Rock Me Amadeo’s

Our last evening we saw a massive queue of peeps stood outside what appeared to be a sawdust floor restaurant, bear in mind outside there was 2 bales of straw and stuffed deer and cows, strange advertisement for a restaurant. Undeterred and udderly (see what I did there) interested we decided to join the queue for what lists itself as “The Place for Ribs”.

inside is very simple, except for the walls of books and gothic red lanterns. The toilets were one cubicle for ladies and two holes against the wall for the guys (in plain sight of all).

Well the menu is simple, you want ribs we gottem, you want anything else then bye bye. The (s)wine (oh me and my puns) comes in 1.5 ltr bottles and if you want it by the glass take it from the 1.5 ltr bottle and they charge for what you use. The wine was actually a B&Q paint stripper special.

The ribs arrive, a full half pig each and a jacket spud, veg forget it, this is a carnivore special and very tasty too (except for Mrs Fogg complaining about greasy fingers whilst forcing the 20th rib down). When you finish your half pig they come round and stack your plate up, since it turns out this is an all you can eat feast (tempted to say you can make a real pig of yourself). After the grub you get an Irish Coffee to wash down all the meat, all for £22 each. Not Bad and now we understand why the lengthy queue.

One curious thing though there were people coming into the restaurants with their pet dogs and just leaving with the leads, don’t understand that.

A fantastic evening topped off by waffles with cream and hot chocolate in the pouring rain oh and a little more of the Glugg wine.
