Services
Since 1991 Charleston Bay Gourmet has fulfilled Charleston event catering needs with innovative culinary experiences. Founded by the late John G. Thornhill and partners including the current owner Irving Peters, they have blended their native Lowcountry roots with years of culinary expertise resulting in an upscale Lowcountry flavor that will give your event the one ingredient it needs to make it extraordinary. Our goal is to provide you with an upscale Lowcountry menu that turns the ordinary into an extraordinary culinary experience.
Pricing for all events is based on menu items as well as number of guests, venue, times, and staffing requirements. We do not list prices on our menu because each party is unique and there are many factors that are involved in putting together a complete proposal with pricing. Charleston Bay Gourmet does not handle rental items.
We serve local clusters from Bulls Bay in McClellanville, South Carolina for all oyster roasts unless they are unavailable, or customers request something different. Our standard recommendation for the quantity of bushels to purchase for a roast based on a 10:1 ratio (people to bushels) and if you think that it is going to be a heavy oyster eating crowd we suggest using an 8:1 ratio.

Charleston Bay Gourmet catered my son's rehearsal dinner. We could not have had a better experience. We did an oyster roast and low country boil. Everything was delicious and our guests raved about the food. The servers and cooker were very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Charleston Bay Gourmet for any of your catering needs.

Amazing! The food was delicious and pricing is incredibly fair. The day of catering team Melanie and Peter were professional, great with guests and adapted quickly to weather changes. The guests had no clue set up was not the original plan. I can't thank you all enough! Guest food faves include steamed oysters, chicken bog and squash casserole and I personally love the set up of the vegetables. They had so much flavor and added beautiful color to the Lowcountry themed buffet. Thank you again! 10 stars!

Gotta give it to John G and his staff. What a great experience. We had a small group of 25 visiting IOP and wanted to cater a low country boil at the house. Anne was easy to work with and helped make all of the arrangements. John G was on time, set up the cooking station and the serving station. We could not have ask for a better presentation and personality combined. Everything was fantastic and everyone loved the meal. I highly recommend if anyone is looking for catering services or just a break from the kitchen.

Charleston Bay Gourmet was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Anne did a terrific job of handling all the logistics, even when we made some last minute changes. The food - oyster roast and BBQ - was great as well. Ours was a small event, under 15 people, but they handled it like we were important clients. Would definitely recommend!

I have used Charleston Bay Gourmet both personally and in business. I have always been pleased by the quality of food that they provide as well as the attentive service the day of the event. They have done several types of events for me everything from barbecue to oyster roasts. I would definitely recommend them very highly

We ordered a smoked salmon for a couples wedding shower. We of course served other foods but the Salmon was by far the STAR! It was so good. I took Charleston Bay Gourmet my own tray and they did the salmon on it. They also provided the diced red onion, cream cheese and capers. Fabulous bang for your dollar! We have ordered before and will certainly order again. Thank you!
