Caroline Street shows a different side of central Cardiff from the covered arcades: a concentrated row of takeaways associated with nights out and match days. Chips with curry sauce connect the street to a familiar South Wales food tradition; the older buildings reward a glance above the counters.
What to look for
A row of takeaways gives the street its Chippy Lane nickname.
Older street frontages survive within the former walled town.
Useful to know
Use it for a food stop while moving between The Hayes and St Mary Street.
Check the takeaway you want directly; public street access does not establish its trading hours.
