Baby Shower Catering in Cornwall — Beautiful Food Without the Fuss

A baby shower should be about celebrating the mum-to-be, not panicking about food. At Salt Wind Catering we deliver beautifully presented baby shower food across Cornwall, fully prepped, ready to set out, with no cooking required at the venue.

What's on a Baby Shower Spread?

Most baby showers we cater fall into one of two camps. The first is afternoon tea style — finger sandwiches on fresh bread, fruit scones with clotted cream and jam, mini cakes, fruit platters, and a sweet platter as a centrepiece. It photographs beautifully and works just as well in a living room as a marquee.

The second is a relaxed grazing spread — sharing platters with charcuterie, cheeses, savoury bites and dips, paired with sandwich platters and a sweet platter for dessert. Pick one or mix both. We'll suggest the right balance for the number of guests and the time of day.

How Many Guests and How Much Food?

Baby showers tend to sit between 12 and 30 guests. Our delivered minimum is 20 portions, but we can scale platter quantities to suit smaller groups by topping up with extra sweet or fruit platters.

For afternoon tea, plan on around four to five sandwich fingers per person, plus one scone, one piece of cake, and some fruit. For a buffet-style spread, allow five to six savoury items per person plus dessert. Better to have a small amount left over than have a guest go hungry.

Pricing Tiers for Baby Showers

Afternoon tea spreads typically run from around twelve to eighteen pounds per head depending on how many tiers and add-ons you go for. Sharing platter and sandwich platter buffets start from around eight pounds per head. Add a sweet platter centrepiece or a celebration cake and you're still well inside most baby shower budgets. See our pricing guide for the full breakdown. We quote based on your guest count and menu picks — no hidden delivery fees inside our normal delivery zone.

Logistics — Delivery and Setup

We deliver across Cornwall, from Truro and Helston to Falmouth, Newquay and Camborne. Everything arrives plated on serving boards, covered, labelled, and ready to set out on the table. You don't need a kitchen, a fridge, or any prep space at the property — a flat surface and a few minutes is all it takes.

Drinks are not something we provide — we're a food-only caterer. Most hosts pick up their own prosecco, soft drinks and elderflower for the mum-to-be, which keeps the budget under control. Our vegetarian and vegan options and low-gluten platters are slotted in as standard. Tell us about any dietary needs when you book and we'll label clearly.

Baby Shower Catering FAQ

Can you deliver to a home address?

Yes — most baby showers happen at home and we deliver direct to your door across Cornwall.

How much notice do you need?

Two to three weeks is comfortable for buffet platters and afternoon tea. We sometimes have shorter notice slots available — ask.

Do you handle allergies?

Allergen information is available on request. For severe nut or coeliac allergies, we need to flag that our kitchen handles both nuts and gluten, so trace cross-contamination can't be ruled out.

Are the platters presented well enough for photos?

Yes. Baby showers get photographed a lot and our platters are built to look as good as they taste. Boards, garnishes and styling are part of the job.
