Award-winning Short Cut Bacon, handcrafted in Bentleigh.
Made from premium free-range pork loin, our Gold Medal-winning Short Cut Bacon is hand cured and slowly smoked in-house at The Lucky Pig. It delivers a generous eye of meat, crisp edges and rich smoky flavour without the excess fat of streaky bacon, making it the perfect choice for everyday breakfasts, sandwiches and family meals.
At The Lucky Pig, we still cure and smoke our own bacon because we believe quality starts with doing things properly. Every batch is made with the same attention to detail that has helped our butchery earn multiple state and national awards for quality.

Luke's Butcher's Tip
Cook Short Cut Bacon over medium heat rather than high. This allows the fat to render slowly while keeping the eye of the bacon juicy. If you're making sandwiches or burgers, take it off the heat just before it's fully crisp, as it will continue to crisp while resting.
Perfect for
- Full cooked breakfasts
- BLT sandwiches
- Carbonara
- Loaded baked potatoes
- Burgers
- Breakfast wraps
- Weekend brunches
