 Bwyty Iawn by aaaarrgh
Another Cardiff institution - Hayes Island Snack Bar. Originally when it opened in 1911 it was a parcel office. It is now reborn as a rather quaint wooden cafe. The Snack Bar was under threat of closure several years ago, but instead the Council saw sense and preserved it. Now it serves a full range of snacks and hot food, cheaply and conveniently.
Seating is outside in the fresh air. This is OK most of the time - there is lots going on to watch, buses, shoppers and... ..erm... more shoppers, tourists and taxis.
There used to be a problem with pidgeons in the trees - make sure to look above your head and make sure one of these flying rats isn't aligning its sphincta over your repast.
Fortunately, during the wetter months of the year a covered awning is available for shelter - very sensible - this is not the South of France!!!
There are some stylish old public toilets in the same area. Check the wind direction before you choose your seat because sometimes the sweet smell of urine can come wafting over from the gents :-))) Leave a Comment Theme: Fast FoodPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: The Hayes, City CentreDirections: Around the corner from Cardiff Visitor Centre and directly in front of St Davids Concert Hall.

 Cheap tasty food! by aaaarrgh
There are two traditional 'fish'n'chip' take-aways, several pizza outlets and kebab shops.
The local council hates it and would like to see the end of it. In 2003 the trendy new Brewery Quarter opened next door and in their opinion Caroline Street spoils the view!! In 2004 a local council worker managed to find a rat fast asleep in a kebab shop window. It very conveniently obliged to stay asleep while the worker took photos for the local newspaper. If you are the second unlucky person to find a rat, I would recommend PLENTY of chilli sauce... :-))
But there are plenty more reasons to continue visiting there!!! Lots of people still want cheap take-away food.

 A mecca for delicious
piping hot pasties! by M0B1US
Not exactly Welsh cuisine (though Cornwall, or 'Kernow' is another relic of Celtic culture in the British Isles), but a fantasticly filling savoury pie for mere pennies when you're on the run!
Originally developed as a meal to be taken by miners into the tin mines of Cornwall, the faithful Cornish pastie has spawned many flavours from the original pepper spiced potatoes and minced beef.
Nowadays you can order from a choice including steak and ale, beef and stilton, pork and apple, spiced vegetable, cheese and broccoli.
Ordinarily a medium sized pastie at £1.55 is more than enough, but if you're feeling particularly hungry, go for one of the giant-sized versions on offer.

 Bacon butty bliss! by mafi_moya
Believe it or not the place has been 'yuppified' a few years back - it's now much smarter and with a far more extensive menu than in the past. Although tell that to the man with the stray dogs who stinks of urine! Along with some of the unfriendliest and miserable staff in the world, this is a uniquely Cardiff kind of place! Despite all that it's well worth a visit at least once.
The food is actually pretty good at times - best bet is an early morning breakfast roll of bacon, egg, mushroom and sausage all stuffed into a bread roll, for about 2 pounds. Leave a Comment Theme: BreakfastComparison: least expensiveAddress: The Hayes, near St David's Hall

 Cornish Bakehouose street
scene by SabrinaSummerville
For those of you who don't know what a Cornish Pastie is, it's like a mini Calzone pizza but made with flaky pastry and filled with various different types of fillling.
For those of you who aren't too sure which pizza is the Calzone, it's the one cut like a traditional circular pizza but folded in half with all the delicious filling sealed inside.
I ordered one pasty filled with lamb meat and potato, and another filled with corned beef hash (i.e. mashed potato and corned beef combined).
Updating this tip, I returned to Cardiff in February 2008 and made a sneak trip to this yummy takeaway, ordering the beef and stilton this time. It's the nicest one yet!!!
At about two pounds each they make a very mouth wateringly tasty quick meal, they are very filling, and great value for money.

 You can't miss it! by M0B1US
No matter what time of year or what kind of weather, you'll always find plenty of people sitting at the tables here taking in the atmosphere or waiting to meet friends.
Situated here are also some handy free underground public toilets...

I must admit I love having a good meal in a good restaurant , but if there isn't much time, & not enough money (for having bought lots of gifts)...there's no other chance but to eat on the hoof!
