The Recipe Book
Recipe Book Cover
By popular demand, Jenny, the manager, and her friends have produced a recipe book of 35 of the customers’ favourite dishes served at The Crofton Pub. Many of the dishes are suitable for people with specific dietary needs. A happy band of volunteers cooked the recipes to make sure the proportions and ingredients were OK. So if you enjoy a dish at the Crofton you can also try it at home!
Visit The Crofton Pub and buy a copy of the recipe book from the bar staff.
Already sales of the book have raised £1417.80 – and a cheque was presented to FADSAD at their annual Christmas get-together in the function room at the Crofton pub.
