Best Crackling In London
So…where can you find the best crackling in London?
The Fox & Pheasant, Chelsea
Loved: Everything really, but especially the smoky parsnip puree, great yorkie and most of the crackling.
Loathed: Erm...roast potatoes could have been crispier, but were still good.

The Bobbin, Clapham
Loved: Crispy roast potatoes! In London! Tasty crackling, good carrots...
Loathed: Nothing really. Pork belly was good - but I think they could do better.

The Lighterman, King’s Cross
Loved: Quite thick meat-stock gravy, succulence of the pork balanced the crispy crackling perfectly.
Loathed: The service was poor – inattentive, unhelpful and frankly useless, bar the young lady going upstairs to get us extra gravy. The Yorkshire pudding odd, one spud bad.

Black Dog Beerhouse, Brentford
Loved: The pork belly was spectacular - close to perfection and that crackling too...wow
Loathed: Potatoes felt fried, gravy felt very diluted (though tasty)

Albert’s Schloss, Soho
Loved: Well I totally loved the pork knuckle - crackling itself was sensational, properly edible and gooey, with a crunch, plus lots of juicy pork meat too. And the venue is great fun.
Loathed: Watery gravy was the biggest crime, along with a general lack of seasoning/flavour.
