WHAT IS OUR BONELESS SUCKLING PIG? When it comes to roasting joints, there is no finer meat in the world than the traditional Spanish Cochinillo. The soft and tender meat literally melts in the mouth as the flavours dance around your tongue, delighting your senses with every forkful of this incredible delicacy. Unlike many of the commercially reared animals that you will find elsewhere, our suckling pigs are always kept with their mothers. 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, not to mention the crispiest crackling you've ever tasted, so you can serve a truly banquet worthy dish in the comfort of your own home. Thankfully, however, you do not need to be a master chef to create a dish to die for when you use one of our prime piglet's. Each one will arrive at your door pre-prepared: boned and oven-ready, allowing you to relax and look forward to the feast ahead. So, why not take advantage of our excellent suckling pig prices and buy one of our extra special suckling pigs yourself. HOW DO I COOK MY BONELESS SUCKLING PIG? Whether you choose to roast yours traditionally (Cochinillo asado) or cook one on the barbecue for friends and family, the results will remain the same - fantastically flavoursome. HOW WILL I RECIEVE MY BONELESS SUCKLING PIG? You will receive one frozen vac pac of boneless suckling pig delivered on ice pads. If you are not using the suckling pig straight away, store in the freezer. If you are, then you will need to thaw it in the fridge for at least 24 hours before cooking. PLEASE NOTE THAT WEIGHTS CAN VARY FROM BONELESS SUCKLING PIG TO BONELESS SUCKLING PIG, SO EXPECT A SLIGHT VARIATION ON THE THE WEIGHT OF YOUR BONELESS SUCKLING PIG.

Not only was the suckling pig excellent, but it was equally matched by the service and civility of the company.

It arrived in time for Christmas and in good frozen condition. Made the Christmas day lunch center piece, stuffed with fresh from the garden herbs, lemon thyme, sage and rosemary cooked over vegetables as per your recipe. It came out of the oven looking wonderful and tasting fantastic there is none left so I will be ordering again.

Our favourite. Tender and delicious. It shrinks though. So cook more than you’ll need.

We had this for lunch yesterday and I am afraid it was a bit of a disappointment. It shrunk a lot when cooked so can't imagine the whole thing feeding 10-12. We cut it in half as there are only 2 of us and we didn't have hardly any leftovers. Also the skin did not crackle at all. That, of course, is the best bit (well normally would be) but this ended up more chewy than anything else. We tried different ways to sort this and it either stayed the same or started to burn. Also didn't seem like the whole pig, only the porchetta, so should be labeled this way. It was good, but at the price, I don't think we'd get it again.

Superb but do not be tempted to not cook for as long as recommended... it needs the time to let the fat melt inside. It was delicious.
