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.

In the Nara guide, the one three star restaurant, the two two star restaurants and 12 one star restaurants all retained their awards in the 2016 edition.
15 restaurants were awarded a Bib Gourmand, which is the first time this award has appeared in the Nara selection. The limit is JPY 3,500 or less and all types of cuisine were considered.
Bernard Delmas, the president of Nihon Michelin Tire, said: “We are very pleased to present the new edition of the Michelin Guide to the Kansai region. Even though we have published guides covering four areas, Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Nara, in previous editions, this time we have separated the area to publish 3 new guide books.”
