Our Story

Good Food, Honestly Done

We started Salt Wind 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.

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.

Who We Are

Meet the Team

Salt Wind is family-run. Every event is overseen by the people who built this business — not passed off to agency staff. The team you speak to is the team that cooks your food.

C

Chef Jago

Modern Artisan

Kitchen

"New Cornish. Street-smart. Always seasonal."

Jago brings a modern eye to Cornish produce — building boards and platters that look as good as they taste. His thing is pairing the unexpected: local cheddar with Cornish honey, cured meats with foraged garnishes. Nothing fussy. Nothing forgettable.

C

Chef Lowen

Coastal Soul

Kitchen

"Joyful. Communal. Built around the table."

Lowen (Cornish for 'joyful') believes food is at its best when it's shared. Seafood pulled from Cornish waters, whole hog roasts over live fire, big spreads for groups of all sizes — Lowen's cooking is warm, generous, and made for gathering.

C

Chef Kitto

Old School Pro

Kitchen

"Every cut traced. Every standard met. No exceptions."

Kitto is the elder statesman of the Salt Wind kitchen. He knows every farmer and producer by name, demands complete traceability, and runs the highest food hygiene standards as a matter of personal pride. When the event matters most, Kitto is on it.

S

Senara

Pastry & Sweet Specialist

Kitchen

"From cream teas to celebration cakes — made by hand."

Senara runs the sweet side of the kitchen. Cream teas, dessert grazing boards, birthday cakes, and afternoon tea spreads are her domain. She sources Cornish clotted cream, works with local honey producers, and never uses a packet mix.

E

Elowen

Recipe Developer & Food Writer

Kitchen

"Rooted in Cornwall. Written for your kitchen."

Elowen (Cornish for 'elm tree') grew up in a fishing village near Falmouth and learned to cook from her grandmother's handwritten recipe cards. She develops and writes all the Cornish recipes for Salt Wind Catering — always seasonally driven, always achievable at home. If a recipe calls for a rare ingredient, Elowen rewrites it.

M

Morwenna

Senior Event Coordinator

Events

"The one who makes the plan — and the backup plan."

Morwenna has coordinated hundreds of events across Cornwall and Devon. From 20-person birthday buffets to 300-guest corporate dinners, she's the person who makes sure every detail is covered before the team arrives. Meticulous, calm, and never caught off-guard.

D

Demelza

Weddings & Private Events

Events

"Specialising in the moments that matter most."

Demelza focuses exclusively on weddings and large private events. She works closely with couples from first enquiry to service — handling tastings, menu builds, dietary requirements, and day-of logistics. Her calm on the day is her superpower.

T

Tristan

Head of Logistics & Delivery

Logistics

"On time, every time. Anywhere in Cornwall."

Tristan runs the logistics operation — route planning, equipment, cold-chain management, and delivery across the full Cornwall and Devon service area. He knows every back road from Bude to the Lizard, and he's never missed a delivery window.

J

Jenna

Customer Service & Bookings

Front of House

"First call to final confirmation — she's got it."

Jenna is the first voice you hear when you call Salt Wind. She handles all initial enquiries, quote requests, and booking confirmations. Fast, friendly, and knows the menus inside out — so she can answer most questions without putting you on hold.

Want to know who will be at your event? Get in touch and we'll tell you.

Why Salt Wind

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.

What We Do

Our Services

Event Buffets

Cold, fork and hot buffets for 20 to 500. Made to order, delivered to your venue or served by our team.

In Their Own Words

"Catered for our wedding and would highly recommend. Amazing service and really good pricing considering the amount and quality of the food. We catered for 40 guests and there was still way more than enough."
