Salt Wind Catering's Cornish seafood platters start from £17.95 per head, with sharing seafood feast platters from £42.45 for two. Freshly prepared Cornish shellfish and seafood, delivered across Cornwall and Devon. We have catered 602+ events since 2024 and hold a 5.0★ rating from 57 reviews.
Three Ways to Eat Seafood
From a cottage supper to a wedding banquet
Cornish day-boat catch, dressed and chilled, delivered ready to eat. Or scaled up for a full event.
Platter prices include VAT and delivery across Cornwall, which is free everywhere. In Devon, travel is free on orders over £1,500, or over £500 for Plymouth and Tavistock, and £1 per mile round-trip from Redruth below that. Items vary by season — we always use the best of what’s landed that day.
Proper Cornish seafood, not imported stuff
You're in Cornwall. The seafood here is outstanding and it would be a shame to serve anything less. Our platters are built around what's fresh that day — Cornish dressed lobster, crab, shell-on king prawns, smoked salmon, smoked mackerel pate, and more.
They work brilliantly at weddings and anniversary parties, often paired with a sharing platter. If you're renting a cottage in St Ives or Padstow, a seafood platter delivered to your door is a cracking way to start a holiday.
Cornish Day Boat Catch
Sourced from Newlyn, Looe, Padstow and Mevagissey harbours

“We had big pans from salt wind for our wedding and the food was AMAZING. Mark and his team could not have been more helpful throughout the whole process and were a dream to work with. Nothing was ever too much trouble and so many people have said how lovely the food was. I’d book them for another event in a heart beat!”

“I recently booked Salt Wind Catering for one of our corporate events and I can honestly say they exceeded expectations in every area. From the initial enquiry through to the event itself, the communication was excellent – clear, responsive, and professional, which made organising everything straightforward and stress-free. On the day, the team were punctual, well organised, and seamlessly fitted in with the flow of the event. The food was outstanding. High quality ingredients, cooked perfectly, and presented beautifully. It wasn’t just “good catering food” – it was genuinely impressive, and we received a constant stream of compliments from both our staff and guests throughout the event. What really stood out was the level of care and pride the team take in their work. They understand how important reliability and presentation are at corporate events, and they delivered both effortlessly. It made a big difference knowing we were in safe hands. I would confidently recommend Salt Wind Catering to any business or individual looking for exceptional food and a professional, dependable service. We’ll absolutely be using them again for future events. — Owner, The Cleanno Group”

Carly·Wedding Buffet — delivered
“We ordered the Children's Buffet Party Food through Salt Wind Catering for our daughter's 4th birthday party, and my husband and I were very impressed and pleased with their product and service--as were several parents at the party, who asked who we used! The food arrived on time, beautifully presented, fresh, and plentiful, with a lovely variety of food which is perfect for young children--pleasing even the pickiest eaters. The menu was customised for us, down to the sandwich ratios. I tend to be a "stress head" so using Salt Wind instead of attempting to do all the food myself, greatly reduced my stress and it was better than what I could have prepared anyhow (among other things, there'd be no way I could manage the hot options). Overall it was great value and I highly recommend.”
Anna Wasson·Children's Party — 4th Birthday

“We booked Salt Wind at short notice for a party we had last week. Mark was very approachable, helpful and friendly on the phone and the man who delivered the food (Sam?) was also a credit to the company. The food was delivered on time and was really fresh and beautifully presented! The Vegetable Platter and the Fruit Platters were definitely show stoppers. Everything tasted delicious. Lots of our party guests commented on how lovely the food was and wanted your details (which we provided). If we ever have another event - we would definitely use Salt Wind again and we will be recommending them to all our friends. Thanks for all your help! Mary & Jimmy :)”

Newlyn, Looe, Padstow, Mevagissey — boats land daily and the catches are at harbour markets the same morning. That's what we buy.
We don't buy frozen imported prawns and call them Cornish. Pot-caught lobsters, locally dressed crab, mackerel smoked in Cornwall. You're getting the real thing, not a supermarket platter with a Union Jack sticker.

The most common ones about our Cornish seafood platters.
Directly from Cornish day boats and harbours including Newlyn, Padstow and Looe. Everything is landed that day or the day before. We select the freshest seasonal catch available.
Our most popular options are giant pan seafood paella from 50 guests upwards (no upper limit — more guests means more pans), chilled shellfish platters with crab, lobster and prawns, and whole fish cooked over charcoal. We also do fish finger rolls and fish tacos for a more casual feel.
Yes. We always offer non-seafood alternatives alongside our fish menus. A mixed menu with one seafood dish and one meat or vegetarian option is very common. All allergens are clearly labelled.
It depends on the dish. Seafood paella is comparable in price to hog roast or BBQ. Shellfish platters with lobster and crab are a premium option. We can put together a seafood menu to suit most budgets.
