Our Story

Clam Haven has been a beloved part of Southern New Hampshire for over 60 years, offering fresh seafood, ice cream, and local charm. Founded by Rick Metts, it became a favorite for Derry locals and visitors. In 2020, Lisa DeSisto, a longtime Derry resident and owner of Rig A Tony’s Italian Takeout, took over. Lisa and her team proudly uphold the traditions, serving the same classic dishes and creating a welcoming spot where families can relax and enjoy a great meal.
