As the hospitality industry prepares for re-opening, we want to gain insight into the position of businesses across the nation.  Here at Essential Cuisine, we pride ourselves in supporting working kitchens with menu-planning, takeaway inspiration, samples and much more. Your thoughts help shape the way we do business, by ensuring we're offering valuable support to your brigade.   Are you preparing for outdoor dining? Is your takeaway menu going to continue when your doors re-open?

For 17 years, The Staff Canteen has been the meeting place for chefs and hospitality professionals—your stories, your skills, your space.

Every recipe, every video, every news update exists because this community makes it possible.

We’ll never hide content behind a paywall, but we need your help to keep it free.

If The Staff Canteen has inspired you, informed you, or simply made you smile, chip in £3—less than a coffee—to keep this space thriving.

Together, we keep the industry connected. Together, we move forward.
