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.


Not what we needat all, we need sunshine and warmth as the wet weather is holding lots of crops back.
The main problem crops are cauliflower and broccoli with very little available and prices are reaching crazy levels!
The best options for me are Summer Primo Cabbage, much underused but beautiful braised in butter and black pepper, it's a massive football sized cabbage for around 60p, great value.
