Here’s a smokin’ hot new addition to London’s Bankside – Porky’s BBQ spot, specialising in American-style smoked meats, opened its second site in Globe Walk on 6 June.

The restaurant uses a traditional Memphis grill and Oklahoma smokers to slow-cook American barbecue dishes, such as dry-rubbed ribs and tips, smoked over hickory wood and served with Porky’s homemade BBQ sauce. Other greasy-fingered pleasures include their signature hounddogs – 100 per cent British pork sausage with fried onions and extra toppings of pulled pork, streaky bacon, jack cheese or chilli and cheese.

Like the original Porky’s in Camden, which opened in July last year, the new restaurant from husband and wife team Simon and Joy Brigg offers a range of cocktails, bourbons, rye whiskies and craft beers.
