Marmo, Bristol: review
On July 14, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanThis feels like the right place to be as you walk in, the air heady with good things which happen here, in this small but high-ceilinged room, and from that tiny kitchen which is essentially an extension of the bar.

Steak and Stamp, Pencoed, Bridgend: review
On June 9, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanSteak. Phwoooar. Flames. Huge hunks of meat. Tattoos. Burly, bearded six-footers innit? Forearms like slabs of sirloin.

Fizz’n’Flour Pizza, Canton, Cardiff: review
On January 23, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanSo here on the Canton Food Mile is Fizz’n’Flour, Cardiff’s latest pizza place.
