Catering in Kingsbridge | Hog Roasts, BBQs & Event Catering in Kingsbridge
Catering in Kingsbridge — Devon Event Catering from Salt Wind Kingsbridge is the South Hams in microcosm — country lanes, hidden barns, walled gardens and the kind of garden parties that have been happening in this part of Devon for generations. Hog roast is the natural choice for almost every event we do here. The South Hams is one of the better drives in the South West and a region we know well. Long, yes — but the venues earn the journey every time. Salt Wind Catering is based at 37 Fore Street, Redruth — around 2h 10m (105 miles) from Kingsbridge via the A38 across the Tamar, A381 down through the South Hams. We travel into Devon regularly for weddings, corporate events, festivals and film/TV productions. We're fully self-sufficient — we bring our own kit, our own fuel, our own everything. Cook on-site, serve on-site, clear up on-site. No venue kitchen needed, no awkward conversations with in-house chefs. A note on travel — Devon is a travel supplement area. We're based in Redruth, and crossing the Tamar adds a real cost to the day in fuel and crew time. The supplement is calculated to your exact postcode and confirmed upfront in your written quote. There are no surprises on the day, no hidden charges added at the end. You'll know what you're paying before you book, and the figure won't change. What We Bring to Your Kingsbridge Event Every event we cater in Kingsbridge is freshly prepared and cooked on-site. Here's what we offer: Hog Roast Catering — Whole hogs sourced from trusted farms, cooked low and slow on-site through the day until guests are arriving and the smell does the marketing for you. Best for 60+ guests, smaller pigs available from 30+. Proper crackling, apple sauce, fresh rolls — no shortcuts. BBQ Catering — Premium charcoal BBQs with proper meats, vibrant fresh sides and real smoke flavour. Forget the supermarket sausage. We bring the kit, the fuel, the food, and we cook it on the spot. Venues and Locations We Cover Around Kingsbridge Whether your event is at a known venue or a private home, we handle the catering logistics. Here are three Kingsbridge-area venues we know well: Holsome Park — A South Hams barn venue with the Foxglove Quarry outdoor ceremony space and views across to Dartmoor. The grounds are designed for outdoor cooking — hog roast and charcoal BBQ both fit naturally into the setting. South Allington House — A country house with grounds that take a 200-seat marquee, formal walled gardens and exclusive-use private hire. Hog roast on the lawn; BBQ catering inside the marquee if the weather turns. Sturtlebury Barn — A converted barn in a quiet South Hams valley, suited to intimate weddings of 80 to 110 guests. Smaller pig hog roasts work well at this scale, and the BBQ setup fits the open courtyard. We also cover Salcombe, Modbury, Dartmouth-side villages, Slapton — TQ7 broadly speaking. Why Salt Wind for a Devon Event We're 5-star food hygiene rated, FSB members and NCASS registered. Everything's freshly prepared in our Redruth kitchen using locally-sourced produce — no packet food, no warmed-up trays from a warehouse, no pre-portioned plastic anything. Our hog roast and BBQ setups are fully self-contained: we don't need your venue's power, water or kitchen facilities. We arrive, set up, cook, serve, clear and leave the space as we found it. Most of our team has been doing this work for years — and the kit, the experience and the standards travel with us across the Tamar. We've provided catering support for organisations including the NHS, National Grid, Cornwall Council, WWF and Savills — clients who need reliability, professionalism and food that doesn't let them down. The drive into Devon doesn't change any of that. We plan our Devon days around the journey: prep starts earlier, the team leaves earlier, and the cooking on-site is timed exactly the same as it would be for an event ten minutes from our kitchen. We're not a national chain. We're not running fifteen events at once and slotting yours in between. When we book a Kingsbridge job we commit to it properly — proper crew, proper kit, proper food. Guests notice. Venue managers notice. Production managers notice. And on the back of that, we get asked back. Not Just Weddings — Corporate, Festival and Production We cater for everything in Kingsbridge. Corporate days, supplier events, summer parties on the company grounds, awards dinners, Christmas hospitality. We feed film and TV crews on shoot days — breakfast on the unit base before call, hot lunch on schedule, hot dinner if the day overruns. We work festival sites, community gatherings, charity fundraisers and milestone birthdays. Funeral wakes too — handled with care and discretion, always. If it needs feeding properly, we'll cater it. How Booking Works Send us an enquiry through the website with your event date, postcode and rough guest numbers. We'll come back with a tailored quote — including the Devon travel supplement calculated to your exact postcode — within a working day or two. For weddings and large events we recommend booking 4-6 weeks ahead; for corporate orders we can usually turn a quote around within 48 hours. Every menu accommodates vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free guests as standard, and any specific dietary requirements are built in at quote stage rather than as an afterthought.
