  • About

You can’t beat the crisp golden crackling of roast pig, even nicer if it’s from tender suckling pig, We serve this with a little bundle or ‘faggot’ of black pudding, with spiced, fruity cider sauce. In the depth of autumn, it’s a perfect late Sunday lunch meal in front of the fire with a glass or two of dry cider.

Ingredients

  • 1 × loin boned and rolled Gloucester Old Spot suckling pig or similar (approx 2 kg in weight)

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180°C/gas mark 4. Brush the loin with vegetable oil and sprinkle liberally with salt. Place in a roasting tray and cook for approx 35 to 40 m
