French cuisine is defined by the use of high quality, fresh ingredients to create rich and complex dishes, often involving sauces made from wine, cream, or stock. A bestseller all year round, but certainly on Bastille Day (14 July)

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.
