The Canteen Ledger

The Canteen Ledger is an independent editorial record of the Canteen on Clifton Street, Cardiff, written from the archive, the local press and the recipes kept in print.

The Ledger does not take bookings, does not publish prices and does not speak for the canteen. People, suppliers and the press named in an entry are described in the third person; none of them publishes this site.
