Our Story

Good Food, Honestly Done

We started Salt Wind Catering in Redruth with one idea: cook proper food and turn up when you say you will. That still covers it. We do film and TV sets, coastal weddings, corporate lunches and everything in between — same food, same standards, no shortcuts.

Our meat comes from RJ Trevarthen in Penryn, our bread from Prima Bakeries in Scorrier. Across buffets, hog roasts, charcoal BBQs and giant pan catering, we source locally where we can and prepare everything fresh — see how we source and what we don't hide.

The NHS and National Grid use us for emergency welfare feeding because we actually show up and get on with it. No layers, no surprises. The person who answers the phone is the person at your event.

How We Work

The same team picks up the phone and cooks the food

Family-run — no agency staff, no handoffs. The person you speak to is the person at your event.

Salt Wind Catering outdoor event setup in Cornwall

Salt Wind Catering

Started in Redruth. Still family-run.

Salt Wind Catering started from a single belief: food at events should be as good as food at home. A Cornish cooking tradition — local suppliers, fresh preparation, real equipment on-site — shaped a style that's stayed with the business from day one. 602+ events across Cornwall and Devon — NHS trusts, National Grid, BBC and ZDF productions, and hundreds of private clients. Every event is still run the same way: small team, on-site, cooking it themselves.

Why Salt Wind Catering

Why People Come Back

5-Star Food Hygiene

5-star rating from the Food Standards Agency, NCASS accredited, FSB member. The paperwork is in order so you don't have to worry about it.

No Venue Kitchen Needed

Fields, beaches, marquees, car parks — we arrive with our own power, water and kit. If there's space to park a van, we can cater there.

Nobody Leaves Hungry

We portion generously. No sad trays of three sausage rolls for forty people. It's the thing clients mention most in their reviews — and we take that seriously.

Short Notice? Fine.

We deploy within days — sometimes hours. Our emergency welfare work with National Grid and film and TV catering (see the productions we've catered) means last-minute is our normal, not our problem.
