*Invited tasting*

The pork belly wasn’t too fatty but still really soft and tender even at the lean parts, with a crisp skin on top. I loved the natural sweetness that the poached pear & endive fennel salad brought. The bulldog vinegar jus was sticky and strong and I liked it on its own, but I thought it came on a bit too strong when paired with the pork. This dish also came with chestnut barley, which was alright but I wasn’t too keen on - maybe a smokier chestnut flavour would help!
