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.

Choices will include a subtle yet complex monkfish in Yangtze hot and sour broth, a contemporary take on the Sichuan classic, updated with a silky pumpkin sauce replacing the traditional pickled chillies and adding colour and sweetness.
