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 restaurant is owned by Razak Helalat who opened the Coal Shed which has been an overnight success, quickly making a name for themselves as serving the best steaks in town. He has teamed up with Dariush Tamadon-Nejad, previously of Restaurants Etc Ltd (Mark Hix), to act as General Manager of both The Coal Shed and The Salt Room.
The Salt Room heralds a very welcome addition to Brighton’s burgeoning food scene.
