The Staff Canteen Awards 2024: Voting open

The Staff Canteen

The Staff Canteen Awards, in association with Rational, are back for a fifth year and now is the time to cast your votes.

Eight new winners will be crowned in 2024 to join the hall of fame and also claim a ‘money-can’t buy’ gold TSC awards mug!

The exclusive mugs, as well as a host of other goodies, will be handed out at our awards ceremony at Scotland House in London on Monday, November 11, in front of previous winners and our VIP guests.  

A new added reward for winners this year will see them invited, along with a plus one, to a lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant in London in February 2025, where all sponsors from the awards will also be in attendance.

Last year saw 1,071 nominations and over 49,000 votes cast across the categories.

For the fourth year running, we are proud to partner with RATIONAL as the headline sponsor. They will also again sponsor the Social Media Influencer award.

“With many former chefs in our workforce, we deeply understand the challenges they face. Supporting this event allows us to celebrate their dedication,

innovation, and contributions to the industry we proudly serve.”

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.
