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
We've got loads of great stuff coming up next week on The Staff Canteen including the first video in our four-part series on Mugaritz chef, Andoni Luis Aduriz; Bone Daddies and Flesh and Bones chef, Ross Shonhan, in Menu Watch; the video of Lime Wood's Luke Holder in Britain's Got Talent and the culmination of our competition to win signed copies of Tom Kerridge's new cook book, 'Proper Pub Food'. Enjoy!
