Richo's Suckling Pig Festival

Overview

Back in 2022, celebrity chef Adrian Richardson opened his first Brisbane restaurant with BŌS, a meat-heavy eatery with riverside views on Queen Street in the CBD. Now, he's bringing another debut to the Queensland capital — and, yes, it's also something tasty. Already a hit down south, including regularly selling out in Melbourne, Richo's Suckling Pig Festival is heading to the Sunshine State on Saturday, April 22–Sunday, April 23.

Taking place at BŌS, naturally, this pork-loving feast is all about its namesake dish, which comes crispy, roasted, succulent and tender. The event's four-course lineup comes in waves, starting with bacon and onion bread with pork butter, then moving onto cured meats handmade by Richardson. After that, the spread also spans various pig products grilled, fried and sautéed; pigs ears done in a balsamic glaze; bacon croquettes with bacon jam mayonnaise; bull boar sausages; and pork fried potatoes.

For your $225 ticket, dessert is included as well — presumably without pork, but it is the ingredient of the fest — and so are matching wines and beers.

Richo's Suckling Pig Festival is running for lunch on both days, kicking off at 12pm, with spots limited and bookings required.
