We set the cabinet up cold and leave it with you. Nine Cornish flavours, cones and tubs stacked beside it, open for four hours. Nobody hovering, no queue, and people go back for a second one — which is rather the point.

“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. I would confidently recommend Salt Wind Catering to any business or individual looking for exceptional food and a professional, dependable service. We’ll absolutely be using them again for future events. — Owner, The Cleanno Group”

When we arrived at the reception we were absolutely blown away by the presentation and amount of lovely food which went down a treat. We would highly recommend this company, excellent service and value for money, thankyou from Simon & Carly”
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.”
Anna Wasson·Children's Party — 4th Birthday
“So happy with our family get together today. I ordered our delicious cold buffet from Salt Wind Catering and I’m so glad I did. The food was delicious. Fresh and tasty.

Amanda Stevens·Cold Buffet — family gathering
“We booked Salt Wind at short notice for a party we had last week. 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. The food was delivered on time and was really fresh and beautifully presented! The Vegetable Platter and the Fruit Platters were definitely show stoppers. Everything tasted delicious. Lots of our party guests commented on how lovely the food was and wanted your details (which we provided). If we ever have another event - we would definitely use Salt Wind again and we will be recommending them to all our friends. Thanks for all your help! Mary & Jimmy :)”

We bring it, load it and leave it with you for four hours. Then we come back and take it away dirty.
We deliver and load it
We arrive ahead of your window, position the cabinet, load your nine flavours and set out cones, tubs, spoons, napkins, sauces and sprinkles. It runs off a normal 13-amp socket.
Your guests help themselves
Four hours, self-serve, as much as they like. Nobody from us stands behind it — there is no queue and no one deciding how big a scoop anybody gets.
We come back for it
We collect at the end of your window and take the cabinet away dirty. You don't touch the cleaning, and nothing is left for anyone to deal with.
From £545.00 inc VAT (£454.17 ex VAT). That covers a full cabinet — 45 litres, nine flavours, around 290 servings — set up at your venue for four hours with cones, tubs, spoons, napkins, sauces and sprinkles included. Bigger loads are £695.00 for 60 litres and £995.00 for 90 litres. No travel charge anywhere in Cornwall.
Do you stay and serve the ice cream?
No — and that is deliberate. This is a self-serve counter. We deliver the cabinet, load it, set out everything your guests need and leave it with you for four hours, then come back and take it away dirty. Most ice cream carts send one person with a scoop, which means a queue and a portion someone else decides. Yours is open for four hours and your guests help themselves as often as they like.
How many flavours do we get, and can we choose them?
Nine at a time, and yes — you pick them. Callestick Farm make 31 ice creams and 6 sorbets and we can bring any nine of them. Most ice cream carts in Cornwall offer four or five flavours in total.
What is the smallest booking you do?
One full cabinet — 45 litres, nine flavours, £545.00 inc VAT. The cabinet has nine wells and it goes out full; we do not do a part-load or a cut-down flavour list. If you have 60 guests rather than 110 you are welcome to book it, but the price is the same. It is the same delivery, the same setup and the same cabinet either way.
How many guests will one cabinet actually feed?
A full 45-litre cabinet gives around 290 servings, which comfortably covers 110 guests across four hours of self-service. We plan on two and a half servings a head rather than one, because when it is self-serve and open all afternoon people go back. If you are over 110, take the 60-litre or 90-litre load.
Will it melt if nobody is watching it?
No. It is a proper commercial scoop cabinet running below -18°C, not a tub in a bucket of ice, and it holds temperature perfectly well with the lids down between servings. The four-hour window is the control — we set it up cold, you use it, we collect. Longer than that and we would want to talk about how the day is running.
