On May 23, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanMowgli, Honest, Pho, Rosa’s: Church St has become a hub of the better chains. And now here come Fat Hippo.

Gem 42, Newport: review
On April 9, 2022 by The Plate Licked CleanWith a recently awarded third AA Rosette, it’s obvious twins Pasquale and Sergio Cinotti are doing something at Gem 42 in Newport which deserves attention. It’s not an award any Cardiff restaurant holds. It’s not unusual for it to go hand in hand with a Michelin star: The Beach House and The Walnut Tree have

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. It’s another example of the locally dominant style, but there’s a lot to like: besides, this end of Canton was an absolute priority for good Neapolitan pizza. By which I mean, it’s near the school run. Fizz’n’Flour started as a lockdown project

But here on Ely’s Cowbridge Road West, opposite and half way between the former hospital and the Fire Station, is the

Lee Skeet announces new Milkwood popup ’40 Days 40 Nights’
On October 4, 2021 by The Plate Licked CleanVery quickly last year, Lee Skeet made his Bones Supper Club the most impressive new place to eat in Cardiff. He did it the hard way, too. No paid PR. No invitation evenings. He just cooked and let his food do the talking. Remarkable regional produce, a chef of Lee’s experience and skill, cooking for
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.
I write because I love it (and food, as indicated by my increasing girth). Greed happens to be my Deadly Sin of choice, but at least it is never shy of providing me with subject matter.Â
A simple thing, then: all you get is me wittering on semi-coherently about places I’ve eaten at; hence a ‘restaurant blog’ rather than a ‘food blog’, although there are a few recipes scattered throughout.Â
From mezze to Michelin ‘fine dining’ and all points in between.Â
