The Black Pig

Grab a big pile of napkins after ordering at The Black Pig—you’ll need more than you think. The doorstop-sized ciabatta sandwiches from the perma-busy Borough Market stall are generously stuffed, and will drip sauce and spill slaw no matter how anaconda-like you can stretch your jaw. These sandwiches are worth any accidental stains, though. Each one contains a small mound of juicy, tender, slow-roasted pork shoulder between springy bread. Our favourite extra fillings are in the Salsa Verde—the tangy, fresh apple and fennel slaw, creamy aioli, and herby salsa verde cut through the rich meat.
