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.

The exclusive event will takeplace on Tuesday 27 November at Brasserie Joël, Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London.
Phillip Howard, one of the UK’s most talented chefs and recent star of BBC 2’s Great British Menu, has created a spectacular menu, alongside Angela Hartnett MBE from Murano and Mark Kempson of The Square, to raise money for Hospitality Action. The trio – who have achieved four Michelin stars between them – will oversee the preparation of each dish, as well as hosting the exclusive event.
Philip says: “At this time of year, it's easy to forget about the problems faced by those who work in hospitality. By attending this event, Hospitality Action can continue to make a vital difference and provide a crucial lifeline to those who need it most, whether they’re suffering from illness, addiction, poverty, bereavement or
Penny Moore, chief executive, Hospitality Action, comments: “We’re thrilled to have the support of Phil, Angela and Mark this Christmas. Hospitality employees will be stretched over the coming months as they work harder and longer hours to ensure their guests enjoy the festive season. The funds raised at this event will help make the season a little more bearable for those in crisis within our industry.”
The dinner would be the perfect outing for a Christmas party, as well as a chance to show your support for those in the hospitality industry.
