Charcoal BBQ Catering

Real charcoal.
Real flames.
No shortcuts.

The moment lumpwood catches and Cornish oak starts to smoke, something changes — guests drift towards the heat, the air fills with that unmistakable smell, and the whole event comes alive. That theatre is what sets a Salt Wind BBQ apart from anything cooked on gas or a griddle.

Every cut of meat comes from RJ Trevarthen in Penryn — properly sourced, properly butchered. We cook over open flame because flavour demands it, and because your guests deserve the real thing.

Delivered parcels from £7.50pp, or our pitmaster team cooks live at your venue from £9.00pp. No venue kitchen or power needed — completely self-sufficient.
