Your Guide to Event Catering in Cornwall

Vegan & Plant-Based Event Catering Across Cornwall Every event has vegan guests now. Whether it's two people at a birthday, half the team at a corporate lunch, or an entire wedding party — plant-based catering isn't niche anymore. It's expected. The problem is how most caterers handle it. A sad side salad. A plate of hummus and carrot sticks while everyone else eats properly. A token veggie option that's clearly been thrown together as an afterthought. That's not catering — t

When the red weather warnings for Storm Goretti  were issued, emergency plans across Cornwall were pushed from theory into a brutal reality.

There's a moment at every Salt Wind giant pan event that I live for. The burners roar to life. The oil shimmers. And then—that first sizzle as ingredients hit the pan. Suddenly, every head turns. Conversations pause. People start drifting over, drawn by the sound, the smell, and the sheer spectacle of watching dinner come together right in front of them.
