Everything you need to know about booking a Scottish Pizza Co popup, from quotes and set-up to dietary needs and what happens on the day.

Booking & pricing
Pizza Only starts from £500 for 25 pizzas indoors (£20 each), or £800 for 50 pizzas outdoors, our outdoor minimum. The price per pizza drops as numbers grow: £16 from 50, £14 from 120 and £12 from 200 (2026 prices; 2027 from £575). Pizza, sides & salads starts from £675, Half day catering from £1,500, Pizza & BBQ from £1,850 and Full day catering from £2,450. There's no travel charge anywhere in our service area. Use our pricing estimator for a guide price.
Start with our pricing estimator. It gives you a guide price for your package in a couple of minutes. Then email bookings@scottishpizza.co with your date, venue, guest numbers, the time you want service to start, and what the event is — a wedding, a birthday party, or whatever you're celebrating — and we'll send you a confirmed quote with a full breakdown. Dietary requirements aren't needed right from the get-go.
Yes. We offer tastings, or you can come along to one of our public events. In the off-season, you can come to the farm and try our food.
Our prices for private bookings include our Pizza Pop-Up Station, chefs and serving staff, and quality paper plates and napkins. Cutlery is included when you need it — mainly for sides, salads and cheesecakes — since pizza doesn't usually need it. There’s no travel charge anywhere in our service area.
As a rule of thumb, plan for one pizza per guest. If you're serving plenty of other food on the day, you can book fewer, so just let us know what else is on and we'll help you get the numbers right.
For outdoor pop-up events, the minimum is 50 pizzas. Smaller pop-ups indoors are available from 25 pizzas — usually more local, intimate, family-style events. From 50 pizzas up, we can do indoor or outdoor. That's from £500 indoors or £800 outdoors. You'll find all the tiers and prices on our pricing estimator.
Yes. A deposit secures your date: 25% for events this calendar year, or 10% for events in later years. The balance is due two weeks before your event. If your event is two weeks away or less, the full amount is due when you book.
Book your minimum guest numbers. You can increase guest numbers up to one week before your event, but you can't decrease them once you're booked. Food quantities, such as pizzas, sides and salads, are fixed at what you booked. Within one week of your event, no changes can be made.
Your deposit is non-refundable. If you need to change the date, you can do that free of charge with at least two weeks' notice, as long as we have an alternative date available.
Please choose your menu options no later than 1 week before your event. For pizza, you get Margherita and Pepperoni plus any 2 more from our pizza menu. Indoor cooks for 50 pizzas or fewer include Margherita and Pepperoni plus 1 more. You also choose 3 sides or salads, in any mix, and 3 BBQ mains if you've booked BBQ.
We don't do plated service. Shuffling hot pizzas indoors to a buffet table is included at no extra cost. Sit-down table service — where guests are seated for a meal and we bring pizza to the tables for people to help themselves — is £4 per person. That's most often for weddings; corporate sit-down meals are unusual for us.
We cover the majority of Scotland: the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Ayrshire, Dundee, Aberdeenshire, Inverness and all towns within these areas. There’s no travel charge anywhere in our service area. Not sure if we cover you? Send us your venue postcode and we’ll confirm.
Yes, but it works differently. Public and pay-on-the-day events (fairs, markets, street food and so on) don't use our private booking estimator. Get in touch with the details and we'll talk it through case by case.
Set-up & venue
Yes — we can cook outdoors or indoors. Our set-up works either way. Most of the time we're outdoors, but we can also offer indoors when the facilities are suitable. We bring our full pizza-oven popup set-up whether you're in a garden, a field, a marquee or a venue hall.
Outdoors, the standard set-up needs a fairly flat area of about 3 × 3 metres. For larger events where there's more food on offer, we use about 4.5 × 3 metres. Larger weddings need both — the 3 × 3 and the 4.5 × 3 metre set-ups. Grass or patio are both absolutely fine.
Indoors, for smaller events we only need a two-metre workbench. Where there's the room, we usually like to bring two three-metre telescopic tables, so we need about 3 × 2 metres of space.
