Whole Suckling Pig, 4-5 Kg, Traditional Spanish Cochinillo, Free Range, Frozen Reviews

4.9 Rating 322 Reviews

When it comes to roast whole suckling pig, there is no finer meat in the world than the traditional Spanish Cochinillo. The soft and tender meat literally melts in the mouth whilst the crispy crackling will delight the senses with every forkful of this incredible delicacy. Unlike many of the commercially reared animals that you will find elsewhere, our whole suckling pigs are always kept with their mothers up to a maximum of 21 days. This is the only farming method that stays true to the traditional practices from which the name suckling pig was derived. Keeping things natural also delivers meat with the finest flavour and texture. Each one will arrive at your door ready to roast in the oven, allowing you to relax and look forward to the feast ahead. You will receive one frozen whole suckling pig, delivered on ice pads.

“Delicious. Fed 7 of us comfortably and I made two jars of rillettes with the leftovers. I would recommend allowing longer for it to defrost than the 12-24 hours they advise. It was still frozen solid in our fridge after 24 hours so needed a cold water bath. It’s vacuum sealed so this was easy. I had allowed extra time already so it was fine for our meal.”

“The pig arrived late, it was supposed to be delivered on the 20th but came on the 21st, I called numerous times but not once got through which was really disappointing and distressing as I needed the pig for an event. Another problem was once the pig did arrived there was no ice, no cooling system and the pig was warm and had a pungent smell which required us having to wash it multiple times to get rid of.”

Hello Lawrence, Thank you for your feedback, and after speaking to my team, it's unfortunate that the parcel was delayed whilst in transport, which was out of our control, and I can only apologise for this on behalf of the business. With regards to the parcel not having any Ice protecting the Suckling Pig, I have highlighted this with our Senior Warehouse Management team to investigate for me, as we always ensure that all chilled/frozen products we dispatch have accompanying ice as a basic rule, so this is a first for us not to have ice included In over 15 years of trading. I will message you directly once I have had the feedback from our internal investigations. Kind regards Miles & Team

“OMG! We had your suckling pig for lunch yesterday and everyone agreed that is was an incredible feast! Most of my guests had never tasted suckling pig before and were blown away with the flavour and the quality of the roast. The skin turned out crispy, the meat underneath was juicy and cooked to perfection using your recipe online. The 5kg piglet fed 6 people, with many having second helpings but still there were leftovers for me to enjoy today and tomorrow! Although not inexpensive, the price was worth every penny for the outstanding product that we enjoyed. I will definitely be back to buy again as it is a 'Wow!" and so easy to prepare. Thank you!”
