The expansion of Porky’s BBQ is fairly picking up speed. 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 has opened at Boxpark, 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. There is also 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.