We need to be able to drive close to the set-up spot to unload. Once we're unloaded, we can park somewhere else if needed. If access at your venue is tricky or busy, just mention it when you book.
For weddings — which in Scotland are indoors because of the rain, though outdoor spaces can still be used alongside — it's really important that our van can stay parked very close to where the gazebo is set up. We use it as storage as well as for unloading, and that closeness to where we're cooking matters a lot.
Outdoors, nothing — no electricity or water. We bring everything ourselves, including our own ovens.
Indoors, all we need is a normal UK plug socket nearby. Depending on the size of the event we use one or two indoor ovens.
If pizza is being served indoors — whether we're cooking outdoors or indoors — the venue can provide their own buffet table, or we can bring one.
Our minimum for cooking outdoors is 50 pizzas. For smaller bookings we can do it, but we usually only do that indoors. You can book a small party outdoors, but the minimum cost will be for fifty pizzas.
Yes. The barbecue is cooked outdoors only, but your event doesn't have to be outdoors — guests can come outside, grab their food, and enjoy the party wherever they want. You can book Pizza & BBQ, a Half day with a Pizza & BBQ main, or a full-day package with an evening barbecue (or barbecue as the main with pizza in the evening). Our Standard Barbecue starts from £14 per guest (2027: £17). When you book, you choose 3 mains and each guest has one. Sides and garnishes are set out buffet style; guests collect their mains from the outdoor BBQ kitchen, and there's no table service for the barbecue. Add sharing platters (+£6 per guest, or +£6 per BBQ main on Pizza & BBQ) and you get sharing platters of cured meats, cheeseboards, Sweet 3-bean Salad, Leafy Italian Salad and Garlic & Lemon Couscous. See the pricing estimator for the options.
Yes! Our Pizza & BBQ service brings fresh pizza, BBQ mains, sides and salads together in one service, running anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. Everything is cooked fresh outdoors at our pop-up kitchen, and guests come up, grab what they fancy, and get back to the party. The minimum booking is 50 pizzas, 50 Standard Barbecue mains and 50 sides or salads (for a Half day with a Pizza & BBQ main, 100 sides or salads). When you book, you choose 3 BBQ mains and each guest has one. Use the pricing estimator to see your price.
Yes! For our Pizza & BBQ service (1–4 hrs), the cooking always happens outdoors at our pop-up kitchen, but we can serve it to your guests indoors. With our indoor buffet service, we bring the pizza and BBQ inside, lay it out on our buffet tables, and keep it topped up. That costs £3 per person, because it needs extra serving staff. Whether indoor serving works depends on how far the outdoor cooking space is from where the food is served, so let us know your venue layout and we'll confirm.
For our Pizza & BBQ service we always bring our large pop-up kitchen, so we need a fairly flat outdoor area of about 4.5 × 3 metres.
Food & dietary needs
We use gluten-free flour and gluten-free dough when you tell us how many you need in advance — that's included. We make our own gluten-free dough as well. We can't call them gluten-free pizzas, though. We use the same ovens and preparation facilities, and we don't have tight controls over wheat in the air or flour elsewhere, so there is a risk of flour crossover.
We're sorry, but no. All our pizzas are cooked in the same ovens, so we can't make pizza that's safe for guests with coeliac disease. We'd rather be honest with you than take any chances.
Yes. There are vegetarian options on our pizza menu, and we can bring vegan cheese. Vegan guests just need to ask the team on the day and we'll make one up for them.
For weddings with table service, vegetarians and vegans need to pre-order their options so we know where they're sitting and can bring them their own pizza to the table, rather than as part of the buffet-style rounds.
Please let us know as early as you can. We've made plenty of tweaks for guests over the years, from onion- and garlic-free pizzas to dairy-free cheese, and we'll always tell you honestly what's possible with our menu.
We don't have a separate children's menu. A lot of young people get put off by the quality of pizza they usually get — what we've found is they love ours, and they're more likely to try different flavours because of it. Very young guests tend to go for the Margherita more often, and half a pizza is usually fine when you're working out how much they need. Include them in your numbers when you book and we'll help you get the quantity right.
