The Lincolnite went to try it.
Papa’s Fish & Chips on Cleethorpes Pier introduced the two foot deep fried pig in blanked on December 4, after a successful trial run last year.
Labelled the ‘hog in a duvet’, it is a 60cm long sausage, wrapped in bacon and battered before being fried. Think of it as a gigantic battered sausage with bacon included.
The sausage can either be cut in half or served whole, depending on if you feel like saving it for later. | Photo: Steve Smailes for The Lincolnite
The chippie is no stranger to unique challenges, having also sent fish and chips up to space before, but the hog in a duvet is more for charity than anything else.
