Plymouth: Major port city on the Devon-Cornwall border. We're about 90 minutes from our Redruth kitchen and cover Plymouth regularly. As the largest city in our delivery area, Plymouth generates demand for corporate lunches, naval and military events, and large-scale celebrations.
Popular events around Plymouth include corporate events, naval functions, and city-centre weddings. We cover Plymouth and the area around Plymouth Hoe, Royal Citadel, and National Marine Aquarium.
Buffet delivery across Plymouth
From the city centre and the Hoe to Devonport, Plympton, Plymstock and the business parks around Derriford, we deliver to offices, halls, homes and venues right across Plymouth. Everything arrives in insulated packaging, labelled and ready to lay out, no cooking or assembly at your end.
Buffets suit the events Plymouth books most: office and boardroom lunches, naval and military functions, christenings, birthdays and wakes. Cold finger buffets start at £7.95pp, fork buffets from £13.25pp and hot buffets from £16.95pp, all inclusive of VAT, and of delivery above the free-delivery threshold. Every menu is built around your guests’ dietary needs at no extra charge.
We ask for the time you’d like to eat, not just a drop-off slot, and aim to arrive around 30 minutes before, so a cold spread is at its best and a hot buffet arrives hot in thermal units.

What customers say
“We booked Salt Wind at short notice for a party we had last week. Mark was very approachable, helpful and friendly on the phone and the man who delivered the food (Sam?) was also a credit to the company. The food was delivered on time and was really fresh and beautifully presented! The Vegetable Platter and the Fruit Platters were definitely show stoppers. Everything tasted delicious. Lots of our party guests commented on how lovely the food was and wanted your details (which we provided). If we ever have another event - we would definitely use Salt Wind again and we will be recommending them to all our friends. Thanks for all your help! Mary & Jimmy :)”
