Our Story: Elevating On-Set Dining.
The ReelMenus Journey
A catering company for the film & TV industry that prides itself on producing food that is reminiscent of fine dining whilst on location. With owners who have been friends for decades, our head chef and team members have worked on productions for Netflix, Sky and Disney, bringing the same level of culinary ambition to every single shoot.
It started with our head chef, whose Michelin-star training and genuine passion for food set the standard for everything we do. Supported by a tight-knit team with backgrounds in hospitality operations, engineering, and logistics, they created a catering company that treats every on-set meal with the care and quality it deserves.
What started as a conversation between old friends about how crew catering could be better has evolved into a company that serves productions of every scale, from commercials to feature films, always with the same uncompromising standards.
"We believe every meal on set should be an experience, not just sustenance."
Founded on Friendship
Kieron Hackwith
Co-Founder & Head Chef
Fifteen years at the pinnacle of fine dining, from The Greyhound in Beaconsfield (3 AA Rosettes, Best Restaurant) to Michelin-starred kitchens at Hinds Head in Bray and The Royal Oak in Paley Street. Kieron then opened The Plough in Shiplake, earning critical acclaim for his commitment to sustainability. That same uncompromising standard now defines every ReelMenus service.
"From Michelin-star kitchens to movie sets, our journey has always been about culinary passion."
Lewis McLellan
Co-Founder & Operations Lead
The driving force behind ReelMenus' seamless day-to-day operations, Lewis brings a rare blend of engineering precision and genuine passion for food. With a background in Engineering and Transport, he ensures every logistical detail runs like clockwork, from vehicle routing to on-location setup, so Kieron can stay focused on the food. When he does step into the kitchen, his love for slow-cooked meats and fresh, seasonal ingredients shines through in every dish.
What Makes ReelMenus Different?
Restaurant-Quality On Location
We bring restaurant quality food to TV and film sets with a service to match. Every dish is crafted with the same precision and care you'd expect from a top London restaurant, plated beautifully, served with professionalism, no matter how remote the location.
Professional & Approachable
We communicate with productions and crew staff in a friendly yet professional manner. Our team integrates seamlessly into the rhythm of any set, understanding the unique pressures of production schedules.
Tailored Packages
Every production is different. We have the ability to form individually tailored packages for productions of any scale, from intimate indie shoots to large-scale studio productions, ensuring you only pay for exactly what you need.
Conscious Catering
Sustainability isn't an afterthought. It's woven into everything we do. From seasonal menus and foraged ingredients to minimising food waste on set, we practise conscious catering with the environment in mind.
Our Shared Values.
Our Vision: Uncompromising Quality, Accessible Pricing.
We exist in a sweet spot that most catering companies overlook. ReelMenus is committed to providing premium, fine-dining quality at an accessible price point, proving that exceptional on-set catering doesn't have to come with an exceptional price tag.
Our vision is to become the go-to name in film and television catering across the UK, expanding our reach while never compromising on the quality, sustainability, and personal touch that define who we are. Every production we serve brings us one step closer to that goal.
