Chef+ has been nominated for Best Mobile Project in this year’s Wirehive 100 awards!

Our new app Chef+, in association with Essential Cuisine which launched in April, has been nominated for Best Mobile Project in this year’s Wirehive 100 awards. Celebrating the wealth of digital talent in the South of England and outside of London, the event is in its fifth year and The Staff Canteen is hoping to be there to celebrate the success of Chef+.

The app was revamped by Bespoke4Business, which offers the full digital marketing package for businesses. Chef+ has been downloaded by thousands of chefs around the UK and the world and they have been using it as a platform to share their recipes, images and news with each other.

Anthony Tilley, Sales Director at Bespoke4Business said: “We are thrilled to have been shortlisted as a finalist in the Wirehive 100 awards for the Chef+ app. The awards recognise the exciting work that is being done within the digital sector in the South East and it’s great for us to be involved. This is however, just the beginning of the Chef+ journey; there are many more features that we’re working on to further improve the user experience.”

We wanted all our members to be able to enjoy the best industry features, videos and news articles on the go - so we gave our
app, Chef+ a revamp. Perfect for time poor chefs the app will allow you to build

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.
