How much does wedding catering cost in Cornwall?

Wedding catering is priced from our standard menus with no wedding surcharge — buffets from £7.95 per head, hog roast from £9.15 delivered, BBQ from £9.95 cooked on-site, and live-cooked giant paella pans from £12.25. Same menus and same prices as any other event. As wedding caterers covering the whole of Cornwall and Devon, we have catered 602+ events from intimate 20-guest dinners to festival-scale crowds, with a 5.0★ rating from 57 reviews.

Food your guests will remember.

We cater weddings the same way we cater everything else. Same menus, same prices — and couples keep telling us the food is the best part of the day, so something must be working.

Our meat comes from RJ Trevarthen in Penryn and our bread from Prima Bakeries in Scorrier. Cornish suppliers, from the start.

We do relaxed, feast-style catering: buffets set out for guests to help themselves, and live-cook services like charcoal BBQ and hog roast cooked at your venue. The kind of food people actually want to eat — generous, fresh, properly made.

No silver service or formal table service. If that is what you need, we will point you in the right direction. If you want great food, honest prices and a caterer who turns up and gets on with it — we are your people.

How It Works

Live Cooking On-Site

We set up at your venue and cook right there — hog roast, BBQ, giant pan. Real charcoal or gas, live in front of your guests. We are fully self-contained. No venue kitchen needed.

Hog Roast from £9.15pp deliveredBBQ from £9.95ppGiant Pan from £12.25pp

Drop-and-Go Buffets

We make it fresh, deliver it to your venue and set it up. You and your guests serve yourselves. Cold buffets, hot buffets, afternoon tea, seafood platters — plates and cutlery included.

Your Wedding Day

How the day runs

A typical wedding-day timeline. Exact timings flex to your run-of-show — we agree call times in writing before the day.

  1. Step 01

    Morning

    Delivery & arrival

    Cook team and rig arrive 3–4 hours ahead of service. Hog, BBQ or pan goes on early so the slow-cook is properly done.

  2. Step 02

    Afternoon

    Setup & first service

    Gazebo, carving station and serving line set out. Food ready for the wedding breakfast slot — guests help themselves, the cook team keeps the line stocked and topped up.

  3. Step 03

    Evening

    Late-night add-ons

    Optional Late Night Smokehouse — pulled pork buns, dirty fries, bacon rolls — fires up after the speeches. Usually the most photographed part of the night.

  4. Step 04

    Next morning

    Pack-down & collection

    Our kit, our rubbish — gone. Where the venue allows, we leave equipment overnight and return the next morning to clear, so you’re not packing down a rig at midnight.

Pricing

What does it cost?

No wedding markup, no hidden extras. Every price includes VAT and delivery across Cornwall and Devon.

Wedding catering runs from £7.95 per head for a delivered buffet up to £42.00 per head for our biggest cooked-on-site feast — and the price is the same as it would be on any other date. There is no wedding tier, no wedding surcharge and no premium for saying the word.

The Top of the Range

Our two wedding feast menus

Built for a wedding breakfast rather than a party — cooked on-site by our team, and still on standard pricing.

Signature Wedding BBQ Banquet

£38.25pp on-site

£36.75pp delivered · £3,060 for 80 guests

Ultimate Cornish Land & Sea Feast

£42.00pp on-site

£40.45pp delivered · £3,360 for 80 guests

Both come from our barbecue range, which is where our wedding menus live — nothing on this page carries a wedding premium.

Seven flavours, one price band

Or choose a cuisine instead of a tier

Our World BBQ & Roasts menus all sit within a few pounds of each other, so you pick the food you want rather than the one your budget reaches. Every menu carries vegan options as standard.

  • Low & Slow Brisket BBQ£22.45 delivered · £23.95 on-site
  • Caribbean Jerk BBQ£23.45 delivered · £24.95 on-site
  • Mexican Fire-Grill BBQ£26.95pp · cooked on site
  • Cornish Festive Roast£25.95 delivered · £27.45 on-site
  • Pan-Asian BBQ£27.95pp · cooked on site
  • Tandoori BBQ£28.45pp · cooked on site
  • Greek Spit Roast£29.95pp · cooked on site

The four without a delivered price are cooked in front of your guests because that food does not travel — a spit roast least of all. Those need a minimum of 50 guests. The Cornish Festive Roast is built for winter weddings. See the full World BBQ & Roasts range.

