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

Sticky Fingers Street Food, Richmond Rd, Cardiff
On March 1, 2020 by The Plate Licked CleanIt’s a great name, no?