If we have any dough left over, we'll stretch, top and cook it, then box it up for people to grab later in the evening, or to take home. Pizzas going home aren't cut — we keep them boxed up whole so you can reheat them that evening or the next day. Heat the oven to full blast, pop the pizza in, and when the cheese starts bubbling, it's ready to come out and eat.
On the day
Most of the time we set up our Pizza Pop-Up Station outdoors, stretch, top and cook pizzas fresh, slice them, and serve buffet-style on wooden platters — grab a plate, grab a napkin, and grab and mingle.
In advance we look at the weather, and we usually know beforehand if it's going to be bad. We can prepare in one of two ways: shuffle pizzas in and out with us, which works fine; or flick to cooking indoors with our indoor ovens. Sporadic rain is different — there's not much we can do in preparation for that; we just quickly flip to serving pizzas indoors if it happens.
If guests are sitting down for a meal (usually a wedding; corporate sit-downs are rare for us), we can do table service at £4 per person: we don't plate up, we bring pizza to the tables in a few short rounds so everyone can help themselves to a mix of your chosen toppings, with sides and salads shared on the tables. Just moving pizzas indoors to a buffet table isn't charged as table service — that's included. Table service is for pizza, sides and salads only: the barbecue never has table service. Its sides and garnishes are set out buffet style, and guests collect their mains from the outdoor BBQ kitchen.
For bigger, faster-paced events where everyone needs feeding in a short window, we keep hot pizzas coming so guests can grab and go without a long queue. Plates and napkins are included either way. Cutlery comes with things like sides, salads and cheesecakes — pizza itself usually doesn't need it.
Arrival times really depend on the event, but our standard is 1.5 hours before the event starts — that gives us time to set up and get the ovens up to temperature. For weddings — including all-day and half-day weddings — we get there a lot earlier.
For pizza, sides and salads — or just pizza — service is typically one to three hours. Anything up to around 50 pizzas — and up to about 80, or even 100 — we can usually do in a two-hour service. For 120 pizzas and above, it can be one to four hours.
Half-day and full-day weddings are different — for those, we're there for you for the length of the package, serving as the day needs.
For private events, people sometimes ask us to stay a bit longer — four or five hours on occasion. Depending on how much you've ordered, there may be an adjustment in price if you want us there beyond our standard service. We'll make that clear on your quote. We're quite flexible.
Outdoor events go ahead. In advance we look at the weather, and we usually know beforehand if it's going to be bad. We can prepare in one of two ways: shuffle pizzas in and out with us, which works fine; or flick to cooking indoors with our indoor ovens. Sporadic rain is different — there's not much we can do in preparation for that; we just quickly flip to serving pizzas indoors if it happens. If you're worried about the weather, mention it when you book and we'll talk it through.
Extras
Yes. Dessert, such as our build-your-own cheesecakes, is an optional extra. We can also offer an array of other desserts that are just as yummy — depending on what you're looking for, just get in touch. It's currently £7, £7.50 or £8 per guest for events in 2026, 2027 or 2028. See the pricing estimator for the price on your date.
Yes, we offer all that. You can add sides and salads, canapés and an evening buffet as packages, or pick and mix to suit your event. Use the pricing estimator to build your package and see prices.
It's a lighter evening spread of high-quality food, served on biodegradable palm leaf platters. It's £6 less per person than our Evening Grazing Table. With the Lighter evening buffet, our team won't stay through to the end of the night.
It's called Canapés, Main Meal (Pizza, Sides & Salads) & Evening Buffet, and it covers your guests from the drinks reception right through to the evening — ideal for weddings. We take care of everything with the full-day package — all the food, top to bottom. For the evening, choose our Evening Grazing Table, the Lighter evening buffet or our Standard Barbecue. With the barbecue, you can also have it as the main meal with pizza in the evening. That’s priced like the Standard Barbecue, and any extra evening guests are charged at the pizza evening rate. Add sharing platters to the barbecue for +£6 per guest. Either way, you choose 3 mains when you book and each guest has one. See the pricing estimator for details.
