Hog Roast & Spit Roast Catering
Cornish pork, smoked over real charcoal in our Redruth kitchen for up to 16 hours until the skin blisters and cracks. Charcoal and logs, not a catering van oven. Then finished over charcoal and carved in front of your guests. They get the full theatre of it.
We bring everything: the rig, the charcoal, the gazebo, the carving station. Setup to pack-down is all ours. All we need from you is a 3m × 6m flat outdoor space.
Cornish pork, beef brisket, lamb spit roast, turkey on request. From a simple roll service to a full two-course banquet with gourmet sides and dessert. Delivered ready to serve, or finished over charcoal and carved live at your event, your call.
Salt Wind Catering has catered 700+ events across Cornwall & Devon since 2024, holding a 5.0★ rating from 67 reviews: so your hog roast is in steady, well-rehearsed hands.

Delivered vs on-site
Delivered: we cook and deliver ready to serve. On-site: we set up at your venue, finish over charcoal and carve throughout your event. On-site: 50-guest minimum. Delivered: from 20 guests.
"Is it expensive?"
From £9.15pp delivered. Full roast team, equipment, carving service. Scales to weddings and big events without a wedding surcharge.
"Will they come to our venue?"
Cornwall as standard. Devon bookings welcome, travel is free on orders over £500 for Plymouth and Tavistock, and £1 per mile round-trip from Redruth below that, always confirmed in the quote before you commit.
"We don't have a kitchen."
Completely self-contained, oven, charcoal, gazebo, carving station, waste. All we need is a 3m × 6m flat outdoor space.
"Only 30 people coming."
On-site minimum is 50. Under 50? Delivered hog roast is available from 20 guests, or our buffet range starts from 20 guests too.
The reveal
Cornish pork brought to the carving station, skin blistered into crackling, the centrepiece of the room before a plate moves.
The carve
Our pitmaster carves to order, pulled, sliced, hand-portioned. Crackling on the side, never on the bun.
The hand-off
Apple sauce, sage & onion stuffing, soft bakery rolls. Guests queue once, leave with a proper plate.
The Carving Ceremony
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.
We booked Salt Wind for our wedding and they genuinely were the most accommodating and responsive suppliers we've ever used. We were blown away by their service. The hog roast was delicious and the pasties and scones in the evening went down a treat. Thank you so much for making our day run smoothly! Would absolutely recommend!
Real events · not stock

Why It Tastes Like That
Every joint we bring you has already spent up to 16 hours over charcoal smoke in our own kitchen before it ever reaches your venue. That is the part that does the work. What happens on the spit in front of your guests is the finish, the crackling and the carving, and it is the best bit to watch.
Sixteen hours of smoke
A few hours on a spit in a field cooks a joint through. It does not put smoke into it. A full night over charcoal gets down past the bark and into the meat, which is the difference you taste and the reason people come back for thirds.
Cooked under control, not under a gazebo
It is cooked in a 5-star rated kitchen, probed and logged, rather than in whatever the weather is doing on the day. Wind, rain and a gas bottle running low have no say in how your pork turns out.
Ready when you are
Speeches overrun. Photographs take longer than anyone plans for. Because the long cook is already done, your meal moving an hour costs you nothing, and nobody is standing over a joint hoping it is ready by six.
You still get the theatre
The spit still turns, the crackling still cracks, and your guests still watch it carved to order in front of them. You just get it without the risk that comes with cooking raw pork on a field for the first time at your own wedding.
