"Proper vegan food. Not a token side salad."
Plant-based food worth eating
Vegan catering should not feel like an apology. Too many caterers in Cornwall still treat plant-based guests as an afterthought, a lone bean burger pushed into a corner of the buffet, a couple of grilled peppers thrown onto the grill at the last minute. Salt Wind Catering does not work that way. Vegan options are built into every service we run, designed by the same kitchen team, cooked with the same care, and plated with the same attention to detail as everything else on the menu.
Whether you're planning a fully vegan event, accommodating a mix of dietary preferences, or running a corporate lunch where half the table is plant-based, the food has to stand on its own. Our menus draw on seasonal Cornish produce: Roseland Peninsula salad leaves, Tregassow Farm vegetables, Cornish new potatoes, sourdough from a Truro bakery, turned into proper dishes guests actually want to eat. Roasted stuffed peppers with herbed couscous. Smoky chickpea tagine. Charcoal-grilled halloumi and Chargrilled Mediterranean vegetables. Hummus, baba ganoush and warm flatbreads. Wood-fired flatbread paella with saffron, peppers, artichokes and butterbeans.
Every vegan item is clearly labelled with dietary tags (V for vegetarian, VG for vegan, GF for gluten-free) so guests can help themselves with confidence. For dedicated vegan events we set up separate prep areas and use dedicated utensils to eliminate cross-contamination risk. Allergen information is available on request, a single notice covers our FIR 2014 obligations as a loose-food caterer, and we will brief the team on any severe allergies you flag at quote stage.
Delivered across Cornwall and Plymouth. Min 20 guests. Order before midday for next-day delivery.
Many of our buffet menus already include vegan-friendly items, crudités & hummus, green salads, fruit platters, pasta salads. We can also adapt any menu to add more vegan options, or build a fully vegan buffet from scratch.
Cold finger buffets from £7.95pp. Get in touch with your requirements and we will put a quote together.
Severe allergies: Our kitchen handles nuts, gluten and sesame daily. For severe nut, peanut, coeliac or sesame allergies we cannot guarantee a completely trace-free environment, so please tell us at enquiry stage. We will advise honestly, and we ask that the guest keeps any prescribed medication on hand.

We would highly recommend Salt Wind Catering and will definitely be booking their services again in the future!”

“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.

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.”
