We met Jeffo and (pregnant) Michele in Didsbury (Manchester) for Sunday lunch. Jeffo knows these parts well and had tasted his “best lamb ever” at a place on Burton Road – Rhubarb.
It was small and well packed with tables, but pretty full of happy looking customers. A bistro type atmosphere but with the warming sense that you are visiting old friends.
We rejected the Sunday lunch special menu in favour of the à la carte. We were only there for one dish, “is the rump of spring lamb on?” Jeff enquired and was advised that we could order anything from the menu. So we ordered lamb all round.
