We're driving along at tortoise pace as we eagerly look for the iconic iron pig that guards the shack.
We've come on a Sunday around 3-ish on purpose. With only 4 people in front it's no doubt we're lucky - the sign next to us apologising in advance for the wait - which can take up to 45 minutes....
Hot fuss ---
And it's certainly living up to it!!
You don't get sides with your mains - and to be honest you don't need them.
Come hungry - very hungry.
Most people leaving as we arrive are packing their carnitas goodies to take home. This is not food that can be left behind without regret!
With all it's startlingly good reviews i feel like i need to find something not quite right. Apart from the restless wait to indulge [which in reality was all of 18 minutes]; there isn't anything...
Some of the best pulled pork i've tasted comes in the majority of their mains.
I'm a sucker for pork belly [bottom left] - this one was so soft chewing was a waste of time, it just falls apart in your mouth. I won't deny that i missed the crackling though
The homemade carnitas sauce they serve with the chips should come bottled! Made with bacon fat, tomatoes and other surprises i found myself pouring it over everything. And the Snack Shack Burger comes with bacon jam. Yes, bacon jam!!!
