There are few pleasures quite so sweet as the sight of your loved ones packed around the dinner table. And what better way to treat them than with a salty, savoury pork roast or a golden, crackling pork belly? As with all of Peter Bouchier’s beautiful cuts of meat, it’s best to think of our pork roast cuts as canvases upon which your culinary creativity can shine.
Consider our pork scotch. Cook up classic Australian roast pork, seasoned simply with salt, pepper and garden-grown herbs, then drizzled with apple sauce. Or perhaps try our pork belly, with its perfect balance of succulent, tender meat and fatty flesh ready to crackle. If you’re more in the mood for a pork fillet or a casserole, our pork belly and scotch can be easily sliced and diced at home, or just ask, and our butchers would be happy to prepare them for you.

Pork Roast
Pork is an excellent choice for roasting. Thick layers of pork fat practically guarantee juicy, soft meat, making pork a forgiving teacher to pupils still honing their culinary skills. When choosing a cut of pork for a roast, look for a balance between fat and meat. Too little fat will leave you with a tough, chewy roast; too much will leave you barely any meat to enjoy.
As a quality butcher, we take great care in sourcing quality pork. Whether you settle on a belly, scotch or a boneless pork loin roast, you can rest assured that your meal has been sustainably sourced from free-range farms.
- Pork scotch is a cut of pork shoulder and is a versatile cut. Thick and meaty yet forgivingly tender, it shines even when prepared simply. While excellent for a roast, this free-range cut also does well in the slow cooker.
- Pork belly, as you can well imagine, is a tender, fatty cut. It’s extraordinarily flavourful and absorbs additional flavours and juices extremely well. Score the skin and encrust it with salt for a crispy crackling.
- Pork loin is a wide, flat slab of meat cut from the back of the pig. Excellent for roasts, we present our pork loins rolled into logs, scored skin out, so you get a beautiful crackling with juicy meat within. If you’d prefer an individually portioned loin chop, we offer those too.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’re so glad you asked. As it happens, we have an excellent recipe for a French-style pork roast soaked in tremendous flavour.
Marinated overnight in garlic, chopped thyme and brown sugar that will caramelise over the skin, this slow-roasted mouth-watering recipe is still simple enough to become a weekend go-to.
To get the best crackling, the skin of your pork belly needs to be as dry as possible and well salted.
Our advice: the day before the roast, pat down your pork belly with paper towels to absorb any moisture and then leave it in the fridge overnight. Then, remove it an hour before cooking and place more paper towels on it to absorb any moisture that comes up. Finally, score it and pack the skin with salt; not only will this dry it out further, but it’ll also bolster the flavour.
Oven temperature is also key. You’ll need the skin to crisp up without overdoing the meat. The contrast between the crunchy crackling and the juicy meat is the heaven you’re aiming for.We have a recipe for a guaranteed crispy skin pork roast if you’d like to follow along.
Slow cooking is a marvellous way to get the best out of a delicious cut of pork belly. So low and slow is the way to go.
The extended cooking time allows the pork fat to render and the muscle to break down. Over the hours, the meat soaks up the juices and the flavouring you’ve chosen.
Once the slow cooker has had its moment, we suggest placing your roast on a wire rack and giving it a few minutes in the oven under high heat. This will help the skin crisp up, leaving you with a truly ethereal meal.
