“The quality of the whole suckling pig and the boneless suckling pig was excellent and the entire service from getting an initial query answered by telephone and then placing an order via the website through to delivery was 1st class. This was my first time cooking suckling pig and I followed the simple recipe on the site for cooking it traditional style (butterflied) and it was very tasty, with crispy crackling and tender juicy meat. Next time I think I will try cooking it on the rotisserie to compare cooking methods - any excuse to have it again!”

“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.”
