, and the cleanup process including packaging leftovers for our future use.

Our guests were extremely complimentary of the quality of the food. Everything was delicious: appetizers, entrees, desserts and the "best coffee ever". We highly recommend B&M Catering for anyone who wants outstanding service and tremendously tasty food for their event at very reasonable prices.

We hired B&M for our wedding after my brother hired them and they were incredible both times! Tim was so easy and enjoyable to work with, the food was excellent and the B&M team made our wedding so special. People are still talking about how delicious the food was and how professional the staff was. I'd hire B&M again in a heartbeat!

We used B & M Catering for my daughter's wedding this past weekend at my home in Charlestown. The food was amazing! It was plentiful, but more importantly, my guests said that the food was delicious! From the beginning, Susan and her team worked to make the dinner special. I ordered the Ocean State Clambake, added some stuffies, clam cakes, and more.

Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection. The steaks were equally good. Honestly, this caterer was great from the first phone conversation that I had with them over a year ago right to the wedding day. They wrapped all of the extra food for us too. I cannot say enough great things about my experience with B & M!

We used B & M Catering for a wedding this past weekend on the beach. This wedding was very last minute and we only gave them about three weeks notice. From the very begging this entire team was exceptional. We did a custom stations menu and the food arrived hot, on time and was amazing. The portions were very generous and everything went exactly as planned. I cannot say enough about this catering team. The are exceptional!

Terrible. Shellfish was left in the sun, chicken kabobs way overdone. Would never choose this caterer.

We aquired B&M Catering's service for our wedding last October and guests are still raving about it! Their food was absolutely delicious, staff was emmensely helpful and kind, and the price was right! We enjoyed passed horderves and a buffet-style surf & turf dinner with sides and salad for less than what it would cost just about anywhere else. They were also very responsive with my many questions and were patient with me as I planned my wedding from 2,500 miles away (we're in Montana). I am forever grateful for their professionalism and dedication.

Easy online ordering for clambake to go, picked up in Pawtucket and got some cooking tips (first timer). The gentleman who gave me my order seemed as excited as I was about my meal to come! The birthday meal came out perfect and my wife was very happy. Ton of food, great value.

WOW! Tried the personal clam boil and it was FANTASTIC! First it's packed in a RE-usable pot which I loved! The meal consisted of steamers, mussels, potatoes and chorizo along with sweet tender corn and a lobster! Huge winner! Add the tasty crunchy coleslaw and the moist corn bread and YOU my friends have a party! Big winner. You will not be disappointed. And it's all done pickup style at their building. Love it.

I wish there were more stars, I would rate B&M higher! I hired B&M catering for my friends 40th birthday party and I could not have been happier with the food or the service. Stephanie was great to work with to plan the event. She assured me I would feel like a guest at my own party and she was 100% right! She did not try to upsell me at all, she actually took down the number of apps I ordered and we had the perfect amount. Jason and Ally (on-site crew for the day) were so fantastic and took care of everything.

They showed up early, were there throughout the event and made sure everything was all set/cleaned up before they left. They were available if we needed anything all day! Everyone at the party raved about the food and the service. We did the New England Lobster bake and while it was a little expensive it was totally worth it. It was an experience for everyone at the party!

B & M Catered our backyard wedding and it was amazing! Food and service was fantastic, even guests kept telling me afterwards how great the food was! We did a custom menu of BBQ Steak Tips and Salmon which worked out perfectly. They even accommodated separate plates for allergies and vegan. Day-of service was also spot-on. Everything was on-time, delicious, and went so smoothly. Tim even came over to our table as soon as food was served to make us a plate of everything we wanted. Bride and Groom were top of mind all night and I cannot say enough great things about them. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an on-site cooking and serving vendor. Thanks B & M for helping to make my dream day perfect!

We had a wonderful experience with B & M Catering company, from the initial food tasting to communication during planning to the event itself. We received so many compliments on the food, which was delicious and plentiful. If I ever get remarried I'll use them again!;

We chose B&M to cater our August wedding and were absolutely thrilled with the results! From the initial tasting to final cleanup, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The selection of menu options is vast and flexible. The food is perfectly delicious and quantities generous. Any leftovers are boxed up for you to take home. As we finished our photo shoot during the cocktail hour, we were amazed to see the B&M staff folding up chairs and taking down decorations from our ceremony site - completely unasked! We could not recommend them more highly for any occasion.

I got married this past Saturday and B&M catered the wedding. All everyone had to say every time I went over to a table was how fantastic the food was and I have to say I agree 100%! The staff was wonderful and everything was delicious. We did the stations menu and there was just so much food to choose from. Everyone was happy and there was an option for everyone. Tons of food was left over and they packed it all up and gave us the leftovers. I absolutely recommend B&M catering as they were very easy to work with and I was so satisfied with their service!

I regret hiring B&M and don't recommend them, especially for anyone's wedding. They sent very few workers to set up furniture and cook for a 90 person event. This caused us to ask guests and extra workers from the venue to help setup for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Because they sent out few workers, the cocktail hour food came out late.

For the dinner buffet, it took a long time for the last table to be called to line up- I felt so bad for our hungry guests. To be fair, the food was good and our guests said they enjoyed it. In the end, I didn't get to take the leftovers home. They admitted to dropping the ball but why would you send so few workers in the first place? After I spoke with them they offered a 1% refund and a meal for two for the trays of food we didn't get to take home.

From the tasting to the quick responses to questions beforehand, I was lead to believe things from their part would go smoothly and we'd have a better experience overall. I had higher expectations from the great reviews but they placed very little importance to our wedding.

They catered my huge wedding in Newport RI and did over the top phenomenal job! I can't thank them enough! I had a few last minute glitches with cancellations and they handled it amazingly well and packaged the food wonderfully for me at the end of the night. I'm so happy to have their amazing food for the next month (I froze it!) I felt so bad that my guest cancelled and weren't able to enjoy their amazing food that night but they totally missed out because it was some of the best steak chicken potatoes and mussels I have ever enjoyed!

I cannot believed it was cooked it bulk! Absolutely incredible service they were so kind and thoughtful! They even set up my tables for my wedding including my centerpieces! It was all so beautiful I couldn't thank them enough. The bartenders they provided were so down to earth and respectful I will keep them in mind if I ever throw and large event or family gathering again they are some of the best people I have ever met! Please keep this company going they truly deserve your business and hope they stay around for a very long time!

We used B&M for a family reunion in Rhode Island and they were outstanding. Several months in advance I started getting prices on different menu options & as the RSVP's started rolling in I would consistently e-mail at least once a week to make changes & get new rates. It seems like they definitely have a teamwork flow set up as my e-mail responses were by a variety of people & they were all very helpful.

They arrived on site promptly in the AM to start setting up & cooked on site, They served, cleaned up & provided us with 'to go' containers for our leftovers. Most important, the food was fabulous!

Can there be anything better than a clambake right in your own backyard? B&M Clambakes shows up with a fun, enthusiastic crew ready to provide delicious food. No digging holes for this clambake - they bring all their own supplies to steam, barbecue, roast and serve. Highly recommend!
