Oyster Roasts are a great way to socialize with your guests while enjoying freshly steamed South Carolina oysters. Enjoy this uniquely Low Country tradition with friends, family, or coworkers. We cater company events, anniversaries, birthdays, family reunions, and more!
Coastal Caterers does the work from setup to cleanup. We provide everything you need for a traditional roast. South Carolina "cluster oysters" are some of the best oysters you will ever try, which is why we serve these delicious locally harvested oysters at our events.
Cluster oysters grow wild in the salt marsh, which is why they are so flavorful! Most farm-raised oysters are grown in less salty waters. Clusters are delicious right out of the shell or with a little Cocktail or Hot Sauce.
With over two decades of catering experience, Coastal Caterers knows how to do it right! Delicious seafood, friendly customer service, and affordable prices are our service's hallmarks! Contact us for your Charleston, SC, oyster roast.
Please Note: Starting in the 2025/26 Oyster Season, Our Maximum Group Size For Oyster Roast Catering Will Be 50 people. We would be glad to provide a reference for large groups.
Our oyster roasts are exclusively available from October to April, during the local harvesting season.
*Please Note: We do not cater ticketed all-you-can-eat style events.

When is the oyster season in South Carolina? Before planning your event, you must ensure that the season is open for harvesting oysters. Harvesting season in Charleston, and all of South Carolina, is mainly during the months that contain the letter "R." This means that harvesting season will usually start in late September or early October and run through the end of April. Oysters reproduce over the Summer months and are not allowed to be harvested at that time.
Low Country Boil catering is available throughout the year. Oyster Roast catering is seasonal. October through April.
