Show Stand Catering

Turn your stand into a destination

Salt Wind Catering delivers ready-to-serve buffets, sharing platters and bulk hot Cornish pasties direct to exhibitor stands at Cornwall's agricultural and county shows — the Royal Cornwall Show, Stithians Show and events across the county. Everything arrives at your pitch before the gates open. You set it out, offer it to your visitors, and focus on making connections.

The stands people remember are the ones that gave them a reason to stop. A visitor with a proper Cornish pasty in hand is a visitor who lingers — and a stand with hand-sliced charcuterie and local cheese reads as professional and generous before you have said a word. We already do exactly this for clients like Savills: a quality spread delivered first thing, laid out on the stand, available for every visitor who walks up.

We are based in Redruth — about 20 minutes from the Royal Cornwall showground at Wadebridge and 10 minutes from Stithians. We are fully self-contained, so all you need to provide is a table.

What we bring to your stand

Mix and match across the days. Every quote is built to your expected footfall — no rigid packages, no locked-in quantities.

Sharing platters & display buffets

from £8.95pp

The Savills model and our most popular option for exhibitors — Cornish charcuterie, local cheeses, fresh breads, chutneys and handmade bites, arranged and ready to set out. Scales from a compact display to a full multi-board spread. Minimum 20 covers.

Hot Cornish pasties

from £2.50 each

Freshly baked, hand-crimped Cornish pasties delivered hot in bulk each morning — cocktail, small, medium or large. The most cost-effective way to make your stand welcoming. Minimum 20 pasties.

Breakfast drops

from £6.50pp

Bacon and sausage baps, pastries and a hot drink delivered to your pitch before the gates open. Feed your team first, then set out the visitor spread. Minimum 10.

Prices are indicative entry rates and gross (no VAT to add). Orders over £1,500 include free travel; below that a mileage supplement may apply from Redruth — confirmed in writing before you commit.

The shows we cover

Royal Cornwall Show — Wadebridge

Cornwall's biggest annual event — three days at the Wadebridge showground with over 1,000 trade stands and around 120,000 visitors. Vehicle movement is tightly managed during show hours, which is exactly why early delivery to your pitch makes sense. Book ahead for next year's show.

Stithians Show — near Penryn

One of the UK's largest one-day agricultural shows, held in July and right on our doorstep — a 10-minute drive from our Redruth base. One day means every hour counts: a morning delivery means your stand is welcoming from the moment the gates open.

Exhibiting at other shows through the season — Liskeard, the Cornish village shows and county fairs? We can package your stand catering across all your dates and take the whole thing off your plate.

Who it works for

Estate & land agents

A quality spread on the stand all morning that says you are the professionals here. This is exactly what we do for Savills.

Agricultural & machinery suppliers

Bulk pasties for a team who have been on the pitch since dawn, plus a sharing platter for visiting clients — both needs in one order.

Corporate sponsors & national brands

Catering sourced from quality Cornish producers and presented to a standard that matches the investment in your stand.

Producers, charities & community stands

A bulk pasty order is affordable and practical — keeps your team fuelled without leaving the stall, and gives volunteers something decent to eat.

We have catered for the NHS, National Grid, Cornwall Council, WWF, Savills and Omaze UK — the same quality to a two-person stall as to a corporate hospitality suite.

Across Cornwall's show calendar

Based in Redruth — minutes from both main showgrounds. We deliver stand catering and event food across Cornwall, including Wadebridge, Falmouth, Truro, Newquay, Bodmin and Liskeard.

Vegan, vegetarian & gluten-free options available on request — info@saltwind.catering

Severe allergies: Our kitchen handles nuts and gluten daily — for severe nut, peanut, hazelnut allergies or coeliac disease we cannot guarantee a trace-free environment. Please tell us at enquiry stage so we can advise.

Show stand catering FAQs

How far in advance should I book stand catering?
As early as you can. The Royal Cornwall Show (June) and Stithians Show (July) are the busiest dates in the Cornish show calendar and stand catering slots fill fast — especially the main public day. We take bookings from the start of the year, so once you know your stand is confirmed, get in touch to hold your dates.
What time do you deliver to the showground?
Before the gates open — typically between 6:30am and 8am depending on your stand and the show. Everything arrives ready to set out, so your pitch is stocked and welcoming the moment the first visitors arrive. We know the access routes and vehicle-movement restrictions at the main Cornish showgrounds and time deliveries around them.
Can I order different things across the days at the Royal Cornwall Show?
Yes. Most exhibitors vary their order day by day — sharing platters for the main client day, bulk hot pasties for the busy public day. We adjust quantities for each day with no locked-in packages.
How many visitors can I cater for from my stand?
From a compact stand expecting 20–30 visitors a day up to large corporate setups hosting 100+. We scale the quantity and presentation to your expected footfall. Minimum order is 20 covers for buffets and platters, or 20 pasties.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, just let us know in advance and we label everything clearly. Our kitchen handles gluten and nuts, so for severe allergies we will talk through exactly what we can prepare safely.
Do I need to provide anything?
Just a table or surface on your stand to set the food out. We are fully self-contained and bring everything else — platters, packaging, napkins and serving equipment. If you need us to provide a serving surface too, we can.
