The Bone Cartel, Porthcawl: review
On December 19, 2024 by The Plate Licked CleanThere’s an air of anticipation outside The Bone Cartel. I arrive ten minutes before they open and there is already a queue: ahead, a bunch of lads discuss their favourite wing sauces on the menu.

Cardiff: Where To Eat on Mondays
On November 9, 2024 by The Plate Licked Clean‘There’s just nowhere to eat in Cardiff on a Monday!’ It’s a familiar complaint on a night when the keen diner is notoriously short of options.

Nook, Canton, Cardiff: revisit review 2022
On December 10, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanI’ve come at the wrong time, haven’t I? It’s a bright, cold day, the light filling the room those huge windows. Lovely if you’re the kind of inveterate arsehole who insists on photographing their dinner, mind. And yet…in my head, the default Nook look is seeing the place lit like a picture on an autumn
