The four greatest words in the English language. Pork Crackling Advent Calendar. Our greatest achievement. The legacy we will leave this planet with. Before us no such savoury advent delight had ever been imagined. We righted that wrong. 

There are many things that go well together, but chilli and pork crackling seem to fit like a moth to a flame. Not that we are calling the porky morsel a moth, but hopefully you get our drift. 

We’re delighted to say that Snaffling Pig can be found in over 10,000 locations across the UK. 

Ever wondered where pork scratchings came from? Who invented the pork crackling? Well we try to answer that burning question, which is more important and more widely questioned than what is the meaning of life.

One of the piggin' awesome things about our Pig Bluey BBQ is just how little BBQ you need.

For when you want to cook for less than 20 minutes or at a 180˚C-250˚C range, grilling is your ideal option.

Smoking is cool, well this smoking is. This is what owning a Snaffling Pig Bluey is all about. Smoking. Don't be afraid of it. You can smoke pretty much anything. 

To roast or not to roast, that is the piggin' question. So when do you roast on a Snaffling Pig Bluey BBQ?

Take your mind back to physics. Fire = Heat + Oxygen + Fuel. More oxygen means more heat. So opening the valves on the top and bottom of the Pig Bluey will make it hotter. Closing them, makes it cooler. Shutting them completely stops oxygen and gives the flames dead. Keep your valves in sync — if your chimney is open 1cm, your door should be too.

Less time cleaning, more time grilling. That's how we roll

The heat deflector is a three-legged plate of wonder which fits inside the Snaffling Pig Bluey BBQ perfectly and is designed to deflect direct piggin' heat from the burning fires within, allowing for more evenly cooked food.

We love a sausage fest. So much so, we have just launched the Snaffling Pig Footlong Sausage Roll in Asda stores nationwide.

In 2019, Snaffling Pig Launched our Pig Bluey. A 16 inch ceramic kamado BBQ. Bright blue, highest of quality, it was something we were deeply proud of. Little did we know what this thing of piggin' beauty would go on to rival the market leaders, Big Green Egg. Alicia Miller of the Independent recently reviewed our BBQ and the Big Green Egg.

Two pints of lager and a packet of wasabi peas please....said 5% of the UK. Put away those lentil crisps: Brits want pork scratchings.

Snaffling Pig has grown to become the UK's second largest pork snack brand in less than 6 years. Only Mr Porky is left in our sights and we have no intention of slowing down.

Say 'Ola!' to our brand new-recipe Chorizo Bites!

Look out on our piggin' socials this week as we highlight some of the piggin' magic Global's Make Some Noise makes happen.

It's finally here.

We'll showcase the most awesome adverts from our snack-loving legends here and on social media over the next few weeks

We caught up with one of our legendary pub heroes, Tommy. Tommy runs The Marquis in Covent Garden, a proper boozer that boasts all the personality you’d expect from a proper geezer; welcoming, fun and relaxed. Like us, Tommy loves the classics; he has Only Fools & Horses on repeat, an EPIC range of booze and food, and an actual vinyl record collection (jog on Spotify…) that’ll have you in sing-song mode sooner than you can shout PARKLIFE.

Thank you to everyone who invested in Snaffling Pig this month. We have become the most popular food brand to have ever crowdfunded, raising just shy of £1.3m from 1,946 Swine Diners. 

Pork scratchings are a traditional, savoury snack found in various cultures across the world. We know that pork scratchings are popular, but we wanted to find out if they were healthy too.

Snaffling Pig Pork Scratchings, Pork Crackling and Porky Puffs contain little to no carbohydrates, which makes them a great ketogenic diet snack.
