Good things come to those who wait...

The Staff Canteen
The migration from the old site to the new site went well ... in fact, better and quicker than expected. We increased the load to cope with increased traffic volume predictions and loading times but the user experiences were not where we would want them, or as responsive as we expected. Providing you with a new site is all about improving your experience of The Staff Canteen and, although the functionality was all there and working really well, it just wasn't quite quick enough to give you the user experience we know that it's capable of. So, rather than start off
on the wrong foot, we thought it would be best to drop back to the old site - just for a little while - so that we can iron out those performance issues now rather than disappointing you, the user. This was not a decision that we took lightly, but a decision that put you - our members, sponsors and advertisers - to the front of our thinking. We're really excited to bring you the new site, new features and improved user experience, but please bear with us just a little longer. The technical monkeys are working on it night and day. Thanks for your understanding.
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.
