“The fantastic finger buffet for 20 people. The choices and quality of the food was excellent. And all delivered freshly made / cooked and on time. Thanks Saltwind.”

Brett Spencer·Finger Buffet·

“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”

“Salt Wind Catering provided the food for our Dad's Funeral Wake. Previously we had a buffet from them for Mum's 90th birthday. On both occasions the food was absolutely perfect. I will use this company again without hesitation , the way it arrived , all boxed and ready to go made it so easy to just take the lids off and start eating ! Thankyou for lovely food in a convenient way , it made both occasions very special.”

“I have used Salt Wind for a few work events now and can highly recommend. Always tasty, fresh and delivered on time and have received high praise from all attendees”

“What can we say. We had a fantastic day for my Mums birthday on 24th August. We found Salt Wind online and liked the look of the their options compared with some others we saw. They were fantastic from start to finish. Mark answered our emails promptly which gave us a lot of confidence in their service. On the day they arrived right on time, and the buffet food and pasties were delicious, as well as being boxed in a great way for us to arrange. We would definitely use them again for any future event.”

Yes. We offer a Kids Party Buffet from £6.75 per child and Kids Picnic Bags from £5.45. For mixed-age events, our adult buffets work well alongside the kids menu — just tell us numbers for each when you request a quote.

What's included — and what isn't

We would rather you knew both halves before you enquire than find out later.

Included as standard

  • Made that morning. Prepared fresh in our Redruth kitchen on the day, not the night before.
  • Delivered and set out. Arranged on the table ready to serve before your guests arrive. Nothing to cook or plate at your end.
  • Disposable plates, cutlery and napkins. Included as standard so nothing has to be hired in.
  • Dietary options. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free at no surcharge. Tell us the numbers when you book.

What we don't do

We are a cook team, not a front-of-house team. That is deliberate — it is why the food is what you are paying for.

  • No waiting or front-of-house staff. Our cook team cooks; your guests help themselves.
  • No silver service or plated meals. We never plate for guests — it is feast-style throughout.
  • No crockery, glassware or linen hire. Disposable plates, cutlery and napkins are included; anything smarter comes from your venue or hire company.
  • No bar, drinks service or corkage. We cater the food so you are free to sort drinks however suits you.
  • No grazing tables or private dining. Sharing platters and live cooking are what we do well.

Travel is quoted before you book, never added afterwards. Not sure whether we fit? Call 01209 206255and we will tell you straight.
