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.

If you follow a gluten free lifestyle but would like to enjoy a packet of Snaffling Pig Pork Scratchings, we help identify which flavours are Gluten Free.

Come meet the team. But less of the day job, we share with you the jobs they do behind the scenes to keep the porky wheels greased up and ready for some piggin' action. These are the the UNSUNG HEROES OF PIG. 

A lot of our peers and fellow foodies wouldn't dream of owning a warehouse. The stress, workload and cost is sometimes too big a burden to worry about. But that doesn't bother us.

Fancy a glimpse behind the porky curtain and see what Snaffling Pig HQ really looks like?

It's fair to say, we didn't have all the answers when we started the brand, back in 2015. Launched as Giggling Pig with a more artisan look, we moved to a pink snout, renamed as Snaffling Pig, then pushed the vibrancy before dialing it back to a cleaner look. 

I co-founded Medical Supermarket my first company back in 2010 with Udhi. It's fair to say when we started we had no clue on, well, anything. We just stumbled from one mistake to the next.

We are delighted to be using British Pork in our Gammon Steaks. Not only this, but our gammon steak range is also Red Tractor. Have a read here to learn more.

Hold onto your piggin' hats. We've got our gam(e)...mon face on and our sights set to take the uncooked meat category by storm.

We explain the key differences between pork scratchings, pork crackling and pork rind.

Our first live Pig Tails event happened this week and it was off the piggin' hook. Over 100 food founders and 6 of the finest food start-ups in the UK sharing their screw ups, learnings and proudest moments. Loved it

Our resident Head of Happiness, explains how she took us from heads down at our desks at lunchtime to bounding round a field.

It's a feeling that's been with me all my life, ever since I can remember. I battle with it every single day. I'm scared that one day somebody will realise that I haven't got a clue what I'm doing. 

As I attempt to piece together what feels like the 74th piece of toddler furniture it finally dawns on me that I’m about to have my 3rd baby. Three kids?! Yes that’s right I’ve rolled the dice again and here we go. 

Aperol Spritz, the bright orange drink that just has to be Instragram'd

Now I’m just your average joe that works at The Snaffling Pig. That has made a huge lifestyle change in the past 3 months.

We've been out and about learning all things culture with Ella's Kitchen, Innocent, Candy Kittens, Popchips and Vibe. Find out about what we learnt from these AWESOME brands.  

Now, we are human. And hell do we enjoy a good ol’ piggy wiggle throughout the week to keep us going. We’ll let you into our little secret, these are the top 3 tracks that are keeping us going at the land of pig this week! 

So for those of you who pay close attention to Snaffling Pig will notice that this week we launched a peanut. A peanut covered in pork dust? Nope. A peanut cooked in pig fat? Nope. A peanut that tastes of pork? Nope. These were just some of the questions we've been asked this week about our vegetarian friendly snack!

With my limited amout of knowledge of the Keto diet, I try and explain what it's all about.

Celebrating success in the shade of the M4 and an upside crab manoeuvre that will take me weeks to recover from.
