Catering in Callington — Kit Hill Country, Tamar Valley, Properly Fed

Callington is a market town in east Cornwall on the A388 between Launceston and Saltash, with Kit Hill — one of Cornwall's most recognisable landmarks — rising above it to the north. The surrounding countryside stretches into the Tamar Valley AONB, past Gunnislake, Stoke Climsland, Pensilva, St Dominick, and Bere Alston. It's a rural area with a strong farming and community character — village hall events, agricultural shows, farm weddings, sports club presentations, and community celebrations happen throughout the year.

Salt Wind Catering covers Callington and the Tamar Valley from our base in Redruth — about 50 minutes east via the A30 and A388. We cover the town and all the surrounding villages including Gunnislake, Stoke Climsland, Pensilva, St Dominick, and the Tamar Valley AONB. We know the access routes, which lanes work for our vehicles, and what each rural venue needs from us to arrive properly set up.

Our Catering Services in Callington

Hog Roast Catering

Whole Cornish hog slow-roasted on-site — the perfect centrepiece for Kit Hill garden parties, Tamar Valley farm weddings, and village fete celebrations. We set up, cook for eight hours over real charcoal, and carve fresh in front of guests with apple sauce, stuffing, and crusty rolls. Our hog roast catering is self-contained, needs no power or kitchen, and feeds 40 to 300 guests. The hog comes from a local Cornish farm. Nothing frozen, nothing reheated.

Charcoal BBQ Catering

Premium charcoal BBQ with locally sourced cuts and homemade sides — burgers, sausages, marinated chicken, ribs — alongside fresh slaws, salads, and proper bread. Nothing comes frozen or pre-made. Ideal for outdoor celebrations in the Tamar Valley, sports club presentations, and garden parties with Kit Hill views. Our BBQ catering is fully self-contained with all equipment, charcoal, and sides included.

Event & Party Buffets

Freshly made platters and hot buffets delivered to Callington Town Hall, village halls across the Tamar Valley, and private homes and farms. Made that morning in our Redruth kitchen, arriving ready to set out. Our event and party buffets cover birthdays, wakes, christenings, corporate events, and community gatherings — all delivered, set up, and cleared afterwards.

Giant Pan Live Cooking

Live paella and tagine in our giant pans — a showstopper at outdoor Callington events, village fetes, and country estate celebrations. We set up and cook fresh throughout the event so guests eat at their own pace. Our giant pan catering creates real spectacle and gets people talking. Works brilliantly alongside Kit Hill's open countryside backdrop.

Grazing Platters & Afternoon Tea

Charcuterie, artisan cheese, and fresh fruit delivered across Callington and surrounding villages. Our grazing platters work for smaller gatherings, business meetings, and celebrations at home. Our afternoon tea — proper Cornish scones, clotted cream, jam, and finger sandwiches — is popular for birthday teas and small private events. Seven-day delivery.

We know access and logistics for all of these venues and arrive with no need for venue support.
