The Canteen Ledger
An independent Cardiff record of the Canteen on Clifton Street, organized around menus, recipes, the surrounding street, and kitchen practice.
Field notes
The ledger files its material under four named counters—Menus, Recipes, The street, and Practice—and assigns each entry a code such as MN-002 or RC-001. The homepage currently lists six entries, including pieces on Sardinian small plates, farmhouse seasonality, Welsh laverbread, and the routine of resetting a counter before the first customer. It identifies the source material as an archive, local press, and recipes kept in print, while also making clear that the project is documentary rather than a shop: nothing on the site is for sale.
