Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get perfect crackling on pork belly?

Score the skin deeply in close parallel lines with a sharp knife. Pat completely dry. Rub generously with fine sea salt — really work it into the scores. Roast skin-side up at 220°C for 30-35 minutes until the skin is blistered and crackling. Then reduce to 160°C for a further 2-2.5 hours until the meat is completely tender. Don't cover it at any point.

How do I slow-roast pork belly?

Score and season the skin. Roast at 220°C for 30 minutes to get the crackling started, then reduce to 160°C for 2.5-3 hours. The fat will render into the meat, keeping it incredibly moist. Rest for 15 minutes before carving into thick slices. The meat should be completely tender while the skin remains crisp.

Can I BBQ or smoke pork belly?

Yes — pork belly is excellent smoked. Smoke skin-side up at 120°C over applewood for 4-5 hours. The fat renders slowly, basting the meat throughout. Alternatively, use it for Korean-style BBQ pork belly — slice into 1cm pieces and cook directly over very hot coals for 2-3 minutes per side.

Where does the pork come from?

From small, independent UK farms committed to free range rearing, regenerative land management and high animal welfare. Every pig is raised outdoors with space to roam and a natural diet.
