Adding flavour to your wedding, corporate event or private party.

Oysters have a wonderful taste and numerous health benefits. We know our oysters have some special qualities and have create a package that reflects this.

Oyster Boys Experience

Our original concept is still our most popular. Wearing kilts, our Oyster Boys serve our fine fare straight from traditional wicker baskets, opening on demand.

This mobility not only allows us to engage and enthuse our customers about our produce but also makes us very flexible in the way we work. We add a wonderful atmosphere and entertainment to any party. Our youthful exuberance adds excitement while the oysters speak for themselves.


Oyster Boys 3 oy baskets
The Farm

The family farm located in the mouth of Loch Creran, on Scotland’s West coast, has over 15 years experience in the oyster business, and over 30 in the aquaculture industry.

This picturesque loch, north of Oban, sits in the heart of Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Kidnapped’ country. These rich waters have a great mixture of salt and fresh water, combining to create the perfect habitat for seafood.

The site has been run by Roger and Judy Thwaites for over 30 years, farming salmon, mussels and oysters.

Traditional wicker baskets

Still a firm favorite, our wandering Oyster Boys give a fun and exciting twist on Scottish flare.

Although we predominantly wear our tartan kilts we are open to suggestions on presentation, previously being asked to wear modern kilts, a tux, as well as dressing as Pearly Kings.

Alternative canapés

As an alternative or compliment to canapés our wandering baskets offer a fantastic edge to any event. We’ve now added another dimension to excite your taste buds:

Oy Girls – our glamorous girls will bring an air of elegance and a little sex appeal to your oyster eating experience

Ice Basket – designed by The Ice Box, this is a great way to bring a sleek side to your event, creating a stylish and clean-cut image.

Champagne & Oysters – this time-aged partnership has never been so sexy. Combing our Oyster Boys with mini bottles of ice-cold champagne and our own fresh oysters, we’ve truly found heaven.

Seafood Bars

Having farmed salmon, mussels and oysters for the last 30 years, we have made several lasting contacts in the aquaculture industry. Taking advantage of our close relationships with our suppliers, we strive to maintain our ethics, bringing the consumer closer to the farmer and only serving the highest quality of seafood.

Bespoke design and the personal touch are at the heart of our ethos. We want to bring the delicious tastes of the finest Scottish seafood to you, the way you want it. We allow you to choose what goes on the plate and how much. We want to hear your needs and will produce a display that fulfils these and more.

Complete the package

We’re all about building the perfect package using specialists.

Check out how you can add that extra touch of magic by incorporating catering by our  Gastronomy Guys or Mussel Men set up for outdoor events.


What they say...

“The Oyster Boys were recommended to me by Sky’s Group Director of Communications and we were certainly not disappointed! The boys went down a storm at the recent event we organised for Sky’s Top 400 senior managers and I will most definitely use them again. The oysters were divine and the boys blended into the event perfectly.”

Nathan Homan
Creative Director, Rouge Events

“It was an absolute pleasure working with you on the Sky event, not only were your oysters awesome but you look great and had a great interaction with the guests. Everyone seemed to graduate towards you whenever you were in the room!”

Lucy Thompson
General Manager, Fifteen Events

“With their limitless enthusiasm and fun, friendly attitude The Oyster Boys were a delight to work with. They have a great product and added something really special to our event: a great talking point. Incidentally, the oysters tasted amazing!”

Stephanie Laing

“The only thing more refreshing and nourishing than the oysters themselves is the oyster boys themselves.”
