We bring the roast to you
you host, we roast!
Relax, hang out with your friends, and let us handle your authentic oyster roast experience.
Never eat a cold oyster!
We cook your oysters on our custom built roasting table right in front of you and your guests.
Plenty of room for everyone to gather round and enjoy each other's company while shucking freshly roasted oysters that stay nice and warm on the solid steel plate. Carolina oysters are the best around, full of that juicy, briny goodness that you and your friends will love!
We also provide the unique experience of pine rosin cooked potatoes.
In an almost forgotten, but a long held coastal Carolina tradition, white and sweet potatoes are cooked in a steel kettle full of boiling pine rosin we harvested ourselves, from the Waccamaw River, which is a byproduct of the old Naval Stores industry and their many uses of pine tar.
May sound a little strange at first, but once you try these perfectly cooked potatoes for yourself, you'll know why it's a must have at any real Southern oyster roast!

Happy Roasting Memories
Meet Your Roast Master
HI, I'm Richard Phillips.
Memorial Day to Labor you'll find me on the water at my "day job" as a parasail boat captain, but I live for the months with "Rs" in them because that means it oyster season!
For over 15 years I was hosting private oyster roasts for my family and friends in my back yard, and not to brag but, everybody always wanted to be invited.
Why? Because nothing beats being outside on a cool evening, hanging out with friends, enjoying a fire, and eating freshly roasted oysters right off the steel plate!
People started asking me to do roasts for them at their homes, and soon the idea for the Traveling Oyster Co was born.
I bring everything you need to make a memorable oyster roast at your home or business.
I would love to bring this authentic southern coastal Carolina experience to your next get together.
Contact me below and let's get roasting!
