For the perfect crispy yet tender roast pork belly.

Remove your belly from the fridge dry and season the skin well. Allow to come up to room temperature.

Preheat oven with fan and grill (if you can) to 210°C and cover your pork belly flesh but not the skin in Time foil. Place your pork in a deep sided roasting dish. Roast the pork under the grill on the middle shelf of the oven until the skin is good and crackled perhaps 20 minutes.

Reduce the temperature to 160°C add a small amount of water to the bottom of the tray and and cook for a further 3 hrs the meat should be soft to the touch and plenty of the fat melted out

Rest well and slice across the grain.

All our meat is delivered frozen.

We deliver it to you in insulated sustainable wool packaging that can keep it frozen for 72hrs. When you receive your meat please put it straight in the freezer. Even if it has defrosted it is ok to put back in the freezer as long as it is not warm.

We deliver it frozen for a number of critical reasons:

• Natures preservative. Freezing is one of the most ancient of all methods of preservation. We firmly believe that when frozen rapidly there is no loss of quality in the meat.

• Sustainability. By freezing our meat we can ensure there is as close to zero waste as possible. Our meat is frozen as soon as it is butchered in protective packaging that allows us to keep the meat perfectly for over a year. This is vs 10 days for fresh.

• Seasonality. Like vegetables, meat has a season. By freezing our meat we can select our produce when it is at its very best. Fresh meat butchers cannot do this and you can taste the difference in our meat.

• Better supporting farmers. For our farmers it is most profitable for them to get the produce off the farm as soon as it is ready. This allows us to support them better.
