Every Saturday morning in Cardiff, there’s a little food market held in a car park in Roath just off City Road. How I didn’t know about this in the four years I’ve lived in Cardiff is a mystery, but one that I’m glad I discovered.
From award winning Indian cuisine to plant-pot-baked rosemary bread, the range of locally produced foods is impressively diverse. As Cardiff is proudly one of the most multicultural cities in the UK with over 100 ethnic groups, we’re lucky enough to have local foods that are just as multicultural. After sitting down to a deliciously light, spiced Indian breakfast of various fried bajis and kebabs I bought some red onion chutney produced in Caerfilly and a load of sundried tomato bread.
There was also a little craft fair selling jewellery, knitted clothes, hand stitched bags and various other arty things. My housemate with the romantic obsession with Cardiff bought a water colour painting of Cardiff City Hall from a lady whose father was now too old to come to the fair, and she said now painted from his shed.
Whether you want to support local produce or discover how many different types of bread it turns out you can make, Roath Market is definitely worth pottering around.
