Willow wins Red Dot Award. Steelite International's new Distinction pattern Willow has been awarded the sought-after Red Dot seal of approval for outstanding design. Launched back in February at Ambiente, the Willow collection was designed to offer banqueting and fine dining operations a stylish and modern suite of plates, bowls, cups, saucers and mugs. The Red Dot Award has worldwide recognition as a mark of outstanding design and innovation. This is a fantastic accolade to hold and something Steelite International are very proud to have been recognised for. www.steelite.com/media/literature/brochures/e0c5c4efd786ba0997207b6d756053ef_1491312972.pdf

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.
