Homemade pumpkin pie and florentine quiche. I finally tried the braided trim and it worked well. In the future I will be experimenting with all sorts of decorative pie tops: lattice, honeycomb, cut outs.... there are so many to try.

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.
