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? Please take a look at our 're-opening your business' survey today: bit.ly/3sbVwbA   Every participant will be entered into a prize draw to win THREE full sized tubs of their choice from the Essential Cuisine range!

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.
