High Life Highland is on the lookout for a food operator to run a mobile food and soft drinks concession at the Ben Nevis Visitor Centre, one of Scotland’s busiest visitor attractions.
With around 275,000 visitors passing through the centre in 2025, the opportunity offers a chance to serve walkers, climbers and tourists visiting the foot of the UK’s highest mountain.
Ben Nevis Visitor Centre welcomes visitors from across the world, so this is a fantastic opportunity for a local food business to become part of that experience.
