Giant Pan Catering in Padstow
Giant pan catering in Padstow is paella, curry or chilli cooked live in a one-metre pan in front of your guests, so the cooking is part of the event. Our cook team works the pan on site through service and guests help themselves from the station, which suits festivals, weddings and street-food style gatherings. Prices start from £12.25pp including VAT, and cover the food, the equipment and the setup. The cook team is included in that price, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options carry no surcharge. We travel to Padstow from our Redruth kitchen, about 40 minutes away, and cover it regularly. On site we need a level space of roughly three by six metres and vehicle access. Nothing else: no kitchen and no power. Serving usually runs to around ninety minutes, and we agree the timings with you well before the day itself.
3 jobs catered in and around Padstow since 2024, mostly film unit catering, with delivered buffets too.

What customers say
“Saltwind came up to sunny Devon for Jo’s 60th party. Everyone absolutely loved the Hog Roast. We had a party of 55 and we were still finishing off the food at 3am. Mark and the guys were great and worked so hard to keep everyone fed. The crackling was awesome! And we all loved the beef as well! Was everything we wanted and more ! Cheers to Saltwind!”
