We’re delighted and incredibly proud to announce that Taste Hospitality Recruitment is working with original Founder Brian Mellor in bringing back Young North West Chef of the Year! It’s a fantastic celebration of the region’s young culinary talent — giving chefs the platform and recognition they deserve. The North West’s food scene has never been stronger, and this competition aims to prove it. Read more about its comeback tastehospitality.com/young-north-west-chef-of-the-year/

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.
