When the Grid Goes Down

Salt Wind Catering provides emergency catering and welfare support across Cornwall and Devon. We work in the hardest conditions — severe weather, power outages, and large-scale infrastructure failures. No mains power or water access required.

Completely Off-Grid

No mains power, no water connection, no building access required. Zero reliance on local infrastructure.

Zero External Power Required

We operate entirely off-grid using our own independent power and fuel systems.

Rapid Deployment Infrastructure

We establish welfare hubs quickly in car parks, roadside access points, or public spaces without needing building access.

Independent Water Supply

We manage our own potable water requirements for food and drink preparation.

Mobile Gazebo Hubs

Heavy-duty gazebo setups provide a fast, low-impact footprint in even the most remote or constrained locations.

More Than a Hot Meal

A clear, visible welfare point gives structure and reassurance during an incident — for crews and affected residents alike.

Hot Provisions

Rapid delivery of hot food and drinks to combat exposure.

Ready-to-Serve

High-energy options designed for immediate consumption by residents and frontline crews.

Scalable Support

Service levels can be scaled up or down instantly as the incident evolves.

Site Management

Maintaining order, clarity, and accessibility at the welfare hub to reduce pressure on emergency services.

Satellite Connectivity

In a major incident, local mobile and fibre networks often go down alongside the power grid. Where connectivity matters, we have a solution.

Starlink Satellite Internet

Where required, our hubs can provide public Wi-Fi. Supports basic communication, access to emergency information, and on-site coordination when local networks are down.
