Our boneless pork neck end joints, available in 2kg and 4kg joints, make the best slow and pot roast dinners, leaving you with sweet and succulent pulled pork that's just divine and don't forget that beautiful rind for that crispy crackling!
Due to the sweet and tender inter-muscle fats found in the neck of the pig, it will probably be the only bit of pork you will be happy to roast again!
This cut also makes the perfect pork joint to smoke in the smoker...
Check out our gourmet sauce mixes and rubs in 'The Deli' - the 'Pig Easy American BBQ Style Pulled Pork' goes down a treat with our neck ends.
Bring the joint to room temperature (1–2 hours out of the fridge) for even cooking.
Pat dry thoroughly and season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and optional herbs (sage, rosemary, garlic) or a light rub.
Preheat oven to 220°C (fan 200°C / Gas 7) for initial high-heat sear. Place in a roasting tin (on a trivet of vegetables/onions if desired). Roast uncovered 20–30 minutes to brown.
Reduce to 150–160°C (fan 130–140°C / Gas 2) and cook low and slow: allow 40–50 minutes per 500g plus 30 minutes until internal ~80–85°C and meat pulls apart easily (use thermometer). For pulled pork, continue to ~90–93°C probe-tender.
Rest loosely covered with foil 20–30 minutes before carving or pulling, this redistributes juices for maximum tenderness.
Carve into slices or shred with forks.
If frozen, thaw slowly in the fridge first, see our freezing and defrosting guide.
Serve simply with the rich porkiness shining through, alongside roast potatoes, apple sauce, stuffing, seasonal vegetables, and gravy; elevate with cider glaze, mustard, sage butter, or BBQ sauce for pulled style.
