Suzannah Rawlings·Work Christmas Party·

“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!”

Jimmy

“We used Salt Wind Catering for a party of 50. We chose to have the hog roast and vegetarian paella plus salads. For dessert we had the chocolate brownies with strawberries and cream. The communication before the event was excellent and on the day the service was perfect. All the food was delicious. Our guests were very impressed and commented on how much they enjoyed their meals. Should we have another party I will know where to come! Many thanks to Mark and his team.”

“We recently used Salt Wind Catering for a party for around 30-40 people and they delivered on everything they promised. The food was delicious, there was way too much (no bad thing!) and it was delivered bang on time and hot. Would definitely recommend and we will use them again.”

Rupert Collier·Party: 30-40 guests

“Thoroughly recommended Salt Wind Catering they supplied the Global Flavours buffet for my 'divorce celebration/ retirement farewell get together. It was superb. Very generous amounts of everything. All very fresh and beautifully presented. I had a couple who needed guten free and a couple who were vegan/vegetarian both were boxed separately and clearly labeled. I wont hesitate to use them again. I can also vouch for their hog roast it was also very delicious and beautifully cooked.”
