The Local Pantry has created three unique flavours to be enjoyed watching the fireworks this bonfire week: succulent pork with homemade black pudding, apple and sage, BBQ pulled pork and smoked garlic and last but not least, The Yorkshire, pork mixed with fresh herbs, Bracken Hill mustard and a touch of Henderson’s relish.
