FAQ’s

What goes with pulled pork on a bun?

Pulled pork is tender and smoky which means fresh coleslaw or salad will balance out the flavour well on a bun. You can also add pickles, kimchi, or jalapenos for a sourness to complement the pork, but really the possibilities are endless! 

What to serve with pulled pork burgers?

Pulled pork burgers can be served with a range of sides. You can’t go wrong with coleslaw or pasta salad on the side (or in the bun)! They also go well with hot chips, salads, or even Macaroni and Cheese. 

What toppings go on a pulled pork sandwich? 

There is no shortage of options when it comes to finding the right toppings to go on your pulled pork burger. The melt-in-your-mouth texture of pulled pork makes crunchy coleslaw the perfect companion, adding balance and tang to the smokiness of the pork. Add BBQ sauce for smoky sweetness, as well as caramelised onions, pickles, or smashed potatoes. You can even try some avocado or guacamole for a fresh hit!
