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 Bingham’s General Manager Erick Kervaon, along with fellow founders of Alliance of Independent Restaurants AIR Hospitality, Paul Merrett (Owner/Chef of The Victoria Public House) and Eric Guignard (Owner/Chef of The French Table) have devised a four-course seasonal menu which will be cooked and served by 2nd Chance trainees under the guidance of the seasoned chefs.
