Petersham Pork Party

Black Betty is spitting out smoked pork belly, maple-glazed ribs, char-siu pork neck, bacon mash-n-cheese and plenty more.

Overview

Pork party. Yes, you heard right. With the explosion of everything kale across Sydney as of late, this is practically a godsend for the hungry carnivores among us. For one day, Petersham's Oxford Tavern is getting its smoke on with a strictly pork affair — no vegetarians allowed.

The Oxford Tavern may just be another pub jumping aboard the American BBQ meat train (is there a single restaurant in Sydney which doesn't serve pulled pork?) but thanks to their double chamber vertical smoker — adorably dubbed Black Betty — they're bringing a little touch of authenticity to the scene. Behind the grill will be executive chef Jamie Thomas, whose cooking you've probably tasted before at the (now deceased; RIP) Carrington, Forresters, Queenies and other Drink N Dine venues.

Oxford Tavern don't kid around when it comes to their protein. Some of the finger-lickin' goodness available on Saturday will be smoked pork belly, pulled pork, maple-glazed ribs, char-siu pork neck, pig tails, sausages, bacon beans and bacon mash-n-cheese. Pork party indeed.
