Sandra and I thought that we haven’t been out for a set of ribs in a while so we dragged Jules and Pat out to Blubeckers in Ruislip. If you recall Blubeckers is a chain of restaurants/pubs which Sandra has claimed has the best BBQ Ribs ever.

Blubeckers is a very popular venue – even booking a week in advance we were lucky to get a booking for tonight and we had to give the table back within two hours. Still, Jules and Sandra at least are pretty efficient eaters so we still managed to fit in three courses tonight!

As I found last time I came to a Blubeckers the menu is actually pretty good and the food that is delivered is equally up to the task. Tonight I started with an absolutely gorgeous creamy seafood chowder that came with light fluffy warmed baguette. I actually would have been quite happy to have a main meal version of the chowder it was so good. Pat also went for a liquid starter with his French onion soup. He cleaned it up pretty quickly. Jules and Sandra had some battered prawns which looked pretty scrumptions.

At Blubeckers ribs come in sizes of Light, Classic and Legendary. We all very wisely chose to go for the Classic ribs which are about the size of a normal set of ribs. It was more than enough especially when accompanied by a big bowl of chips (which I didn’t even get anywhere near finishing) and coleslaw. The ribs were as tender and delicious as I remember though now thinking about it they are less BBQ ribs than stewed ribs though the BBQ sauce it comes with is pretty damn good.

Somehow we all found room for dessert though I don’t know how. I’m thinking I won’t be eating for at least 24 hours after tonight!
