We’re delighted to welcome CHR FOODSERVICE EQUIPMENT LTD and Valimex Foodservice Service as Principal Partner sponsors of Young North West Chef of the Year. Their backing plays a vital role in supporting the next generation of North West culinary talent, helping us develop a competition that inspires, educates, and celebrates young chefs across our region. Huge thanks to both partners — we’re thrilled to have you on board and excited for what’s ahead.

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.
