Private Parties & Corporate Events

Holiday parties, company dinners, birthdays, rehearsal dinners and the occasional whole tuna. Bring your crew. We’ll bring the fries.

Events & parties

Your people. Our place. Zero stress.

Sea Salt Fry Co. hosts private parties and corporate events for crews of every size, right here at 231 Post Road in Wells, Maine. Every party gets a menu tailored to your group by Chef Norm, the Bib Gourmand chef who’d much rather feed you than talk about it, plus dedicated service from the first toast to the last fry.

It all starts local: Maine potatoes, Slacktide sea salt, grass-fed beef from Maine family farms, Pineland Farms cheese curds and Maine mussels. And since every fry comes out of a dedicated gluten-free fryer, nobody at your table gets stuck with a sad side salad.

Party food

Pick your bites

Throwing a stand-and-mingle party? This is Chef Norm’s menu for it: platters that hold the room, soup you can drink standing up and hors d’oeuvres that vanish faster than you’d think. Mix and match to fit your crew. It’s all made in-house from the same local stuff we cook with every day.

Pricing depends on headcount and what you pick. Tell us both and we’ll put numbers to it. Menus shift with the seasons and the boats, and gluten-free guests get looked after: just flag them when you book.

Prefer a sit-down dinner? Chef Norm builds those menus to order, and set dinner menus are on the way.

Live-butchery parties

Go Off the Deep End

Want a party people are still talking about on Monday? Chef Norm breaks down a whole animal live, right in front of your crew, and turns it into a parade of stupidly good dishes. It’s giving dinner-and-a-show energy.

Whole Tuna (or halibut when in season)

An entire tuna, broken down live in front of you and served raw, and rawer, cut to order. Sip cocktails, ask questions, lick the plate. We won’t tell.

Whole Pig Party

The ultimate hog roast spectacle. Chef Norm carves up a whole pig on the spot and turns it into a lineup of insane pork dishes. Zero waste, maximum flavor.

Fries come standard. Obviously.

What’s on the table

Built around your crowd

Tailored menus

Chef Norm builds every event menu around your group, pulling from the hits: duck fat poutine, grass-fed smashburgers, moules-frites, hanger steak frites and a mountain of hand-cut fries.

Local, specifically

Maine potatoes, Slacktide sea salt, Pineland Farms cheese curds, North Country bacon and grass-fed beef from Maine family farms. We know where it comes from, and so will you.

Gluten-free, for realGF

A dedicated gluten-free fryer, gluten-free buns and gluten-free tenders mean your celiac guests eat the good stuff too.

The bar

Craft cocktails made with Maine spirits like Cold River potato vodka and Wiggly Bridge bourbon, Maine beer on draft, a curated wine list and zero-proof drinks for the designated drivers.

Party FAQ

Can you handle gluten-free guests?

Absolutely. Every fry comes out of a dedicated gluten-free fryer, smashburgers can go on a gluten-free bun and we make gluten-free chicken tenders. Tell us about celiac guests or allergies when you book and the kitchen will plan around them.

Can we customize the menu?

That’s the whole idea. Every private event menu is tailored to your group, your occasion and your budget.

Do you host corporate and team events?

We do: team dinners, client nights, holiday parties and team building with a side of whole tuna. Email contact@seasaltfryco.com and tell us what you have in mind.

Is the whole tuna really whole?

Yep. Chef Norm breaks down an entire tuna live, in front of your guests, then serves it raw, and rawer, cut to order. Halibut steps in when it’s in season, and the Whole Pig Party does the same for the pork crowd.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can, especially for the holidays. Dates go fast, and the sooner we hear from you, the more options you’ll have.
