The expansion of Porky’s BBQ is fairly picking up speed with the announcement of its second new site this year. An outpost of the barbecue joint, specialising in American-style smoked meats, arrived on the South Bank’s Globe Walk in June and now another restaurant is planned for late October.

This latest Porky’s will open in the Boxpark – a pop-up mall of shops and restaurants housed inside old shipping containers in Shoreditch.

Meat-loving hipsters can sample authentic slow-cooked American barbecue, including Memphis meaty ribs and tips (pork ribs smoked low and slow over hickory wood) and pulled pork sandwiches (which are a new addition to the menu). There will also be a whiskey cocktail list and a range of bourbons and American craft beers.

Porky’s was founded by husband and wife team Simon and Joy Brigg, who opened the original outlet in Camden Town last year.
