Goodbye, meal deal. Hello focaccia revolution. Let’s be honest, lunch has been slacking.

Cardiff’s food scene is about to get a serious shake-up with the launch of Square + Fair, a rebellious new lunch spot from serial food entrepreneur and chef Nick Collins. Opening in Royal Arcade, the debut venue with a chef-led menu, will surely cause a stir.

Swapping limp triangles and uninspired office snacks for freshly baked focaccia, punchy flavours and coffee roasted in Wales, Square + Fair promises to shake up the way Cardiff does lunch. Founded by chef Nick Collins, the new opening blends high-quality ingredients with rebellious energy and its launch is set to make serious noise.

So, what the foc is Square + Fair?

It’s the bold answer to the question: Why is lunch so boring?

Founder Nick explains:
“Cardiff deserves a lunch spot that actually gives people something to get excited about. Square + Fair is a bit of a middle finger to boring food. It’s food that actually fills you up and makes you feel something. We’re not here to whisper. We’re here to shout about better lunch. No plastic wrap. No half-measures. Just seriously good focaccia, great coffee and a welcoming team.”
