Fish. Tasty. Light. And, as we all know, really good for your health. But weekend lunches, they're all about meat, aren't they? And, here at UJ towers, we have one tiny, underrated word for you: pork. Pork! Just saying it fills us with a kind of pre-Lapsarian joy. |

And you can forget the bony little chops and chewy grey steaks of our youth, nowadays the more creative chefs round town are whipping the humble pig into dishes nothing short of spectacular. At Gilgamesh, Ian Pengelley is marinating pork hock in sticky Courvoisier
XO, and serving it with the lightest scallops and a pea shoot salad.
And over at Michelin-starred Arbutus, if you can snag a table, Anthony
Demetre's signature starter, pork porchetta with Granny Smith apple
puree, is a melt-in-the-mouth 7 quid. |

But it's Saturday lunch, isn't it? You've got a dry mouth and a burning hunger, and poncy fare is all very well, but your inner caveman is about to cart you off to the nearest gourmet burger joint. Our advice? Keep your dignity and feast at The Hawksmoor, on the juiciest ribs from the most joyous swine that ever lived. Pigs-quisite! Arbutus
