On July 5, 2018 by The Plate Licked Clean“Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now- you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato.

Coyote Ugly, St Mary St, Cardiff: menu review
On June 24, 2018 by The Plate Licked CleanIf Boney M have taught us anything about Tsarist Russia, it’s this: not only was Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin a lover of the Russian queen, but he was a “cat that really was gone”.

The Park House, Cardiff: a la carte menu, May 2018
On May 21, 2018 by The Plate Licked CleanWe dined at The Park House as guests of the restaurant. All food and drink was complementary.

On April 15, 2018 by The Plate Licked CleanA few weeks ago La Belle Assiette got in touch and offered me a crack at finally trying their dine at home service.

This blog is a very simple thing.
I won’t try to sell you any hand lotion, exercise programmes, coffee syrups or Patagonian nose flutes. You won’t find tips on dating, ‘wellness’ or yoga mats.

From mezze to Michelin ‘fine dining’ and all points in between.
