Who will The Staff Canteen's Member of the Year 2017?

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED

Every month, we choose one user to be our Member of the Month so we decided to run the ultimate competition - The Staff Canteen's Member of the Year 2017!

Here are each of the people who have been awarded Member of the Month since June 2016 up until May 2017 and all you have to do is vote for your favourite. The winner will get vouchers to spend at a Michelin-starred restaurant of their choice, up to the value of £250 sterling (or equal value), a handmade 'Chefi' leather knife roll and a hamper from our sponsors, Essential Cuisine.

*Only members of The Staff Canteen can vote, you must register with The Staff Canteen in order to vote, only one vote per member any additional votes by the same member will not count and the winner will be the one with the most votes before the closing date and time.

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.
