the whole experience was great. from ordering to delivery (parcel force down to 1 hour window). the pig was amazing, my husband cooked it on a big green egg, we followed the website's instructions and butterflied the pig before cooking. Skin was crispy and it was enough for 10 adults plus sides.

The pig arrived exactly when I requested it to arrive and was really well packed. The instructions on the website as to how to cook it were spot, I was a little nervous but following the directions meant it was cooked to perfection. The pig was absolutely delicious and looked so impressive. I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you so much Basco. Judy Ayliffe

The best Christmas roast ever, so easy and so delicious even cold the next day which is quite unusual for pork. Eaten suckling pig many times in restaurants in Spain but first time cooking at home was just as good if not better! Can’t wait for an excuse to have another one.

Absolutely delicious! I’m from Sardinia and it’s the main meat for Xmas...having it available here made my day. It came out exactly like I wanted!

Our suckling pig was absolutely fantastic. The thinnest, crispiest crackling covering unbelievably succulent tender flesh. We enjoyed every bit from nose to tail with special mention going to the cheeks :) It arrived bang on time, packed very well, on ice, in perfect condition. The best suckling pig we've ever had. Will definitely order from Basco again.
