Cardiff Christmas Market 2019 food prices and how they compare to last year

The festive feeling has gripped Cardiff as the city's is back.

And while there isn't an official lights switch-on this year, there's still Winter Wonderland and the wooden chalets to help you get in the seasonal spirit.

Many of the market stalls have returned for another year, bringing with them their festive food and drinks.

However, these markets have a reputation for being on the pricey side, so we decided to see how they compare to last year's costings.

And while a number of stalls have kept their prices steady, a few have introduced slight increases to the cost of their goods.

Here's how the prices compare to 2018.

The Melted Cheese Company  

This gooey, melted cheese hut is always a firm favourite.

And good news for cheese lovers, the prices haven't budged since last year.

Here are this year's prices:

  • Traditional Raclette (melted cheese with garlic baby potatoes) - £6

  • Raclette Baguette £6

  • Three cheese nachos - £5

  • Three cheese garlic bread - £3

Chock shop  

As with last year, Chock Shop is selling any brownie with some sauce and cream - £3 (or £2.50 without the extras).

Hot Roasted Nuts  

This hot nut stall has kept its prices the same as 2018.

  • One bag - £2

  • Three bags - £5

Snowdonia Cheese Company  

There are lots of cheeses on offer at this stall and they're sold in truckles (basically, a mini wheel).

Prices have gone up since last year, however.

  • A truckle of cheese - previously cost £4.50, now costs £5 

  • Three truckles used to cost £12, the deal now costs £13.

  • Six truckles used to be £21, but for this year, they're selling five truckles for £20.

Cottage Sweets  

Here you'll find a host of marshmallows on offer - and there are even some samples to try.

Prices remain the same as 2018: 

  • A bag of marshmallows - £4 
  • Lollies - £2.50 each

There's a slight change in price here.

  • Mulled wine was £3.50 per cup, it's now £3.75
  • Mulled wine with a shot of rum/brandy was £5 per cup - that's now £5.50 this year.

However, if you buy six cups, you'll get the seventh free.

Prices here have increased slightly.

  • Roast meat rolls were £4.80 and now cost £5.50, while roast meat baguettes used to cost £5.50 but are now £6.50.

  • Last year there was a Pumpkin soup which cost £3, whereas this year you can pick up an onion soup for £4.
