For 17 years, The Staff Canteen has been the meeting place for chefs and hospitality professionals—your stories, your skills, your space.
Every recipe, every video, every news update exists because this community makes it possible.
We’ll never hide content behind a paywall, but we need your help to keep it free.
If The Staff Canteen has inspired you, informed you, or simply made you smile, chip in £3—less than a coffee—to keep this space thriving.
Together, we keep the industry connected. Together, we move forward.

The Staff Canteen and Chefs Etc Ltd are joining together in aid of Hospitality Action, the industry's charity. Both companies will be donating a total £500.00 to the charity. This donation will come from the money that both companies would normally spend on Christmas cards and postage.
Mark Morris director of both Chefs Etc Ltd and The Staff Canteen Ltd, said "It's a far better use of our funds, and I'm sure that the money donated will have a much more lasting effect than a card that adorns a desk for the two week festive period" Both companies will instead send electronic cards, which are, of course, less impacting on the environment.
Why not join both The Staff Canteen and Chefs Etc Ltd in donating your Christmas card and postage budget to Hospitality Action, you make your donation by e-mail below or visit their web site, for more information on Hospitality Action.
