  4. Add enough water to cover it, chopped carrots, onion, thyme and garlic, cover it with tinfoil and cook it in the oven at 110 degrees for 10 hours
  5. Once its nice and soft, start picking the meat out from the pigs head and put in to a mixing bowl

At the hotel we make the chutney from gooseberries grown in the Berwick Lodge kitchen garden. Click here for more information on where we source our pork from.
