Slow cooked and smoked ribs marinaded in our unique BBQ sauce, accompanied by rainbow slaw and our famous hand cut chips.
From the infamous EMPIRE Hotel to the Butcher and Brewer, our rebranding journey was a heritage one, settling on the old Gear meat works as our inspiration with an emphasis on all things meat. With a focus on low and slow, and a smoker in the mix, came spectacular results. Experimenting with cooking times, methods and spices, and developing our secret BBQ sauce produced an instant hit - BBQ ribs with a depth of flavour that other ribs just don't have. Lovingly rubbed with with our special blend of herbs and spices, our ribs are left to infuse for 24hrs before being smoked over a low heat for at least 6 hours, and then basted in our uniquely savoury BBQ sauce (a pleasant change from the sickly sweet) and left to marinade overnight. One more basting in BBQ sauce before cooking ensures juicy, tender meat you can tease off the bone with your teeth or a fork - the sign of the perfect rib. Not cooked so much that the meat will fall off the bone, but perfectly created so it just stays on. Served as a 600g portion or a whopping 1kg if you can handle it, accompanied by rainbow slaw and our famous hand cut chips.
