Conference Catering Cornwall

Full-day delegate catering for conferences, training days and away days across Cornwall. AM break, hot lunch, PM break, delivered, set up, cleared down. No venue kitchen required.

A delegate day that runs itself

Salt Wind Catering runs full-day conference catering across Cornwall. Three service points, AM break, lunch, PM break, with a hot drinks station running through the day. We deliver, set up, replenish and pack down our kit so the chair runs the agenda, not the catering.

A conference day is not a working lunch. A working lunch is one drop. A delegate day is three coordinated services with timing pinned to your agenda. Different operation, different price point, different page. We built a separate offer for each.

Need a single delivered lunch instead? See our working lunch delivery. Office team meeting? Corporate lunch catering covers that.
