RomEat Italian Street Food, Albany Road, Cardiff
On July 29, 2020 by The Plate Licked CleanIt’s safe to say RomEat, a tiny, brand new business, hasn’t picked the easiest time to open. I hope they do well. Very well.

Cooking at home with Mercado 44
On July 7, 2020 by The Plate Licked CleanSaturday mornings have taken on a comforting form over the last month or two, centring around collecting my orders from the Bar 44 group’s new online Mercado collection service. Choose your treats, choose between Asador in Cardiff or the branches in Cowbridge and Penarth as a pick-up point. The shop is a deft selection of
