Our World BBQ & Roasts menus all sit within a few pounds of each other, so you pick the food you want rather than the one your budget reaches. Every menu carries vegan options as standard.

Food your guests will remember.

We cater weddings the same way we cater everything else. Same menus, same prices, and couples keep telling us the food is the best part of the day, so something must be working.

Our meat comes from a Cornish butcher and our bread from a Cornish bakery. Cornish suppliers, from the start.

We do relaxed, feast-style catering: delivered buffets for guests to help themselves, and on-site services like charcoal BBQ cooked and hog roast carved at your venue. The kind of food people actually want to eat, generous, fresh, properly made.

No silver service or formal table service. If that is what you need, we will point you in the right direction. If you want great food, honest prices and a caterer who turns up and gets on with it. We are your people.

How it works

Cooked and carved on-site

BBQ and giant pan are cooked at your venue on real charcoal or gas, in front of your guests. The hog roast is smoked for up to 16 hours in our Redruth kitchen the day before, then carved at your venue. We are fully self-contained. No venue kitchen needed.

Hog Roast from £9.15pp deliveredBBQ from £9.95ppGiant Pan from £12.25pp

Drop-and-go buffets

We make it fresh, deliver it to your venue and set it up. You and your guests serve yourselves. Cold buffets, hot buffets, afternoon tea, seafood platters, plates and cutlery included.

How the day runs

Your Wedding Day

A typical wedding-day timeline. Exact timings flex to your run-of-show. We agree call times in writing before the day.

Step 1
Morning
Delivery & arrival
Cook team and rig arrive 2 hours ahead of service. The pork arrives already smoked, so that time goes on setting up and getting the BBQ or pan going.
Step 2
Afternoon
Setup & first service
Gazebo, carving station and serving line set out. Food ready for the wedding breakfast slot, guests help themselves, the cook team keeps the line stocked and topped up.
Step 3
Evening
Late-night add-ons
Optional Late Night Smokehouse, pulled pork buns, dirty fries, bacon rolls, fires up after the speeches. Usually the most photographed part of the night.
Step 4
Next morning
Pack-down & collection
Our kit, our rubbish, gone. Where the venue allows, we leave equipment overnight and return the next morning to clear, so you’re not packing down a rig at midnight.

Everything we do, available for your wedding

Before you book

The practical detail

What's included: and what isn't

We are a cook team, not a front-of-house team.

Freshly prepared, food
Locally sourced ingredients
Cook team on-site for live cooking (confirmed on booking)
All equipment, gazebos, disposables
Fully self-contained for live cooking: no venue kitchen needed
Vegetarian, vegan and dietary options

The Salt Wind Catering Style

Relaxed feast-style service: your guests help themselves, no stiff formality
Generous sharing platters, not precious plated portions
Straightforward event pricing: no inflated 'wedding tax'
Fully catered food so you can choose your own bar

What we don't do: so you can plan around it

We are a cook team, not a front-of-house team. That is a deliberate choice and it is why the food is what you are paying for rather than a room full of staff.

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 private chef service. We cater events, not in-house dining for a household.
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 private dining. Sharing platters and live cooking are what we do well.

If you need silver service, a private chef or full front-of-house, we are not the right fit, and we would rather say so now than three emails in.

“Saltwind delivered us a buffet on Monday for our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious, everybody loved it. Mark and his team were also brilliant, so easy to deal with and went above and beyond. We had one vegan guest and Mark did a separate portion especially for them. Everything else in the main buffet had stickers in If suitable for vegans. Such a great company I’d recommend 100% without hesitation.”
Stephen “Trumpet” C·Wedding Buffet·

“These guys are amazing. The food is so good. So much better than what we expected at the price we paid. Had a buffet yesterday In Newquay. Amazing value for money. The food was so amazing. A 40 people buffet for a wedding and everybody loved it. The quality is so high, and Mark is amazing and really values his customers. Done an extra vegan portion as well without charging extra. Would use them again every time.”

Stephen Clyde·Wedding Buffet: 40 guests

“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!”

Kate Sullivan·Giant Pan: Wedding

“Had our wedding buffet with yourselves and it was amazing, no issues and would definitely recommend 😁 thankyou ❤️”

Danyelle Munden·Wedding Buffet

“Catered for our wedding and would highly recommend. Amazing service and really good pricing considering the amount and quality of the food. We catered for 40 guests and although we had less turn up there was still way more than 40 people's worth of food. Really good range, plenty of different things for everyone, and they were more than happy to cater for our gluten-free and vegan guests, who told us the food was great”

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide waiting staff for weddings?

No. For BBQ and giant pan our cook team cooks on site, and a hog roast is carved there; guests help themselves. Buffets are drop-and-go: delivered, then we leave. You and your guests serve yourselves. No silver service, no waiting staff, no front-of-house.

What wedding catering options do you offer?

Everything we do for any other event, hog roast from £9.15pp delivered, BBQ from £9.95pp on-site, giant pan from £12.25pp, buffets from £7.95pp, afternoon tea, seafood platters, chocolate fountain from £153.00. Same menus, same prices, no wedding markup.

Do you cook on-site at wedding venues?

Yes. BBQs and giant pans are cooked live at your venue; hog roast joints are smoked overnight in our kitchen, then finished and carved in front of your guests. Fully self-contained, no kitchen, power or water needed.

Do you charge more for wedding catering?

No. Our prices are the same regardless of event type. A buffet for a wedding costs the same as for a birthday or corporate event. No wedding surcharges.

How far in advance should I book wedding catering?

4–8 weeks ahead is sensible, especially for summer dates. For events more than 21 days away, a 30% deposit secures the date and the balance is due 7 days before. For events within 21 days, the full amount is payable on confirmation. The deposit is non-refundable, see our terms and conditions for details.

What happens in bad weather?

We bring gazebos as standard and cook outdoors in most conditions. If your venue has indoor space, we can set up there. Buffets are delivered inside, so weather is not a factor for those.

Vegan & Plant-Based Catering Cornwall

Vegan & Plant-Based Event Catering Across Cornwall Every event has vegan guests now. Whether it's two people at a birthday, half the team at a corporate lunch, or an entire wedding party, plant-based catering isn't niche anymore. It's expected. The problem is how most caterers handle it. A sad side salad. A plate of hummus and carrot sticks while everyone else eats properly. A token veggie option that's clearly been thrown together as an afterthought. That's not catering, that's an insult....
