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 a Cornish butcher and our bread from a Cornish bakery, both within 10 miles of our kitchen. 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, that’s Mark Matthews, and you can find him on LinkedIn.

How We Work

A clear plan from first enquiry to service

Family-run, with a clear brief, written menu and logistics handover for every event. The team delivering your food has the same plan you approved.

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. 700+ events across Cornwall and Devon: NHS trusts, National Grid, BBC and ZDF productions, and hundreds of private clients. Every event follows the same disciplined process: an agreed brief, a practical service plan and food prepared for the occasion.

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.

In their own words

"We booked Salt Wind for our wedding and they genuinely were the most accommodating and responsive suppliers we've ever used. We were blown away by their service. The hog roast was delicious and the pasties and scones in the evening went down a treat. Thank you so much for making our day run smoothly! Would absolutely recommend!"

"Fantastic company. We had a celebration buffet for wedding guests at Manor House in Looe. Great communication from the start and the food went down well! Lots of compliments from guests and there was more than enough to go round. Would 100% use again and can’t recommend enough. Thank you guys!"
