A fantastic showcase of talent, skills and exceptional craftsmanship at the Battle of the Butchers competition taken place recently at the Great Yorkshire Show. RATIONAL were delighted to sponsor the competition and congratulations to all the worthy winners. It was great to see the iCombi Pro pride of place too, ready to cook up all the delicious entries! Big thanks to Danny Upson and the team from Dalziel Ltd for their support! 

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.
