Nibble Away Co. are a modern Scottish wedding catering company specialising in styled grazing tables, platters and canapé-style catering that double as both food and visual centrepieces.
Using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients – including artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, fresh breads, and sweet treats – and bespoke styling to match each wedding theme, the team creates flavourful, social dining experiences that feel personal, effortless and design-led.
If they were to recommend their favourite offering, it would be a charcuterie cart – a real showstopper that adds such a bespoke touch to a wedding.
Nibble Away Co. offer a mix of set packages and fully bespoke options so couples can build something that’s the perfect fit for their day.
Their wedding services include grazing tables, canapé grazing, brunch grazing (perfect for bridal prep), evening grazing and platter drops.
Typical pricing ranges from £7.50 to £13 per head, depending on the size of the spread and level of styling. Quotes for bespoke orders are POA.
All grazing tables include full styling, layout design, and complete setup on the day, ensuring everything is ready for guests to enjoy. Their graze wall and graze cart come with the same level of styling and presentation, plus a dedicated member of staff to serve and replenish for up to two hours.
Nibble Away takes care of every detail so couples can simply relax and enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics or service.
They’re based in Lanarkshire but cover all of Scotland. A delivery and travel fee is applied depending on the location, and a clear breakdown of costs will be provided when enquiring.
Nibble Away recommends booking six to 12 months in advance for peak wedding season, as dates fill quickly. However, they’ll always try to accommodate last-minute enquiries where possible.
In terms of set-up times, they require access to your venue at least one to two hours before the event. As grazing tables require onsite styling, they also ask for a clean, food-safe surface or a table – though they can provide one if needed.

Booking food and drink suppliers for your wedding
Do wedding caterers in Scotland offer custom menus?
Yes – most Scottish wedding caterers pride themselves on creating bespoke menus. You can tailor dishes to your tastes, season and dietary needs, with many suppliers offering menu tastings to make the dining experience feel personal.
Can food and drink suppliers cater for dietary requirements?
The majority of wedding caterers will be able to offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergen-friendly options. Most will also be able to design alternative dishes that still feel part of the main menu.
How far in advance should we book our wedding caterer or bar supplier?
Top suppliers can book up 12 to 18 months ahead, especially for peak dates. If you’re planning a weekend wedding or want a specialist service (like a cocktail bar or grazing station), it's best to secure your preferred team early.
Do food and drink suppliers provide staffing and equipment?
Many do. Full-service caterers will often provide chefs, servers, kitchen equipment and tableware, while bar suppliers supply staff, glassware and stock. Always check what’s included so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
