It's what we call Pork Scratchings
BARS & PUBS - Most sell scratchings, some don't!

This page reviews the pubs that sell pork scratchings. There is a picture of the pub and another of the bar to which you can find it behind!

We fully understand that you get pork scratchings from the pub, so it could be argued that this site should be called 'Hairy Pub Snacks' but the because we think the pub is where you already are you'll get scratchings from behind the 'Bar' of the said pub. So to be clear it's not where you get them from if you are on the street, but where you get them from when you are in the pub, and this would be at the bar.

Landlords, managers, bar staff and pot boys, Tell us where your Pub is, and the Pork Scratchings they sell, send us a picture of the pub, the scratchings at/behind the bar, and/or a picture of the pack, come on get involved.

We really would appreciate your pictures, so feel free to send us them, take the pics with a digital camera or if you forget it, just use your mobile phone, we are happy to receive anything you can send us.
