What people say, in short
Porkies draws recommendations across Perth discussions, with Bayswater repeatedly named. Diners praise the brisket, one singles out the sausage, and two see it as a more affordable alternative to Big Don's. The reservations are worth noting: some report inconsistent food, two find the ribs less convincing, and a Bayswater diner feels the servings have shrunk. Two commenters also dislike the exterior, although one finds the interior pleasant.
