Wedding Surcharge

No kitchen. No problem.

Cornwall has some brilliant wedding venues, clifftop meadows, coastal barns, beach coves, private outdoor spaces. Most of them have no commercial kitchen. That is exactly where we operate best.

Our live-cook services need nothing from your venue. We show up with our own equipment, fuel and serving setup, cook on site, feed your guests, and pack down when we are done. Your venue supplies nothing. We bring our own power, water and waste containment.

Same prices for beach venues as for any other event. Same menus. No wedding surcharge. Our meat comes from a local Cornish butcher. Same supplier since we started.

We do not do silver service or waiting staff. We cook good food at your outdoor venue and leave the setting to do the rest.

What works best at an outdoor wedding

Hog Roast & Charcoal BBQ

Live cooking over charcoal or wood, at your venue. We bring our own rig, fuel and gazebo. The smell alone draws a crowd. It becomes the centrepiece without you having to do anything.

“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!”

Common questions

Can you cater at beach venues with no kitchen facilities?
Yes. We are fully self-contained. Hog roasts, BBQs and giant pan all need no venue kitchen, no power and no water. Everything comes in one vehicle.
What catering works best for a beach or outdoor wedding?
Hog roast and charcoal BBQ. The BBQ is cooked live at your venue and the hog roast is carved there, so guests can see and smell the food, which is half the point. Cold buffets also work well outdoors and need nothing from your venue.
What happens if it rains?
We bring gazebos. We cook outdoors in all weather. If your venue has indoor space we can set up there instead. Buffets are delivered ready to serve, so rain makes no difference at all.
Do you charge more for beach or coastal venue weddings?
No. Same prices everywhere across Cornwall and Plymouth, a clifftop or beachside venue is priced exactly like any other. The quote you agree is the quote you pay.
Do you provide waiting staff for outdoor weddings?
No. Cook team on-site for live cooking, and guests help themselves. No silver service, no waiting staff, no front-of-house. Cutting service staff is how we keep the per-head price at £9.00 and not £24.
How far ahead should I book for a beach wedding?
Four to eight weeks is fine for most weddings. July and August beach dates go fast, the sooner you book, the better. A 30% deposit holds your date.
What coastal and beach wedding venues do you cover?
Cornwall and Plymouth from Redruth. We regularly cook at Polzeath, Carbis Bay, Porthcurno, Watergate Bay, Fistral and plenty of private clifftop and outdoor spaces. Drop us a message and we will confirm.

Vegan, vegetarian & gluten-free options available on request: info@saltwind.catering

For severe nut, peanut, coeliac or sesame allergies we cannot guarantee a completely trace-free environment, so please tell us at enquiry stage.
