Bristol is set to get its own bacon bar this month believed to be the first of its kind in the UK. The Jolly Hog is temporarily transforming its Pigsty site at Wapping Wharf into a restaurant completely dedicated to bacon, serving both savoury and sweet dishes.
The Bristol-based butcher will be hosting a three-day pop-up event this month to showcase their award-winning bacon "in unexpected and elevated ways". Customers will be able to book a slot for brunch, lunch, dinner and dessert for one weekend only - March 17-19.
On the menu, there will be everything from bacon-themed drinks like the Black Treacle Bacon Milkshake to bacon-focused desserts that have rarely ever been seen before, including streaky bacon ice cream cones and bacon cheesecake. For those looking more at the savoury dishes, there will be melt-in-your-mouth hasselback potatoes with blue cheese and black treacle bacon as well as Mexican-style street corn rolled in bacon dust.
