Catering

Planning a wedding? We’ll be there with Big Red! Rehearsal dinner? Yes, sir, you bet. Is your event more of an office party? We love offices! Bar Mitzvah? Oh yes, it’s been done. From film shoots to birthday parties and every event in between, the Red Hook Lobster Pound has got you covered.

Make your special event lobstericious with our signature artisanal lobster rolls, homemade salads, and affable party professionals.

We offer catering a number of ways including…

• Catering from our food truck. We can pull up just about anywhere.
• On site preparation in any venue. All we need is a single electrical outlet and some table space.
• Picnic style delivery or pick-up: served fully assembled or do-it-yourself.

We’re able to work with most dietary restrictions including vegetarians, gluten-free folks, and the ever discerning palates of children. We’re also able to offer eco-friendly, 100% compostable dining ware for the earth conscious among us. Ask us about it!

Hire big red, the lobster pound food truck

Big Red can pull up just about anywhere. We’ve driven into State Parks, into folk’s back yards, curbside at marketing events, and directly into warehouse art exhibits. If you’ve got a hankering for lobster, we’ll bring it straight to you. From expo convention center lunches to private birthday parties, everyone’s excited to see the lobster pound truck “roll” up.

Email us at cater@redhooklobster.com to learn more about hiring the truck. Or call at 718.858.7650 and we’ll return your call as soon as possible.

We offer special rates for our friends at Schreiner Studios, and other film shoot and wrap party events. We’re a 24 hour operation, and for film shoots, we can often get an event together in a few hours. Please get in touch.

Indoor catering

Think our truck is the whole show? Think again! We can cater indoors, or under a tent, with ease! We’ve set up on bars, in back yards, and anywhere with a power outlet and some table space. We’ll send a few of our party lobsterettes into your space with hot plates, coolers full of lobster salad, and enough butter to make you blush. They’ll butter and grill buns, and prepare rolls on site.

If you’d like to learn more about Red Hook Lobster Pound indoor catering, email us at cater@redhooklobster.com. Or call at 718.858.7650 and we’ll return your call as soon as possible. Minimum booking rates for indoor catering are similar to our minimum truck rates.

Do it yourself lobster roll kit

One of our most popular catering options, this DIY kit comes with everything you’ll need (except butter) to make our world famous lobster rolls in your own kitchen. The kit includes enough lobster salad for your party, the appropriate amount of JJ Nissen Buns, shredded lettuce, chopped scallions, paprika in a disposable shaker, and wet naps to clean up afterwards; and if you like a touch of authentic service, we can include red checked disposable boats lined with Lobster Pound red waxed paper – one for each roll.

We’ll box up your kit in an easy to carry cardboard box – usually something reused, but clean and cute. We love to recycle! Delivery is a possibility, but not a guarantee, and must be requested at least 72 hours in advance. Otherwise, you can pick up your order at the Lobster Pound in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Sorry, we are not currently able to ship kits out of the NYC area.

DIY Kit Prices, per head, at one roll per person. For different head counts, or questions about the kit, give us a call! 718.858.7650. 

• DIY Kit for 4: $65
• DIY Kit for 10: $175
• DIY Kit for 25: $375
