Catering

Food cooked from the hearth and soul.

 

The Salt Box brings you a relaxed farm to table feasting experience, cooked over an open fire. We can cater for all occasions whether it be an intimate gathering, wedding, corporate event or just a big old knees up for your family and friends just for the hell of it.

 

We understand that no two gatherings are the same, so if our menus aren’t quite what you’re looking for then please do get in contact and we can discuss bespoke menus to suit. The Salt Box has a nose to tail and root to fruit ethos, which means our menus don’t always contain prime cuts of meat and fancy ingredients. We like to get creative and utilise as much of a plant, fruit or animal that we can.

 

Below are a selection of sample menus for Spring/Summer, with the BBQ menus designed for larger more informal gatherings and the private dining menus aimed for smaller more intimate dining. All menus are designed to be prepared on an open-fire.

  • Beckie & Christian prepared a very tasty and original meal for 22 friends as a birthday supper. They took pride in how the food was presented along with a personal and professional touch. Our friends were truly impressed! We look forward to our next event with them.

    Philip M. (Private Catering)

  • Catered for 150 people at my wedding, absolutely smashed it! All guests took time to rave about the food included two long time, extremely high quality, chefs. I quote one of them: "the food has been on point all day, easily the best wedding food I have had!". Couldn't recommend more!!!

    Mike F. (Private Catering)

  • I would absolutely recommend Beckie and Christian for any event or occasion. Our menu was so thoroughly thought out and personal to our party. The quality of the food, presentation and flavours were all outstanding. The feedback from everyone was so positive, particularly for those with intolerances and allergies as they had previously never been so well catered for!

    Sarah M. (Private Catering)

  • Christian and Beckie's talents are vast and should be tried and enjoyed by anyone lucky enough to book them for a private function or find them at an event or food fair.

    Michaela A. (Supper Clubs)

  • It's simply stunning what The Salt Box can deliver in such a remote location, the quality and flavour of all the food was simply mouth wateringly good. We cannot recommend Christian and Beckie enough, beautiful people cooking up beautiful food and all with a smile! Thanks Salt Box can't wait to work with you again.

    Scott (The Surrey Hills Adventure Company)

  • These two know how to make memorable food and flavours that complement each other perfectly! I wish they could cook for me everyday!

    Georgia B. (Private Catering)

  • The Salt Box catered for a party at our home. It was over six months a go but us and our guests still talk about it now. They did a marvellous range of food and was hugely professional on the night and clean up. Look forward to having them round again.

    Dan M. (Private Catering)

  • A wonderful meal for 8 tired American golfers prepared at the home we were renting. It was as good if not better than any top end restaurant. Every man in a group was appreciative of the service, professionalism, and especially the quality of the food we were served! We will definitely reach out to The Salt Box again.

    Paul F. (Private Catering)

  • Fantastic, local food company offering great products using local produce. Would definitely recommend.
