Funeral & Wake Catering in Helston
Funeral catering in Helston is straightforward, respectful food for a wake or memorial gathering — sandwiches and finger food through to a hot fork buffet. Everything is delivered on time, set out quietly before people arrive, and cleared away without fuss, so nobody in the family has to think about the catering. 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 Helston from our Redruth kitchen, about 20 minutes 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
“Salt Wind have just done a last minute buffet for me to cater for seven people. I asked for the antipasti plater and I can honestly say it was amazing. From the selection of meat that had been made into roses, and different cheese to the selection of crackers and bread. It was out of this world.”
