Event & Party Buffet Catering in Exeter
Buffet catering in Exeter is a spread made fresh that morning in our Redruth kitchen, delivered to your venue and set out ready for guests to help themselves. Hot fork buffets, cold platters and afternoon tea are arranged on the table before guests arrive, so nothing needs cooking or plating at your end. Prices start from £7.95pp including VAT, and cover the food, the equipment and the setup. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options carry no surcharge, and everything arrives ready to serve. We travel to Exeter from our Redruth kitchen, about 2 hours away, and cover it regularly. We need somewhere to set the food down and vehicle access to unload, and we handle the rest. We agree a ready-by time with you and deliver ahead of it, so the food is not sitting around before guests arrive.

What customers say
“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!”
