Superlatives are insufficient to describe how mind-meltingly exquisite the confit pork belly was. The first bite elicits a gasp of surprise with the crunch of brittle pork crackling, then enjoyment heightens as you discover the subsequent layer of jiggly, melt-in-your-mouth fat before your teeth finally tear into gloriously tender flesh. Lusciously sweet red wine apple puree, thinly sliced green apple, pickled shallots and watercress help cut through the heaviness of it all, but sometimes you just want to go the full hog and roasted sweet potatoes & carrots, fondant potato and an addictively salty chorizo crumble certainly seal the deal.

Taste: 4.5/5
