A Year Behind the Scenes at Rochelle Canteen

Over the autumn, we handed a pair of disposable cameras to the team at Rochelle Canteen for them to document the everyday happenings at the restaurant during a year unlike any other.

Through curfews, lockdowns, Tier 3, closings and reopenings, the team at the restaurant (famously founded by Melanie Arnold and Margot Henderson) kept going.

We caught up with General Manager Kate Towers, who led the team on the floor throughout the pandemic. Here, she shares a few of her thoughts on a rollercoaster ride of a year.
