Pork Belly

Free-Range Pork Belly – Succulent, Flavoursome & Perfect for Slow Roasting

Few cuts of meat are as indulgent and versatile as Pork Belly. At Northfield Farm, our pork belly comes from free-range, outdoor-bred pigs, reared with care and respect by trusted British farmers. Unlike pale, intensively reared supermarket pork, our pork belly is richly marbled with layers of creamy fat and dark-pink lean meat – the key to unbeatable succulence, flavour, and crispy crackling.

Our pigs roam freely, socialise naturally, and mature slowly, developing fat and flavour in a way that cannot be rushed. The result is pork belly that truly stands apart – tender, juicy, and utterly delicious.

How to Cook Pork Belly

For the ultimate Sunday roast or dinner party centrepiece:

1. Preparation: Score the rind with a sharp knife. Rub generously with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
2. Slow Roast: Place the pork belly on top of roughly chopped onions in a roasting tin. Add a mug of water, cider, or apple juice. Cover tightly with foil and cook low and slow at 130-140°C (120°C fan) for 3-4 hours, until meltingly tender.
3. Crisp the Crackling: Remove the foil, raise the oven temperature to 200-220°C (180-200°C fan) and roast for a further 20-30 minutes until the rind is golden, bubbled, and perfectly crisp.

For global flavours, marinate or rub your pork belly with spices:

• Mexican-style with chilli, cumin, and smoked paprika.
• Southern American BBQ with molasses, Mustard, and a smoky dry rub.
• Asian-inspired with soy sauce, star anise, garlic, ginger, and honey.
