Fantastic News! The Catering Insight Awards at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London was a sensational success!   We're thrilled to announce that RATIONAL triumphed in the Training & Education category.   Hundreds of industry leaders voted based on merit and day-to-day experiences with the shortlisted companies.  As the main sponsors, we had the opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge cooking systems, including the iCombi iCareSystem AutoDose option.   But that's not all! We celebrated our 50th year with an exciting scratch-card promotion, guaranteeing 50 winning prizes. An all-round WOW effect!

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.
