Catering in Padstow — Cornwall's Foodie Capital, Properly Fed

Padstow needs no introduction. This fishing harbour on the Camel Estuary has become one of Cornwall's most famous foodie destinations — restaurants lining the quay, the Padstow Christmas Festival drawing thousands each December, and the legendary Obby Oss May Day celebrations that take over the entire town. It's beautiful, it's busy, and it takes its food seriously.

Salt Wind Catering covers Padstow from our base in Redruth — about 40 minutes via the A30 and A389. Whether it's a marquee wedding in the grounds of Prideaux Place, a birthday party in a harbourside cottage, a corporate away day at one of the local hotels, or a wake at St Merryn village hall, we bring fresh, handmade food that holds its own in a town that knows good cooking.

What We Bring to Your Padstow Event

Everything we serve is freshly prepared, homemade, and built around proper Cornish ingredients. We offer Event & Party Buffets, Hog Roast Catering, BBQ Catering, Giant Pan Catering, and Grazing Platters & Boards. Hog roast is particularly suited to Padstow — a whole hog turning on a spit while your guests take in estuary views, sourced from trusted local Cornish farms and cooked on-site.

Padstow Venues We Cover

Prideaux Place is Padstow's crown jewel — a stunning Elizabethan manor house overlooking the harbour, featured in Poldark and one of the West Country's oldest houses still in habitable condition. The Great Chamber seats 60–70 for dinner, and the grounds accommodate marquee receptions for large celebrations. It's a self-catered venue, making outside caterers like us a natural fit.

The Metropole sits above the harbour with views across the Camel Estuary to Rock and Daymer Bay. It's a popular choice for weddings, birthday parties, and corporate events in Padstow. We also deliver to and set up at private homes, holiday cottages, farm venues, village halls, and community centres throughout the Padstow area.

Why Salt Wind?

We're 5-star food hygiene rated, FSB members, and NCASS registered. Everything is made from scratch using locally sourced Cornish produce. In a town that takes its food as seriously as Padstow does, we wouldn't dream of turning up with anything less. Our hog roast and BBQ setups are fully self-contained — we don't need your venue's power, water, or kitchen facilities.
