ABOUT US

At Nomad Crew Catering, we bring over a decade of experience in fuelling film and TV productions.

Ellie Beaton has spent the last 10 years leading one of the UK’s premier location catering companies. With a proven track record in building high-performing teams, she ensures you’re never without a chef, no matter where your shoot takes you. From staff recruitment to on-set logistics, Ellie oversees every detail to prevent service breakdowns before they happen. A trained nutritional therapist, she’s passionate about meeting the dietary needs of your entire crew — all while working within the realities of your production budget. When she’s not on set, Ellie can usually be found in her allotment, where she grows fresh produce that’s made its way into more than a few of our productions.

Nathan Beaton, a former touring musician, knows first-hand the importance of good food and a warm welcome on the road. A cancer survivor and lifelong surfer, he understands the power of nutrition to fuel an active, resilient body. With experience managing an operator’s license and mobile kitchen fleet, Nathan ensures that Nomad Crew Catering is able to keep your cast and crew fuelled 365 days a year. He also brings proven sales and marketing expertise to the table — having helped one of the UK’s top location catering companies grow year on year and drawing on a background in artist management and music industry marketing to grow brands with heart and impact.

Together, we bring a unique blend of operational expertise and personal care to every production — committed to making your crew feel at home, wherever you are.
