A throwback this week, one of London’s great kitchens. From new to 11 years of 7 days week and thousands of covers. One of our most longstanding and treasured customers. The last picture is from a few weeks ago, a random visit at the end of service, spotless as always.

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.
