Cornish pork brought to the carving station, skin blistered into crackling — the centrepiece of the room before a plate moves.
02 · The carve
Our pitmaster carves to order — pulled, sliced, hand-portioned. Crackling on the side, never on the bun.
03 · The hand-off
Apple sauce, sage & onion stuffing, soft bakery rolls. Guests queue once, leave with a proper plate.
The Carving Ceremony
What do guests see at a hog roast? Cornish pork, carved live.
Nothing else looks like a hog roast at full carving. Cornish pork, smoked for hours, crackling glassy and amber, lifted onto the carving board the moment guests sit down. That is the moment — and it is the reason couples and corporate hosts keep coming back to hog roast over every other option we offer.
We carve to order. Hand-pulled portions, generous rolls, crackling on the side. The board is the show; the queue is short; the plates are full.

Thoroughly recommended Salt Wind Catering they supplied the Global Flavours buffet for my 'divorce celebration/ retirement farewell get together. It was superb. Very generous amounts of everything. All very fresh and beautifully presented. I had a couple who needed guten free and a couple who were vegan/vegetarian both were boxed separately and clearly labeled.
I wont hesitate to use them again.
I can also vouch for their hog roast it was also very delicious and beautifully cooked.

“I recently booked Salt Wind Catering for one of our corporate events and I can honestly say they exceeded expectations in every area. From the initial enquiry through to the event itself, the communication was excellent – clear, responsive, and professional, which made organising everything straightforward and stress-free. On the day, the team were punctual, well organised, and seamlessly fitted in with the flow of the event. The food was outstanding. High quality ingredients, cooked perfectly, and presented beautifully. It wasn’t just “good catering food” – it was genuinely impressive, and we received a constant stream of compliments from both our staff and guests throughout the event. What really stood out was the level of care and pride the team take in their work. They understand how important reliability and presentation are at corporate events, and they delivered both effortlessly. It made a big difference knowing we were in safe hands.

Carly·Wedding Buffet — delivered
“We ordered the Children's Buffet Party Food through Salt Wind Catering for our daughter's 4th birthday party, and my husband and I were very impressed and pleased with their product and service--as were several parents at the party, who asked who we used! The food arrived on time, beautifully presented, fresh, and plentiful, with a lovely variety of food which is perfect for young children--pleasing even the pickiest eaters. The menu was customised for us, down to the sandwich ratios. I tend to be a "stress head" so using Salt Wind instead of attempting to do all the food myself, greatly reduced my stress and it was better than what I could have prepared anyhow (among other things, there'd be no way I could manage the hot options). Overall it was great value and I highly recommend.”

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.
