What we do

What we cater

three carts we run regularly, and a fourth option for everything else. Every menu is built around your event, your guest count and your schedule.

The carts

What we bring

Book one cart or combine several. Every menu is sized to your guest count and your schedule.

    • Cured meats, cheeses, fruit and accompaniments
    • Individual boards
    • Arranged on site so it looks its best when guests arrive

    Mini Desserts

    Individually portioned sweets for events where guests are standing and mingling — no plates, no cutlery, no queue at a dessert table.

    • One- or two-bite portions, easy to eat standing
    • Passed by staff or set out on a display
    • A mixed assortment across the tray
    • Works well alongside a charcuterie or ramen setup
  • SmileBites customized catering logo

    Custom & Anything Else

    The carts above are what we run most often, not the limit of what we do. If you have something else in mind, tell us about the event and we will put together a quote.

    • Menus built around your event and your guests
    • Dietary requirements and allergies accommodated
    • Multiple carts combined for larger events
    • Send us the details and we will quote it

Our process

How a booking works

The same sequence runs for every event, from the first inquiry to the moment we pack the cart away.

  1. Tell Us About the Event

    Send us the date, the location, roughly how many guests, and what you have in mind. If you are not sure yet, an approximate guest count is enough to start.

  2. Menu & Quote

    We put together a menu and a written quote covering food, staffing and setup, and adjust it with you until it fits the event and the budget.

  3. Confirm the Date

    Once the quote is agreed we lock in the date. Popular dates go early, so the sooner this happens the better.

  4. Final Details

    Closer to the event we confirm the final guest count, dietary requirements, the serving window and where the cart will be set up.

  5. We Prep

    Everything is prepped and portioned ahead of the event so that on the day the food is made and served fresh rather than reheated.

  6. Setup & Service

    We arrive early, set up the cart, and serve your guests through the agreed window. Our staff handle the service throughout.

  7. Clean Up

    We break down the cart and clear our area before we leave. You are not left with our cleanup.
