Allergen handling follows FIR 2014 loose-food rules — full ingredient information is available on request for any guest with a specific dietary requirement, and a single generic allergen notice covers the obligation. Per-item allergen labelling is not required. Vegan and vegetarian menus are designed from scratch, not assembled from meat-free sides. We routinely cater for mixed groups with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-aware and pork-free requirements at the same event. Severe allergy disclosure: our kitchen handles both nuts and gluten. For guests with a nut, peanut, hazelnut or coeliac allergy, we cannot guarantee a 100% trace-free meal and we will recommend the guest carries their EpiPen or prescribed medication. We tell clients this up front rather than overpromising kitchen separation we cannot deliver. ## Key Pages - Homepage: https://www.saltwind.catering/ - All services: https://www.saltwind.catering/services - Wedding catering: https://www.saltwind.catering/wedding-catering-cornwall - Hog roast: https://www.saltwind.catering/hog-roast-catering-cornwall - BBQ catering: https://www.saltwind.catering/bbq-catering-cornwall - Funeral & wake catering: https://www.saltwind.catering/funeral-catering - Corporate catering: https://www.saltwind.catering/corporate-lunch-catering-cornwall - Festival & outdoor: https://www.saltwind.catering/blog/festival-outdoor-event-catering-cornwall-bbqs-hog-roasts-street-food - Allergen management: https://www.saltwind.catering/blog/allergen-dietary-catering-cornwall - Pricing guide: https://www.saltwind.catering/blog/how-much-does-catering-cost-cornwall - FAQs: https://www.saltwind.catering/faqs - Blog: https://www.saltwind.catering/blog - Cornish recipes: https://www.saltwind.catering/blog/cornish-recipes - Event planning guides: https://www.saltwind.catering/blog/event-planning-guides - Contact: https://www.saltwind.catering/contact - Quote request: https://www.saltwind.catering/catering-quote-request ## Booking - 30% non-refundable deposit to secure the date - Balance due 7 days before the event - Minimum notice: 2 weeks (shorter for small orders) - Quote response: same day / next business day ## Content Authorship - All guides, pricing notes and recipes are written by the Salt Wind Catering kitchen team, based in Redruth, Cornwall. - Content is attributed to the organisation (Salt Wind Catering), not to named individuals, and is drawn from events the team has actually catered across Cornwall and Devon. - Editorial standards: https://www.saltwind.catering/blog/author/team --- ## Full page content ### FAQs page Ordering & Delivery Q: How do I place a catering order with Salt Wind Catering?

For deliveries further afield across Cornwall and Devon, a mileage charge applies. We will always confirm the delivery cost when you request a quote. Q: How is the food delivered — hot or chilled? A: It depends on the service. Delivered buffets are typically chilled and ready to serve at room temperature, packed in insulated containers.

Holiday home platters are chilled and come with simple serving instructions. Q: What time will my order arrive? A: We agree a delivery window with you when you book. For most orders we aim to arrive 30-60 minutes before your serving time so you have everything ready. We will always confirm an estimated arrival time in advance and contact you if anything changes on the day. Q: Is there a minimum order? A: Minimums vary by service. Event and party buffets require a minimum of 20 guests. Corporate catering has no minimum. BBQ and hog roast require a minimum of 20 guests (delivered) or 50 guests (on-site).

Q: How far in advance should I book? A: For standard catering orders, we recommend at least 48 hours notice. For large events, weddings, and hog roasts, we suggest booking 5-7 days in advance or as early as possible, especially during summer months when we get very busy. Q: Can I order for the same day? A: We always try to help with short-notice requests, but same-day orders are subject to availability and are not guaranteed. For welfare and emergency catering deployments we operate 24 hours a day. For standard event orders, please give us as much notice as possible — call us on 01209 206255 and we will let you know what we can do. Q: Can I change or cancel my order? A: Yes, you can amend your order up to 48 hours before your delivery or event date. Cancellations made with more than 48 hours notice will not be charged. For late cancellations or no-shows, a cancellation fee may apply to cover food preparation costs already incurred. Q: Can you deliver to holiday cottages and remote locations? A: Yes. Holiday home and cottage catering is one of our specialities. We deliver across Cornwall and Devon, including rural and coastal locations.

Dietary & Allergens Q: Do you cater for dietary requirements? A: Yes. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-aware, dairy-free, nut-aware and pork-free diets, and routinely build menus for mixed groups at the same event. Tell us about your guests' requirements when you request a quote and we will plan around them. Q: How do you handle food allergies? A: As an event caterer we work to FIR 2014 loose-food rules. We collect dietary requirements at booking and can provide full ingredient information on request for any guest with a specific allergy. For severe allergies (nut, peanut, hazelnut, coeliac) we disclose honestly that our kitchen handles both nuts and gluten, so we cannot guarantee a trace-free meal, and we recommend the guest carries their EpiPen or prescribed medication. Q: Can you provide allergen information for your menus? A: Yes — full ingredient information for any dish is available on request when you book. Per FIR 2014, a single generic allergen notice covers the loose-food obligation; we go further by providing ingredient detail for any guest who needs it. Q: Can you cater for gluten-free guests? A: We can adjust menus to remove gluten-containing ingredients. Our kitchen does handle gluten, so for coeliac guests we cannot promise a fully trace-free preparation environment — we will be honest about that when you book so the guest can make an informed choice. Q: Can you cater for vegans and vegetarians? A: Yes, we offer dedicated vegan and vegetarian menus as well as incorporating plant-based options into any catering package. We do not just swap the meat out — vegan dishes are planned and prepared properly as part of your event menu. Q: Can I request specific dietary modifications? A: Yes. When you place your order or request a quote, tell us about your guests' dietary needs and we will build a menu around them. We are used to catering for mixed groups with a range of requirements at the same event. Pricing & Booking Q: How much does your catering cost? A: Cold finger buffets start from £6.75 per head.
