  really nice meal although i'd use less parsnip and replace with another root veg next time- bit too much parsnip for me!

  I enjoyed making this - takes very little preparation and it just cooks itself in the oven! I love parsnip so I really enjoy the flavour, the pork came out really tender and melt in the mouth! Lovely recipe.

  Tried this today and it was very tasty! We left the celery out due to personal preferences. We used extra dry cider but think it could have been just that wee bit better with only a dry one. Otherwise great and the pork became really tender after 2 hours in the oven. Lovely!

  Really tasty. Next time won't use as much stock as too much and needed extra flour to thicken. Wouldn't normally use pork in a hotpot dish as tends to be dry but this works well if cooked slowly.

  Nice recipe.Pork very tender. I didn't include celery. I did take the parsnips out after one hour so they didn't go too tender - will definitely do again

  Beautiful dish. The pork just melted in your mouth and I thought the amount of parsnips was just right. I might add an extra tbsp of flour next time as it might be nice for the sauce to be a bit thicker. I served it with mash and buttered leeks/peas, but it would be equally nice with some crusty bread.

  This was great the first day and sensational the next day. Next time I'll make the night before to ensure that I get that really wonderful cider flavor. Agree with adding more flour and less liquid, it was more soup like than I imagined.

  I served this as one if 3 slow cooker dishes for a family occasion; doubled the quantities and added celeriac and carrots. It was all eaten and lots of compliments about how delicious and how tender the meat was.

  Pork was amazing!! I added 2 tbsp of flour as other suggestions and next time would add some carrots. I hate celery but as I had some left over from Sunday roast used them and after being slow cooked with a the other flavours were lovely.

  Fantastic recipe. Very tasty, for those that would like the sauce to be thicker, take the lid off for the last half hour in the oven.
