Anna-Loka, Albany Road, Cardiff
On August 16, 2015 by The Plate Licked CleanI was feeling like a stranger in a strange land. Like a Fallout vault dweller, blinking their way into a new world… Cards on table, especially if you’re not a regular reader: I love my meat. There’s a fair chance I’d love yours, too. Those sticky bits in the tray after a lamb roast? Those

Shaam Nights, City Road, Cardiff
On July 21, 2015 by The Plate Licked CleanWhat is the meaning of human existence ? Is there life after death? What can we really know?

Pitch Bar & Eatery, Mill Lane, Cardiff
On January 4, 2015 by The Plate Licked CleanWe should give ourselves cool names. Burger Buccaneers, perhaps. Patty Pioneers. Fry Fiends… OH JUST GET ON WITH IT. Another new opening; another quarry to hunt down. The slogan ‘Handmade with Heart’ is always going to tickle your underbelly. A sought-after location, this- nestled between Mocka and Soda at the St Mary’s St end of
