Sustainable Hospitality Business of the Year

The Staff Canteen

TSC Sustainable Hospitality Business of the Year 2022 Mark McCabe and Matthew Pennington, are co owners of The Ethicurean in Bristol. 

Just north of the Mendip Hills, near the village of Wrington, sits Barley Wood Walled Garden. Originally built for Henry Herbert Wills and his family at the turn of the century, the carefully-restored Victorian kitchen garden and orchards provide a tranquil backdrop

for diners.

Named for its whole-hearted commitment both to the wonders of the plant kingdom and the appreciation of indulgence in excellent food, the restaurant is located in two rustic glasshouses, allowing diners to be as close to the natural environment as possible.

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.
