Three Brothers, one obsession. Our story............
Once upon a time there were three brothers. A rugby player, a ship broker and a cabinet maker.

The three brothers loved eating meat, especially pork and would continually talk about food, have great food competitions and even fight over food. One day they were having a heated debate about their favourite roast pork and sausages yet none could agree on the best. The debate became so tense they decided to solve the problem by creating their own porky delights which would one day become the best and most delicious in the whole land and BOOM, the Jolly Hog was born.

Throwing it back to a Jolly Olly Kohn Sausage Bagel Recipe 🥯

Crafted using our Outdoor Bred Proper Porkers, accompanied with Caramelised Onion Chutney, Brie and Rocket. Simple and super delicious!

Find Olly’s Sausage Bagel recipe below 👇

Ingredients:
- 1 Pack of Proper Porkers
- 750g strong white bread flour
- 450ml lukewarm water
- 7g sachet of instant yeast
- 3 tsp soft brown sugar
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 large egg
- poppy seeds
- Caramelise Onion Marmalade (we used Tracklements)
- Creamy brie (we used Castello)
- Rocket

Method:
- Mix the flour, salt, yeast and brown sugar with the lukewarm water, making sure the bowl of the mixer is scraped clean throughout to get a consistent dough.
- Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until the dough is silky, smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and leave to prove in a warm place for 90-120 minutes. After this time, the dough should have doubled in size.
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees celcius
- Shape your dough into 8 equal balls and then shape these into rings.
- Set some boiling water aside to boil, adding a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.
- Poach the bagel dough for 60 seconds on either side.
- Place the Proper Porkers in the oven for 20-25 minutes and cook until browned and piping hot
- Add egg wash and poppy seeds to the bagels, place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes
- Once all elements are cooked, assemble the bagels as shown in the video.

Saying goodbye to Pigsty 😔🐽

This Sunday, 4th October, we’ll be closing Pigsty’s doors for the final time.

From 3 shipping containers on Bristol’s Harbourside to nearly 10 years of Whole Hogs, Pig Wings, Pig Macs, Scotch Eggs and more bacon sarnies than we could ever count… Pigsty has been a very special part of The Jolly Hog story.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Pigsty over the years ❤️

But we’re not done just yet!

The grills are still on, the ciders are still cold and your favourites are on the menu until THIS SUNDAY.

Bristol, come down for one last Whole Hog and help us give Pigsty the send off it deserves.

To the home of The Jolly Hog, Hopefully we’ll see you again someday. 🐷
