Catering in Falmouth — Where the Coast Meets a Cracking Party

Falmouth's a town that knows how to celebrate. Between the harbour, the university, Falmouth Week, the Food Festival on the waterfront, and a summer calendar that doesn't stop — there's always something going on. And whether it's a wedding overlooking the bay at The Greenbank Hotel, a 21st at a rented house up near Gyllyngvase, or a corporate do at the National Maritime Museum on Events Square, the food needs to be as good as the setting.

Salt Wind Catering covers Falmouth and the whole south Cornwall coast. We're based in Redruth — about 20 minutes up the road — and we've been feeding Falmouth events for years. We know the narrow streets, we know the parking situation, and we know how to get a hog roast set up in a harbourside garden without blocking half of Custom House Quay.

What We Bring to Your Falmouth Event

Everything we make is fresh, homemade, and built around proper Cornish ingredients. No reheated trays from a depot. Here's what we do:

Event & Party Buffets — Freshly prepared platters delivered straight to your Falmouth venue. Whether you're in a holiday cottage in Maenporth, a function room on The Moor, or a hired space at The Poly, we deliver, set up, and make it look the part. Perfect for birthdays, christenings, wakes, and office dos.

Hog Roast Catering — A whole hog from a local Cornish farm, slow-roasted on-site until the crackling's perfect. This is the centrepiece that makes a Falmouth garden party or a summer wedding at Pendennis Castle genuinely memorable. We handle everything — cooking, carving, serving.

BBQ Catering — Premium charcoal BBQs with proper cuts, homemade sides, and real smoke flavour. Ideal for beach-adjacent parties, garden events in Budock, or laid-back receptions at one of the hotels along the seafront. Not a sad burger in sight.

Giant Pan Catering — Authentic paella, aromatic curries, and more, cooked live in our giant pans right in front of your guests. It's theatrical, it smells incredible, and it works brilliantly at outdoor Falmouth events, harbourside parties, and Falmouth Week gatherings.

Grazing Platters — Savoury, sweet, vegetarian, low-gluten, brunch, and fruit options. Delivered across Falmouth and the surrounding villages. Need something last-minute? We do 7-day-a-week delivery.

Falmouth Venues and Locations We Know Well

Falmouth's not the easiest town to get a catering van into — between the one-way system, the steep hills, and the summer traffic, you need a caterer who's done it before. We regularly deliver to and set up at The Greenbank Hotel and the harbour area, Pendennis Castle and the headland, Events Square and the Maritime Museum, The Falmouth Hotel and Royal Duchy Hotel along the seafront, private gardens and holiday homes around Gyllyngvase, Swanpool, and Maenporth, Princess Pavilions and Gyllyngdune Gardens, Falmouth University campus and Penryn Campus events, and village halls and community spaces from Budock to Mawnan Smith.
