Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The jerk-glazed pork was a standout, praised for bold, well-seasoned flavour; the pineapple slaw added a bright contrast that many enjoyed.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this straightforward to prepare, though some noted the pork needed a few extra minutes beyond the suggested roasting time.
- Suggestions: Cook bulgur in stock instead of water to add depth, and consider adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to boost its flavour. Some reviewers also suggested adding more sauce for the pork, and a touch more acid or pineapple in the slaw.
- Leftovers: One reviewer noted the dish yielded generous leftovers, though pork tenderloin is best enjoyed fresh as it can dry out when reheated.
- Spice level: The dish is labelled spicy but several reviewers found the heat quite mild and manageable, even for those sensitive to spice.
