Edition II of World Meat Series 2022 presents a showcase of meats by Dingley Dell Pork, a family-owned farm from Suffolk, England. Raised and developed on the East Coast of Suffolk, ‘The Suffolk Red’ pigs were bred for superior marbling and a well-bodied flavour. The World Meat Series is an annual seasonal showcase of unique, undiscovered meats sourced from across the world.

Bedrock Bar & Grill introduces the second edition of its 2022 World Meat Series, featuring exquisite Dingley Dell Suffolk Red Pork. Launched six years ago, the quarterly seasonal showcase brings to the table the finest cuts of premium, unique and lesserknown meats from across the globe.

For the remaining promotional period, diners can top up to opt for wine pairings to complement the delightful tasting menu, or order à la carte specials to go with Bedrock Bar & Grill’s popular mainstays.

The one-of-a-kind Suffolk Red Duroc breed from Dingley Dell Pork is well distinguished for its incredibly high levels of intramuscular fat or marbling within their meat, which contributes to unprecedented flavours and unparalleled tenderness. Run by third generation farmers, awardwinning producer Dingley Dell Pork is a family farming business based on the East Coast of Suffolk and has been around since 1999.

The Dingley Dell pigs are free ranging – born, reared, and grown outdoors all year round in an optimal stress-free environment, providing the finest quality of pork. The incredible marbling on Dingley Dell Suffolk Red Pork is second to none, because they recognise how intramuscular fat is a heritable trait that equates to marbling and flavour. Hence, through their exclusive on-farm breeding programme, the farmers at Dingley Dell scan and cross breed their most heavily marbled Red Duroc breeds to increase the amount of intramuscular fat in each generation of pigs, obtaining the utmost marbling possible, which directly translates to an impeccable flavour profile.

Furthermore, their pork is regularly assessed by a panel of leading chefs, producers, and scientists, to ensure consistency in its exceptional quality. Dingley Dell Pork also specialises in a wide range of cuts from their beautifully marbled pork such as the charcuterie, the fresh cuts, or the cured collection. In addition, their own team of highly skilled master butchers guarantee the finest tasting cut of pork with consistency, quality, and perfect presentation.

Come with an Appetite

I recently had the great pleasure to experience the wonderful tasting menu at Bedrock Bar & Grill.  This five-course tasting menu was full of flavor sensations.  The specialty of this tasting menu was the Dingley Dell Suffolk Red Pork. 

The first thing I recommend is make visit your cheat day for carbs, simply to try the delicious, handmade flatbread with garlic confit and butter.  It was divine and everyone in our party wanted more.  Only a few of us dared to partake, but even if you restrain – the one portion will be divine. 

Our tasting menu was with wine pairing.  If you like wine, I recommend this option.  The suggested wines work well with the meal and add dimension to your experience.  If you are not partial to wine, then skipping it will only leave you more room for all that is good. 

The first course was a well balance charcuterie platter, including specialties of well cured and delicious meats.  Besides the delicious flatbread, you will have the accompaniment of pickled cucumbers, marinated olives, and a touch of Manchego cheese.  This course can be ordered a la carte, should you not have the appetite for a full five course tasting. 

The bacon wrapped scallops are lovingly prepared and full of flavor.  This writer is temperamental about scallops but knows well prepared seafood when tasted.  This item is special to the tasting menu, as is the surprisingly delectable Breaded port trotters.  This lovely morsel was almost a confit of pork trotter meat, and it was served with a tasty ‘gribiche’ sauce and pickled pumpkin. 

The prune stuffed pork tenderloin course was flavorful and done well.  The sides of sauteed onions and spinach made a lovely plate.  This is another item available a la carte, and it is tasty as and entre. 

The desert is a Chocolate Pot De Crème and it is paired with a lovely Penfold’s Port (20 years).  I thought all the wine pairings made a good match, and this was a cut above. 

Do not try this tasting menu with a light appetite.  There is abundance of food and flavor to savor.  Also, do not try eating this on the run.  Leave yourself time to enjoy every bite.  Best also to bring a friend or a group.  Festive food sharing, especially with wine pairing, makes for a special experience.
