in North Yorkshire where he held a Michelin star and four AA rosettes. In November 2007 Michael moved to The Latymer at Pennyhill Park Hotel. In 2012 Michael Wignall at The Latymer became one of only eight restaurants in the UK to be awarded five AA rosettes. This was followed in 2013 by the restaurant’s second Michelin star.

Small Contribution. Big Impact.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

 

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
