Nawty little vegan starter we are working on   Heritage carrot tart~soy curds & whey~pontack sauce~hogweed seed crumble   The heritage carrots are roasted in hogweed seeds and a caramel made using the whey, there is also a carrot curd seasoned with blonde beer vinegar. Then we have made a soy milk ricotta, sweet crumble with hogweed seeds and a gel made from the pontack sauce which is a punch of acidity. Hopefully that a least helps you to start to understand the dish but really you're gonna have to pop down and try it!

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.
