Catering in Perranporth — Three Miles of Beach, One Great Caterer

Perranporth has one of the best beaches in Cornwall — three miles of golden sand stretching from the village out past the dunes at Perran Sands. It's a proper surf and holiday town with the Watering Hole right on the beach, Perranporth Airfield on the cliff above, holiday parks bringing families in from Easter to October, and a local community that stretches through Goonhavern, St Agnes, Bolingey, and the surrounding villages. Beach weddings, surf club events, airfield fly-in parties, holiday park barbecues, and community events all happen here year-round.

Salt Wind Catering is based in Redruth — about 20 minutes east down the B3285. We cover Perranporth, the dunes, Perran Sands, Goonhavern, and the surrounding villages. We know the beach access, the parking, and the logistics of catering in a town where summer crowds can make everything more complicated.

Our Catering Services in Perranporth

Everything is made fresh at 37 Fore Street, Redruth. No packet food, no reheated trays. Here's what we bring to Perranporth events:

Charcoal BBQ Catering

Our most popular service in Perranporth — premium charcoal BBQ with locally sourced cuts, homemade sides, and proper smoke flavour. Perfect for beach parties at Perran Sands, surf club events, holiday park socials, and garden parties in Bolingey. Our BBQ catering is fully self-contained — nothing frozen, nothing from a packet, homemade slaws and proper bread.

Hog Roast Catering

A whole Cornish hog slow-roasted on-site — the centrepiece for large beach parties, surf club presentations, holiday park events, and community celebrations in the dunes. Our hog roast catering is fully self-contained, needs no power or kitchen, and feeds 30 to 300 guests.

Event & Party Buffets

Freshly prepared platters and hot buffets delivered across Perranporth and surrounding villages. Our event and party buffets cover birthdays, christenings, retirement parties, and wakes — delivered and set up, ready to serve.

Giant Pan Live Cooking

Live paella, tagine, and stir-fry cooked in our giant pans at beach events and outdoor gatherings. Our giant pan catering is a crowd-puller and the smell alone does the marketing.

Grazing Platters & Holiday Deliveries

Charcuterie, cheese, fresh fruit, and chutneys — delivered to holiday cottages and holiday parks across Perranporth. Our grazing platters and holiday home catering are popular with groups who want proper food without spending their whole holiday cooking. 7-day-a-week delivery.

Perranporth Venues We Know Well

Perranporth's beach and dune locations present real logistical challenges in summer — packed car parks, pedestrian-only beach zones, and sandy conditions that require properly contained catering equipment. We know how to work within all of it.

Beach & Dune Locations

The Watering Hole is Britain's only beach bar and a legendary Perranporth venue for live music events, summer parties, and community gatherings. Perran Sands and the dune areas beyond are popular for beach weddings and large outdoor celebrations. We've set up at all of these and know exactly what's involved.

Perranporth Airfield & Village Venues


Perranporth Airfield hosts fly-in events, aviation club socials, and large outdoor events on the clifftop. Perranporth Athletic's ground and the surf club are both used for sports presentations and community events. Goonhavern and Bolingey village halls serve the inland communities.
