For years, Salt Wind Catering has been synonymous with reliability across Cornwall. You know us for delivering flawless logistics at high-stakes weddings, complex film set catering, and large-scale events. We built our reputation on the ground by being precise, punctual, and professional under pressure.
In 2026, we are taking that same military-grade precision to a new altitude.
We are proud to announce the launch of Salt Wind Aerial, our dedicated division for professional drone services in Cornwall. Based in Redruth, we are now offering 24/7 aerial intelligence, cinematic media, and rapid-response visual inspections across every TR and PL postcode.
Why a Catering Company is Taking to the Skies
It might seem like an unusual leap, but to us, it’s a natural evolution of logistics.
Our catering clients—from coastal wedding venues to large estate owners—kept asking the same questions: "Do you know a reliable drone pilot who won't let us down?" or "Can you check the marquee setup from above?"
We realized the market was full of unreliable hobbyists. Cornwall needed a professional, licensed operator that brought the same "show up and deliver" mentality that we bring to our kitchens. We’ve invested in 2026-spec technology, achieved full A2 CofC certification, and launched Salt Wind Aerial to provide a service that prioritizes data, safety, and speed.
Three Ways We Are Changing the Cornish Drone Market
1. Discreet Wedding Cinematography
Nobody wants a noisy drone buzzing over their vows. We utilize advanced dual-lens optical zoom technology. This allows us to capture stunning, intimate 4K cinematic shots of your ceremony from 50 metres away—making us completely silent and invisible to your guests.
2. Rapid Visual Roof Inspections (No Scaffolding)
Cornish winters are tough on roofs. Following a storm, waiting for scaffolding is expensive and slow. Our drone roof inspections provide ultra-high-definition visual evidence of chimneys, valleys, and slate work. We deliver raw visual data to your inbox within 4 hours, allowing you to show your builder or insurer the evidence immediately.
3. The "Blue Hour" Property Edge
In the crowded 2026 holiday let market, standard photos aren't enough. We specialize in Blue Hour sunset imagery, capturing properties when they look their most magical. Our long-range sensors capture the context—showing exactly how close a property is to the coast in one high-altitude "Hero" frame.
Advanced 2026 Tech: Night Ops & LiDAR Safety
We don't stop when the sun goes down. Salt Wind Aerial is fully authorized for 24/7 Night Operations. Our fleet is equipped with mandatory Green Flashing Strobes and advanced LiDAR (Laser-Guided) Navigation. Whether it’s an evening marquee reception or an emergency night-time structural assessment, we fly safely when others can't.
2026 Founding Rates & Free TR Travel
To celebrate our launch, we are offering Founding Client Rates throughout 2026. This includes professional property kits starting at just £115.00 and visual roof audits from £135.00.
Furthermore, to support our local community, we are offering FREE TRAVEL for all drone bookings within TR postcodes. Whether you are in Truro, Falmouth, Penzance, or right here in Redruth, there is zero call-out fee.
