Emergency Catering & Welfare Support | Cornwall & Devon
Rapid-Response, Totally Off-Grid Welfare Provision for Power Outages & Major Disruptions.
When power, access, or communications fail, food provision must be fast, visible, and dependable. Salt Wind Catering provides specialised rapid-response emergency catering and welfare support across Cornwall and Devon.
We are built for the most challenging environments, supporting communities and frontline operations during severe weather incidents, power outages, and large-scale infrastructure failures.
Totally Off-Grid & Self-Sufficient
Emergency catering rarely happens in ideal conditions. Our service is engineered to be completely self-sufficient, requiring zero reliance on local infrastructure to function.
Zero External Power Required
We operate entirely off-grid using our own independent power and fuel systems.
Rapid Deployment Infrastructure
We establish welfare hubs quickly in car parks, roadside access points, or public spaces without needing building access.
Independent Water Supply
We manage our own potable water requirements for food and drink preparation.
Mobile Gazebo Hubs
Where buildings are unsafe or unavailable, our heavy-duty gazebo setups provide a fast, low-impact footprint in even the most remote or constrained locations.
A Visible Welfare Point, Not Just Food Service
We provide more than just hot meals; we create a clear, visible welfare presence that offers structure and reassurance during times of crisis.
-
Hot Provisions: Rapid delivery of hot food and drinks to combat exposure.
-
Ready-to-Serve: High-energy options designed for immediate consumption by residents and frontline crews.
-
Scalable Support: Service levels can be scaled up or down instantly as the incident evolves.
-
Site Management: Maintaining order, clarity, and accessibility at the welfare hub to reduce pressure on emergency services.
Operating When Systems Fail: Satellite Connectivity
During major incidents, local mobile and fibre networks often fail alongside the power grid. To ensure our welfare hubs remain functional, we offer integrated technology support:
Starlink Satellite Internet: Where required, our hubs can provide public Wi-Fi access. This supports basic communication, access to emergency information, and on-site coordination when all other local networks are unavailable. It is treated as a support tool, not a dependency.
Experience That Shapes Delivery
Salt Wind Catering’s service is built from direct, real-world deployment—not theory.
