Cardiff: a week’s worth of city centre independent set lunch deals
On May 14, 2023 by The Plate Licked CleanHere’s the idea: all independents, enough for a week’s worth; all with ‘proper meal’ set lunch deals at a range of prices. All tried and tested, of course. (And a bonus couple, because I live to give). Crucially, all are open every weekday. Which means, of course, that you can rotate to your heart’s- and

Where To Eat in Cardiff Market: the Complete Guide
On April 30, 2023 by The Plate Licked CleanCardiff Market and food have always been inseparable. The late-Victorian building, built on the former site of Cardiff gaol- the gallows were near the St Mary St entrance- opened in 1891, and for some it has been their home for the duration. Others, like butchers JT Morgan, predate even that, trading on the site when

Chinese Fast Street Food, Charles St, Cardiff: review
On March 16, 2023 by The Plate Licked CleanI’ll always have a soft spot for Charles St. I had one of the most romantic meals of my life there, one of those unplanned post-gig late-night styrofoam boxes of noodles under a starry sky, where she nestles her head into your chest and softly sighs and you’re both stupidly, uncomplicatedly happy as possibilities bloom.

Hench Burger at The Royal Oak, Broadway, Cardiff: review
On March 13, 2023 by The Plate Licked CleanThe burger pub pop up has form in Cardiff. Got Beef followed Hang Fire into The Canadian not far from here, and if you were paying attention you’d have known that Ansh was the new best burger in the city while they were only serving out of their van at St Canna’s two and a

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.
