A new type of dark kitchen: meal kits from the UK’s best restaurants, delivered to your door.
Restaurant Kits was founded in 2020 as a new type of dark kitchen. We produce, portion and distribute meal kits from the UK’s best restaurant brands, direct to your door.
We have worked with Gordon Ramsay, Adam Handling, Calum Franklin and Tom Griffiths, shipped 30,000 boxes in our first year, and went on to build immersive at-home experiences.

The Iron Anniversary
Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. The struggle for the Iron Throne may be over, but you can still enjoy a Westerosi feast in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Our at-home experience pays homage to the iconic series, taking diners from the balmy climes of Dorne to the blood-stained dining halls of House Frey.
We send you top quality restaurant ingredients and instructions. You make incredible dinners.

We sell, portion and produce every kit in-house, at the premium, restaurant-led end of the market. Competitors include Dishpatch, Restokit, Plateaway, Big Night and GF2U.
Drinks add-ons, lower food costs, operational efficiencies and own-brand offerings. Link redirects from restaurant sites and socials keep acquisition costs low.
Backed by
A £1.6M EIS-approved round, raised to expand into more immersive box experiences.
The final course
Restaurant Kits has served its last box, but what it built still stands. It brought the UK’s best restaurants into 30,000 homes, then went further, with immersive at-home experiences for some of the world’s biggest entertainment brands. This page keeps that work on the table.
The people behind the build
The platform powered restaurant partner kits and branded RKX experiences, from booking sites like the Iron Anniversary to a direct-to-door commerce journey. The team behind it is still here, for partnerships and for product.
