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.

Mat will be partnering with Fish Market head chef Barry Macmillan on three separate dates: Saturday 11, 18 and 25 January, to serve up a three course fish supper with a difference.The three dinners will be a celebration of local and wild Dorset produce from our abundant coastline.
