The Humble Onion, Dinas Powys restaurant review

On August 9, 2020 by The Plate Licked Clean

‘Beautiful’. The Humble Onion’s salted focaccia, the taut, fragile bronze breaking apart for its airy crumb to be dredged through herby, grassy oil and its thick, sweet plug of balsamic. ‘Just…beautiful.’ A rolled lamb breast which combines a light crust with the wanton wobble of rich fat, a scattering of little cubes of pickled cucumber, Read More

Bar 44, Penarth: large party menu review

On May 25, 2019 by The Plate Licked Clean

I don’t like people telling me what to have for dinner. Anticipating the menu is half the fun, a few minutes of weighing the claims of each dish, making those decisions, playing them off against one another in your head. Delaying the pleasure: an act of culinary foreplay. A well written menu seduces. A ‘large Read More

Hare and Hounds Ale and Food House, Aberthin, Cowbridge

On January 5, 2018 by The Plate Licked Clean

In a case of untypically happy timing, we visited Hare and Hounds the evening before their brand new Michelin ‘Bib Gourmand’ was announced. I’d love to be able to claim some connection, however spurious, because Hare and Hounds deserves every plaudit it receives- including, just recently, mention in the Sunday Times as a ‘gastro-temple’. Don’t Read More

Oscar’s, Cowbridge

On August 5, 2016 by The Plate Licked Clean

It’s not always easy to pick your favourite Oscar. It usually comes down to a toss-up between the immortal wit of Wilde and the ingrained irascibility of The Grouch. (You might add the musical genius of Hammerstein II, though I can never hear ‘Oklahoma!’ without thinking of Ruprecht.)  But for all their gifts, I wouldn’t trust Read More

Mr Villa’s, The Knap, Barry

On July 2, 2016 by The Plate Licked Clean

A little run of shopfronts near Barry’s Cold Knap is where you’ll find Mr Villa’s. Open since last November, it bills itself as a fish and chips restaurant and oyster bar. That doesn’t do it justice. The tables hold old-school vinegar and salt; the broad white and blue stripes, whitewashed walls, unfinished concrete floor, open Read More

Mint & Mustard, Penarth

On January 22, 2016 by The Plate Licked Clean

‘Keralan Passion, Britsh Style’ runs the legend over the bar in the new Mint and Mustard, Penarth. With the acquisition of a new chef, ex-Dishoom and Bombay Brasserie, this is a high-profile and well-situated addition to Penarth’s town centre, being only an enthusiastically hoiked patata brava from the estimable Bar 44. There’s an expansive selection on offer, Read More
