A simple bite to someone's lip does not constitute GBH. See Section 5(v) here:

So your friend must have caused some very serious injuries. GBH with intent is an extremely serious offence; it's roughly akin to 'attempted murder' and carries the same maximum sentence of life imprisonment. The 'starting point' for a sentence relating to the least serious forms of GBH with intent is 4 years. Judges are advised to examine the circumstances and pass a sentence in the range 3 to 5 years. The starting point for the most serious forms of GBH with intent (unless a life sentence is appropriate) is 13 years (with a possible range of 10 to 16 years).
