Did you know that a member of the #Consortium individually quality checks every wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano after its 12 month maturation? This is done by tapping with a small hammer around the wheel to ensure it is uniform!

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.
