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.

For 17 years, The Staff Canteen has been the meeting place for chefs and hospitality professionals—your stories, your skills, your space.

Every recipe, every video, every news update exists because this community makes it possible.

We’ll never hide content behind a paywall, but we need your help to keep it free.

If The Staff Canteen has inspired you, informed you, or simply made you smile, chip in £3—less than a coffee—to keep this space thriving.

Together, we keep the industry connected. Together, we move forward.
