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.

Coming up next week on The Staff Canteen
Details of an exciting competition to win Bragard chef jackets; our round up of the top food festivals in August; the second video for our July pastry chef, Martin Chiffers; our report on the five-a-side football tournament involving some of the UK's top restaurants in support of Farm Africa; Emily Watkins of the Kingham Plough features in Britain's Got Talent; and three-Michelin-star Clare Smyth of Restaurant Gordon Ramsay is August's Featured Chef with the first of two great videos.