What's Included — And What Isn't

What's included

  • Freshly prepared, homemade food
  • Locally sourced ingredients
  • Cook team on-site for live cooking (confirmed on booking)
  • All equipment, gazebos, disposables
  • Fully self-contained for live cooking — no venue kitchen needed
  • Vegetarian, vegan and dietary options

The Salt Wind Catering Style

  • Relaxed feast-style service — your guests help themselves, no stiff formality
  • Generous sharing platters, not precious plated portions
  • Straightforward event pricing — no inflated 'wedding tax'
  • Fully catered food so you can choose your own bar

What we don't do — so you can plan around it

We are a cook team, not a front-of-house team. That is a deliberate choice and it is why the food is what you are paying for rather than a room full of staff.

  • No waiting or front-of-house staff. Our cook team cooks; your guests help themselves.
  • No silver service or plated meals. We never plate for guests — it is feast-style throughout.
  • No private chef service. We cater events, not in-house dining for a household.
  • No crockery, glassware or linen hire. Disposable plates, cutlery and napkins are included; anything smarter comes from your venue or hire company.
  • No bar, drinks service or corkage. We cater the food so you are free to sort drinks however suits you.
  • No private dining. Sharing platters and live cooking are what we do well.

If you need silver service, a private chef or full front-of-house, we are not the right fit — and we would rather say so now than three emails in.

“We had big pans from salt wind for our wedding and the food was AMAZING. Mark and his team could not have been more helpful throughout the whole process and were a dream to work with. Nothing was ever too much trouble and so many people have said how lovely the food was. I’d book them for another event in a heart beat!”

Kate Sullivan·Giant Pan — Wedding·

“Catered for our wedding and would highly recommend. Amazing service and really good pricing considering the amount and quality of the food. We catered for 40 guests and although we had less turn up there was still way more than 40 people's worth of food. Really good range, plenty of different things for everyone, and they were more than happy to cater for our gluten-free and vegan guests, who told us the food was great”

Michael Gray·Wedding

“Thank you so much for salt wind catering for doing my wedding hog roast food. It was delicious and had a lot of compliments of how lovely and tasty the food was and everyone kept going back for more and there was still loads left over. Will definitely use again and recommend them. Again Thank you for the lovely food❤️”

Laura Sophie Christophers·Wedding Hog Roast

“We recently used Salt Wind Catering for our wedding, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. They provided a delicious summer buffet that our guests are still talking about – everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The team were professional, punctual, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They delivered exactly as promised, arriving on time and ensuring everything ran smoothly. It was also really reassuring to know they were just a phone call away if we had any questions. Overall, we were really happy with the service and would recommend Salt Wind Catering to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality catering. Thank you for helping make our day so special! Ruth and Charlie”

Ruth Rigby·Wedding

“Well what can I say - exceeded all expectations. The food was fabulous quality and there was so much of it. The communication ahead of our wedding was great too. And everyone I met from Salt Wind were so pleasant and accommodating. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any type of event. Thank you to all you guys!”

Got Questions?

Do you provide waiting staff for weddings?
No. For live cooking (hog roast, BBQ, giant pan) our cook team is on-site cooking — guests help themselves. Buffets are drop-and-go: delivered, set up, we leave. You and your guests serve yourselves. No silver service, no waiting staff, no front-of-house.
What wedding catering options do you offer?
Everything we do for any other event — hog roast from £9.15pp delivered, BBQ from £9.95pp on-site, giant pan from £12.25pp, buffets from £7.95pp, afternoon tea, seafood platters, chocolate fountain from £153.00. Same menus, same prices, no wedding markup.
Do you cook on-site at wedding venues?
Yes. For hog roasts, BBQs and giant pan we arrive early and cook live at your venue. Fully self-contained — no kitchen, power or water needed.
Do you charge more for wedding catering?
No. Our prices are the same regardless of event type. A buffet for a wedding costs the same as for a birthday or corporate event. No wedding surcharges.
How far in advance should I book wedding catering?
4–8 weeks ahead is sensible, especially for summer dates. A non-refundable 30% deposit holds your date — see our terms and conditions for details.
What happens in bad weather?
We bring gazebos as standard and cook outdoors in most conditions. If your venue has indoor space, we can set up there. Buffets are delivered inside, so weather is not a factor for those.
