As a guide, a single-unit booking for a private event typically starts in the low hundreds, while full-site multi-trader catering for a festival is structured on a pitch fee plus commission split. Send your date and footfall estimate and we'll come back with a clear, itemised proposal — no obligation." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How far in advance should I book?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "For peak summer dates (June–September) and Christmas markets, 3–6 months ahead is sensible. For winter and shoulder-season events, 6–8 weeks is usually enough. We do take short-notice work where capacity allows — call 07726 679073 if your event is inside 4 weeks and we'll tell you straight away whether we can cover it." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What accreditations and insurance do you hold?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Every Bite Me unit and partner trader holds a Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS) 'Pass' rating, £5m public liability insurance, gas safety certification where applicable, and Personal Licence cover for any alcohol service. We share the full documentation pack with organisers ahead of SAG submissions so there's no last-minute paperwork scramble." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Which areas of the UK do you cover?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Headquartered in Perth, we cover all of Scotland as standard — Perthshire, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, the Highlands, Aberdeen and the Borders. For larger festivals and brand activations we regularly travel into England and the wider UK. Travel, accommodation and overnight crew costs are quoted upfront and never added on later." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can you cater for vegan, vegetarian and allergen-specific guests?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. Our trader network covers vegan street food, gluten-free options, halal where requested, and full allergen matrices on every menu. For events with high dietary requirements we'll build the trader mix specifically around that, rather than tacking on a single 'vegan option' as an afterthought." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you need power and water on-site?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Not necessarily. Every Bite Me unit runs its own generator and carries onboard water, so we can trade fully off-grid. If your site has serviced pitches we'll plug in to reduce noise — just confirm what's available at the planning stage and we'll spec the units accordingly." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can you handle alcohol licensing for the event?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. Our pop-up bar operates under a Personal Licence holder on every shift, and we can either trade under your event's existing premises licence or apply for an Occasional Licence on your behalf through the relevant Scottish Licensing Board. Allow at least 28 days for an Occasional Licence application." } } ] } --- [![Bite Me Events logo](/assets/bite-me-logo-JVN35Tbs.png)](/) [Home](/) Services Products [Our Work](/our-work) [Reviews](/reviews) [About](/about) [Promoters](/promoters) [Traders](/traders) [Contact](/contact) [Call Us](tel:+447726679073) ![Bite Me food truck and bar serving crowds at Scone Palace on a sunny day](/assets/scone-palace-busy-CJB-JUvg.jpg) Full-Service Event Catering Supplier # WE SUPPLY THE ENTIRE CATERING FOR YOUR EVENT Our own units plus a curated network of 25+ vetted traders — street food, world cuisine, sweet treats, and specialist drinks.

Sites range from city-centre squares to grass parks, castle grounds and remote Highland fields. Power is rarely guaranteed, water often has to be trailered in, and the weather can change a service plan in an hour. Bite Me has built its operation around those realities — every Bite Me unit runs self-sufficient generators, holds onboard water, and is graded for off-grid deployment as well as fully serviced sites. Licensing is the other variable organisers underestimate. Alcohol service in Scotland is governed by the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005, which means an Occasional Licence application through the relevant Licensing Board — Perth & Kinross, City of Edinburgh, Glasgow City and Highland Council each have their own lead times and quirks. Our pop-up bar operates under a Personal Licence holder on every shift, and we'll work with your event's premises licence or apply for an Occasional Licence on your behalf where needed. On the food side, every unit and partner trader holds a current Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS) "Pass" rating, £5m public liability insurance, and gas safety certification where applicable. Documentation is shared with event organisers in a single pack — no chasing individual traders for paperwork. For organisers running events under local authority safety advisory groups (SAGs), we provide everything needed for sign-off in advance: HACCP, allergen matrices, fire risk assessment and pitch layout. That's the difference between a catering supplier and a catering partner — and it's why promoters across Scotland keep coming back to Bite Me for full-site catering rather than booking 25 individual traders themselves. Our Approach ## LOCAL TRADERS AT LOCAL EVENTS Other operators fill events with whoever's available. We do it differently — local traders get priority at events in their own area. We only look further afield when the event demands it. ### Local Traders First We always look to local traders first. If there's a quality operator on the doorstep of an event, they get first refusal. It's their patch — they should be trading on it. ### Fair Opportunity We believe local traders deserve access to the events happening in their own communities. We don't bus in operators from across the country when there's talent right there. ### Strength When Needed If an event needs more capacity or a cuisine type that isn't available locally, we bring in trusted traders from our wider network. The local team always comes first.
