Wednesday pork

Every Wednesday, we serve roast pork made from Ladegaard Duroc meat. It is pork with more flavor, more juice, and proper quality. The pigs are raised with care: three animal welfare hearts, access to exercise, and a focus on the animals' well-being throughout. You can see and taste the difference, and yes, we are happy to vouch for that.

Fried pork ad libitum with all the trimmings 225 kr.
