The pork belly is a wonderful cut of pork that comes from the breast side of the belly of a pig and its fat marbling makes it almost impossible to overcook. The pork skin is scored by our butchers, this helps to enhance the crackling effect of the skin which is a very tasty accompaniment to any pork roast. When cooked slowly it has an unforgettable rich, luxurious, and fabulously delicious taste. Slow roasted for Sunday lunch or smothered with Chinese spice, perfectly cooked pork belly is always worth the wait. Each bite is pure pleasure. This cut of pork is absolutely delicious accompanied with apple sauce.

Traditionally pork belly has always favoured slow-cooking methods – this allows the fat to render into the meat over time, leaving the resulting flesh moist and tender. Slow-roasting in the oven allows you to render the fat and crisp up the skin simultaneously, creating a lovely textural contrast, but pork belly is equally delicious when braised or stewed – the latter methods result in a pleasantly chewy texture, as the fat doesn’t render quite so much.

Pork belly slices can be seared in a hot pan or on a barbecue and eaten straight away – they won’t be as soft as they are when braised or slow-roasted, but they’re no less delicious and you can add all sorts of interesting dry rubs and marinades.
