Chef of the Year

The Staff Canteen

TSC Chef of the year 2020 Peter McKenna is the chef and owner of award-winning Glasgow restaurant The Gannet and gourmet burger business El Perro Negro.

Peter’s career has seen him work in locations far and wide, from Banc Restaurant in Australia to private yachts, Coral Island

and Queen K, followed by a stint under Michael Caines as a sous-chef at Abode. The Gannet has enjoyed eight years of success under the chef’s stewardship, who recently oversaw the launch of another outlet at The Bonnie and Wild foodhall in Edinburgh St James’.

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.
