Catering built around how letting portfolios actually run

If you manage a portfolio of Cornwall holiday lets, catering is one of the few guest-facing services you have not yet consolidated. The cleaners are on a single contract, laundry is one supplier, the hot-tub maintenance is one phone number. Catering still tends to be per-booking, per-property, often left to the guest at the last minute. That is where Salt Wind Catering sits, a single trade account covering welcome hampers, mid-stay food, group-booking catering and changeover packs across every property in the portfolio.

This page covers how the B2B model works, what services slot in, the billing mechanics, and how to open an account. For the consumer-facing menu, see the holiday home catering page.

Where the operational time goes

Changeover-day chaos

Cleaners arrive at 10am. Guests check in at 4pm. Between those two times somebody is meant to coordinate a welcome hamper drop without the delivery van and the cleaner colliding on a narrow Cornish lane. Across 30 properties, that is 30 separate problems every changeover day.

Mid-stay BBQ requests

A group staying at one of your premium lets emails on a Wednesday asking if you can sort out a Saturday BBQ. Either you send them off to cold-call caterers (who are already booked in August) or you have a trusted supplier on speed-dial. Without the latter, the booking experience drops.

Group-booking food briefs

Hen weekends, stag groups, family reunions, corporate retreats, the group bookings on your premium tier almost always want food on at least one night. Hog roast, paella, buffet. Routing these through a single trade caterer means consistent quality across every property, every booking.

Dietary brief management

Vegan guests, gluten-free briefs, nut allergies. With per-property catering, every dietary brief gets re-explained to a different supplier. With a trade account, the brief comes in once and the supplier already knows the kitchen.

What we put on a portfolio trade account

1. Welcome hampers, timed to arrival

Tea, coffee and something sweet, up to a Cornish larder for the kitchen cupboard, in three tiers plus a dog box, in the sheet below. Every box is ambient, so it can sit in an empty property. We deliver it to the door on the changeover day you name, Monday to Friday, for your cleaner or housekeeper to put out.

2. Mid-stay BBQ, delivered or on-site cook

Delivered BBQ from £8.45 per head, cooked in our Redruth kitchen and brought hot (minimum 20 guests), or a full on-site charcoal cook for group bookings of 50 or more, where we bring the gazebo, grill and cook team. See the BBQ catering page for the full menu.

3. Group-booking on-site catering

For group bookings of 50 or more, full on-site catering layered onto the let stay. Hog roast (from £11pp), giant-pan paella (from £12.25pp), charcoal BBQ (from £9.95pp). Our 3m × 6m cook gazebo needs garden space; we will tell you up front which properties in your portfolio are suitable.

4. Cold and hot buffet drops

Cold buffet from £7.95 per head, or a hot buffet. Drop-and-go format on disposable platters, no waiting staff, no cutlery hire. Works for arrival-night meals at family group lets and for self-catered film/TV crews using a let as a base.

5. Fresh fish for guests who cook

Guests who want to cook can order our Cornish fish themselves, delivered to the door of the let next day, Monday to Friday, in our own chilled van. Fish is paid by card when ordered and is not on trade terms.

The welcome box sheet

Three tiers and a dog box, with the single-box price. Trade prices for an account are agreed with each account, by what you order and how often. Pick a tier per property or mix them across a portfolio. Every line can be swapped at the same cost, and dietary swaps carry no surcharge.

Delivered on your changeover day

Tell us the changeover day and we deliver to the door of each property that day, Monday to Friday.

One account, every property

Each order invoiced on the day, itemised by address so you can recharge the owner, and due 7 days from the invoice date.

Swap the contents

Any line in any tier can be swapped for another at the same cost. Dietary swaps carry no surcharge.

Dog welcome boxes from the shop

A welcome box on the kitchen counter can be the difference between a good review and a five-star one. For dog-friendly lets, the shop sells the dog box singly or in packs at the shop price, to keep ready for each changeover.

Open a trade account

How the trade account actually works

One PO, multiple properties

You raise one purchase order covering the agreed period, month, quarter or season. Deliveries get posted against that PO. Each one is invoiced on the day, itemising property, date, guest count and order, due 7 days from the invoice date. This matches how cleaners and laundry already invoice, so it slots into existing back-office process.

Named account contact

One phone number, one email. The same named contact knows your portfolio, the dietary patterns of recurring guests, and can make decisions on the ground when something needs adjusting.

Weekly retainer concept

For portfolios with a regular changeover day, a standing order is the cleanest setup: a fixed arrival-pack spec delivered to the door on the day, Monday to Friday, each delivery invoiced with 7 days to pay. Headcount on the property roster gets adjusted up to 7 days ahead of each changeover.

Held pricing

Trade prices are agreed with each account when it opens. Prices effective 7 July 2026 and held for 2027 bookings, so you can pass the welcome box into the stay rate at booking confirmation.

“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!”
