Salt & Fig

A design concept for a caterer who cooks on site over fire. Loud, warm and fast, because that is what the food is like and because wedding catering is bought on appetite.

Nobody books a caterer politely

Wedding catering is chosen with the eyes and the stomach, usually by a couple who have just read four identical websites full of words like bespoke and seasonal.

Salt and Fig had a genuine difference to sell: they cook everything on site rather than reheating trays from a unit forty miles away. That deserved a site with a pulse rather than another cream and serif brochure.

What we did instead

Big display type, tomato and olive and mustard, and a headline that says what the food does rather than what it is. Menus as three cards with real starting prices, so a couple can self-qualify in ten seconds.

A scrolling ribbon of what they actually cook, and a four step 'how it works' that answers the anxiety underneath every catering enquiry: what happens, and when will you tell me the price.

Prices on the page

Three menus with honest starting points. Couples who cannot afford it leave, which is a favour to everyone, and the ones who stay arrive ready.

A voice, not a brochure

The copy sounds like the chefs. Nobody says bespoke. One line promises three guests will ask for the recipe.

Appetite first

Food photography at full width immediately after the headline, before a single paragraph of explanation.

The process, answered up front

Four steps ending in 'we turn up and cook'. It quietly answers the fear that catering will be complicated.

Colour as identity

Tomato, olive and mustard on cream. Instantly recognisable next to a shortlist of cream and serif competitors.

Quick to load, quick to quote

Heavy on personality, light in weight, with an enquiry form that asks only what is needed to price the job.
