The Jolly Hog: Pigsty

Head down to Gaol Ferry Steps and you'll find yourself in The Jolly Hog's Pigsty—a proper barbecue restaurant that takes its pork seriously. The vibe is unpretentious and buzzy; industrial brick, communal tables, the kind of place where you roll your sleeves up and get stuck in. You're looking at slow-smoked ribs, proper pulled pork, and sides that don't play second fiddle. It's casual enough to rock up in jeans but good enough that you'll wonder why you don't come here more often. The riverside location near Harbourside means you can walk off your meat coma with a stroll.
