Catering in Tiverton | Hog Roasts, BBQs & Event Catering in Tiverton

Catering in Tiverton — Devon Event Catering from Salt Wind Tiverton sits between the Exe Valley and the edge of Exmoor, with two of Devon's more interesting venues on its doorstep — Bickleigh Castle on the river, and Knightshayes Court, a National Trust Victorian country house with confirmed IMDB film location credits and an outdoor cinema programme. Film/TV catering and estate hog roasts often happen at the same venues here. Knightshayes has actual film credits, which makes it a known quantity for unit catering — and the kind of estate where productions and private hire sit comfortably side by side. Salt Wind Catering is based at 37 Fore Street, Redruth — around 1h 55m (100 miles) from Tiverton via the A30 to Exeter, then up the M5 to Junction 27 and across. 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 Tiverton Event Every event we cater in Tiverton 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. 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 Tiverton Whether your event is at a known venue or a private home, we handle the catering logistics. Here are three Tiverton-area venues we know well: Bickleigh Castle — A 16th-century castle complex on the River Exe with an outdoor pagoda for ceremonies, eighteen bedrooms and a long history of weddings and private events. The grounds take a hog roast and the riverside setting is hard to argue with. Knightshayes Court — A National Trust Victorian country house with confirmed IMDB film location credits, an outdoor cinema programme and a regular events calendar. Productions on the estate need on-site crew catering, and we slot into that naturally. Huntsham Court — A private exclusive-use estate on the Exmoor border with 42 rooms and capacity for 130 guests. Three-day weddings here often want a different food offer each day — hog roast, charcoal BBQ, giant pan — and we'll happily run all three. We cover the Exe Valley and the Exmoor edge — Bampton, Sampford Peverell, Halberton. EX16 in full. 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 Tiverton 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 Tiverton. 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.
