Shake Shack Cardiff

Family dining at Shake Shack Cardiff

When Shake Shack Cardiff invited us along to review their family dining experience on Friday evening, we were only too happy to accept. It was mine and Cardiff Daddy’s ninth wedding anniversary that day and, with no available babysitters so we could enjoy a grown-up night out, we thought this...
