Why you should contribute to The Staff Canteen

At The Staff Canteen, we pride ourselves on being the largest community for chefs and hospitality workers across the UK.

What started out as a chef’s forum almost 20 years ago has continually expanded.

We are now in a position where we bring you weekly long-form features with the nation’s best chefs, both in video and written form, as well as regular exclusive interviews, news pieces and social media clips from inside the most talked about kitchens.

We have also been present at some of the industry’s top events this year, from the Michelin Guide ceremony in Glasgow, to the World’s 50 Best in Turin and the BCF Chef of the Year finals in Birmingham.

Some of our best recent work across our website, YouTube and socials includes:

VIDEO: Inside The Unruly Pig: 3x Winner of UK’s Best Gastropub
FEATURE: What is the future of fine dining in the UK?
REEL: What makes The Devonshire Guinness so special?
INTERVIEW: How 'inspirational' Martin Wishart changed the face of Scottish fine dining
VIDEO: ROE: The viral restaurant taking over London with Jack Croft and Will Murray

All of the above - heading to the events, capturing and producing such high-quality content, comes at a financial cost.

Despite this, unlike many other online media outlets, we have resisted the urge to ever put up a paywall, allowing all of our content to be viewed free of charge.

The Staff Canteen community is always, and will always, be driven by you – our members.

We want to keep bringing you closer to the action of the best kitchens, gaining insights from industry-leading figures like Daniel Clifford, Tom Kerridge, Andrew Wong and Martin Wishart.

We know times are incredibly tough at the moment, especially in hospitality.

But, if you like what we do and would love to see more like it and come payday can spare anything, you can become part of our contributor community.

From as little as £3, less than the price of a coffee, you can donate to The Staff Canteen.

We are planning to highlight our contributors in the coming months, so if you would like to be a part of it and give your suggestions to help drive forwards our coverage even further, follow this link to find out more about our contribute model.

You can either make one-off donations, or set up a monthly payment scheme.

If this is something which does not work for you, we completely understand. Times are tough for all of us right now. Together, we can keep sharing the amazing stories hospitality brings.

Thank you all for your continued support of The Staff Canteen.
