The Black Pig: Gourmet Pork Sandwiches in Borough Market

Nestled in the bustling Borough Market Kitchen, The Black Pig has established itself as a standout street food destination for sandwich enthusiasts. This specialist stall focuses on creating exceptional ciabatta sandwiches featuring slow-roasted Blythburgh free range pork shoulder, finished over coals in a Big Green Egg ceramic grill.

Signature Sandwiches

The Black Pig's mission is clear: to create the best sandwich in London. Their doorstop-sized ciabattas are generously stuffed with juicy, tender slow-roasted pork and complemented by fresh ingredients sourced from around Borough Market itself.

Their signature Honey Truffle Parmesan sandwich has earned particular acclaim, featuring slow-roasted pork shoulder, honey truffle mayo, fennel apple slaw, salsa verde, peperoncini, and generous shavings of 30-month aged parmesan. The Salsa Verde option is equally impressive, combining the tender pork with fresh apple and fennel slaw, creamy aioli, and herby salsa verde.

Quality and Craftsmanship

What sets The Black Pig apart is their commitment to quality and freshness. Everything is made on-site daily, from their homemade salsa verde to their exquisite peperoncini that pickle away for 48 hours. The pork is slow-roasted over coals all day long, resulting in melt-in-the-mouth meat that forms the foundation of each sandwich.

The team sources their ingredients from fellow Borough Market traders, including cheeses from the Parma Ham and Mozzarella Stand and fresh ciabatta from Bread Ahead Bakery, creating a true Borough Market collaboration.

The Experience

Be prepared to use both hands and plenty of napkins when tackling these substantial sandwiches. The generous portions and explosion of flavors make The Black Pig a must-visit for anyone exploring Borough Market's culinary offerings. While you might leave with messy hands, you'll also leave with the satisfaction of having experienced one of London's most thoughtfully crafted street food creations.
