Time to stop using plastic chopping boards!

Everytime we chop on plastic boards we release microplastics onto the ingredients we are preparing. The deep grooves that our knives instantly make in the plastic can also harbour bacteria, making them unhygienic.


“Businesses are free to use wooden chopping boards provided they are able to meet the legal requirements.”

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.
