My husbands birthday and I needed something quick and Spanish, so Basco provided plenty of choice, a prompt service and delivered the boneless suckling pig to my door in the nick of time. Following the recipe found on this website to the letter, I created a wonderful roast, full of flavor, succulent, tender and very crispy skin. Now, bearing in mind this feeds 6 - 8 persons, my husband took advantage and ate all the crackling on his own, all grateful for the odd peace we were given! The only mistakes we made was leaving some of the skin on the BBQ as its getting rather old now so rather then loose anymore we transferred to the oven to finish off. Having lived in Spain for many years and still have our property there, it is good to know we have great Spanish food on our doorstep when the urge takes us. Many thanks Basco for making my husbands birthday and getting me out of a fix.

Absolutely delicious....cooked it for guests at Christmas and they are coming this weekend and have put in a repeat menu request! Succulent meat, easy to slice with the best crackling in the world. Must say, Basco are a very good company to deal with too.

Our New Year Feast this year was the boneless suckling pig. I cooked it slowly for 6 hours and then boosted the heat for half an hour to crisp the crackling. It was amazing in flavour and texture. I cannot recommend this enough and will be buying again when in stock. Friends of mine are also going to order in the future. The pork was finished the next day cold with chips and salad and was just as good. Oh and the rest of the crackling crisped up again when put in a hot oven for a few minutes.

Delicious suckling pig - best I've ever tasted. But I made two mistakes. I cooked it in a fan oven at too high a temperature: the vegetables were charcoal! And I cooked it too soon. On the day I roasted the pig the crackling was beautiful and so crisp. After two days in the fridge it wasn't as good, even when reheated briefly to high temperature. Next time out of the oven and onto the table! But don't let my mistakes put you off.
