The most read article on The Staff Canteen this month was the news that the Michelin-starred restaurant The Cross at Kenilworth had been fined over £25,000 after an apprentice chef suffered a severe scalding. The 18-year-old chef was cleaning an extractor fan when his foot slipped into a fryer full of hot fat. He sustained serious injuries as a result of the accident and the pub pleaded guilty in court.
