PUBGOERS are tucking into traditional Dorset food from 1952 recipes to celebrate the Golden Jubilee and help raise cash for charity.
People at the Royal Oak in Cerne Abbas are being treated to a menu from 50 years ago, including rice pudding, sherry trifle and pork and lemon to raise money for a new mobile dialysis machine.
Licensee Jan Birch hit on the idea after the pub was recognised as a fine food outlet by Les Routiers. After talking to doctors from Dorset County Hospital she came up with the idea of a fundraiser for the new machine.
A donation of £1 from every meal and £1 from every pint of Butcombe bitter or Weymouth Best bitter will be given towards the fund for the machine, which will be used on kidney patients throughout Dorset.
