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
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.

In Their Own Words
"Just returned from my wifes 50th birthday party and the caterers were superb. Salt Wind Catering provided top quality food and plenty of it the party was for 50 people and we had plenty.

"Saltwind came up to sunny Devon for Jo’s 60th party. Everyone absolutely loved the Hog Roast. We had a party of 55 and we were still finishing off the food at 3am. Mark and the guys were great and worked so hard to keep everyone fed. The crackling was awesome! And we all loved the beef as well! Was everything we wanted and more ! Cheers to Saltwind!"
