An open-source, read-only connector that gives compatible AI assistants access to detailed information about Cardiff, Wales.

What to ask

Once connected, try these prompts in your assistant.

Food hygiene

Find Cardiff food businesses by name, business type or minimum hygiene rating, then look up an individual business’s inspection details and official FSA record.

  • “Find cafés in Cardiff with a food hygiene rating of 5”
  • “Which Costa has the best hygiene rating?”
  • “Which restaurants have out of date inspections?”

Café searches use the FSA’s broader Restaurant/Cafe/Canteen category.

  • “Find Welsh-medium primary schools in Cardiff”

Know what the data tells you

Food hygiene ratings come from the Food Standards Agency and reflect standards found on the inspection date. They do not assess food quality or provide menus, opening hours, bookings or availability. Ratings can change; results include inspection dates and official source links.

School details come from a manually refreshed snapshot of the Welsh Government school register. Results include publication and import dates. This is directory information, not live school status, catchments, pupil statistics, inspections or performance results.
