What this site is
The Canteen Ledger is an independent editorial record of the Canteen on Clifton Street, Cardiff. It is written from the archive, the local press and the recipes kept in print. The site holds four counters: Menus, Recipes, The street and Practice. Each counter holds numbered entries, and each entry answers one question.
Who writes it
The ledger keeps the record. It reads the archived pages of the canteen, the dated menus, the recipes and the reviews that survive, then states what those sources say. People, suppliers and the press named in an entry are described in the third person.
