Chef's I'm in need of some help, I work in a 4 star hotel and I need to come up with a starter that can be made to sell for as much as £7 per plate, not much I know but I need some quick ideas to help me get on track with it, thanks.

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.
