Meet the Team
Every meal begins in our Wiltshire Kitchens, where our award-winning Chefs Phil Rimmer and Jethro Lawrence bring their culinary expertise to each recipe, honed through years in the UK’s top kitchens, including cooking for royalty and training under a Michelin-starred chef. They ensure every meal is both delicious and nutritionally balanced.
Working closely with our Dietitian and Nutritionists, they refine each dish through careful tasting and testing before it’s scaled up for production, making sure every meal meets the high standards our customers rely on. Their passion and expertise turn every recipe into a meal we’re proud to serve.

Why apetito?
Aiming for the Best
We only use the best ingredients to create our delicious, chef-prepared meals, helping people to eat for health.
Food Everyone to Enjoy
We want everyone to enjoy mealtimes, so we’ve created hundreds of tasty meals to suit all preferences and diets. Our customers regularly test our kitchen samples and share their ideas.
Food that's Healthy and Nutritious
Our chef’s work with our in-house dietician and nutritionist to create a range of delicious meals that cater to a variety of health and nutritional needs, from difficulties swallowing to malnutrition.
Food that Only Does Good
We’re proud of what goes into our meals, but we’re also proud of what comes out! In recent years, we’ve dramatically reduced our ingredients list to exclude any unnecessary salt, sugar and additives in meals, leaving only those ingredients that contribute positively to our customers’ health and wellbeing.
We Put Food Safety First
Our strict nutrition and allergen control process ensures no food leaves us without thorough checks in our on-site laboratories. This approach means patients can enjoy their meals, with the guarantee they are getting the right nutrition and avoiding harmful allergens.
