Catering in Newton Abbot | Hog Roasts, BBQs & Event Catering in Newton Abbot

Catering in Newton Abbot — Devon Event Catering from Salt Wind Newton Abbot sits at the meeting point of Dartmoor and the South Devon coast — and a stone's throw from Bovey Castle, one of the most-used film locations in the South West. If you're producing on Dartmoor, the chances are you'll spend at least one day at Bovey or one of the surrounding estates. We'll bring your crew lunch. Bovey Castle has confirmed IMDB film location credits and dedicated production facilities, which makes it a known quantity for unit catering. We've fed crews on Dartmoor before and we know how the day runs. Salt Wind Catering is based at 37 Fore Street, Redruth — around 2h (95 miles) from Newton Abbot via the A38 across the Tamar and onto the Devon Expressway. 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 Newton Abbot Event Every event we cater in Newton Abbot is freshly prepared and cooked on-site. Here's what we offer: Film & TV Location Catering — Crew catering on shoot days — breakfast, lunch and dinner delivered to call sheet, fresh and hot, on the unit base. We've fed productions across Cornwall and Devon, and we know how a shoot day actually runs. 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. 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. Venues and Locations We Cover Around Newton Abbot Whether your event is at a known venue or a private home, we handle the catering logistics. Here are three Newton Abbot-area venues we know well: Bovey Castle — A 275-acre Dartmoor estate with a confirmed film and TV production history (multiple IMDB-listed credits) and dedicated facilities for productions. The grounds will take a giant pan setup for crew lunch or a full hog roast for a private wrap event. Newton Abbot Racecourse — A National Hunt course on the banks of the River Teign with corporate suites, weddings packages and event spaces. Big enough for a hog roast in the parade ring, perfect for a charcoal BBQ in the Paddock Suite. Holne Park House / River Dart Country Park — A 90-acre estate on the edge of Dartmoor with outdoor activity spaces and corporate teambuilding facilities. Charcoal BBQ for the end-of-day debrief; giant pan for the lunch break. We cover the surrounding villages and the Teign Valley too — Bovey Tracey, Chudleigh, Ashburton, Kingsteignton. If it's TQ12, we'll get to it. 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 Newton Abbot 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 Newton Abbot. 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.
