SNAFFLING PIG IS ON THE HUNT FOR A ROAD HOG

About Snaffling Pig Co.

In 2015, with £500, we started Snaffling Pig, a premium food and drink brand fuelled by a passion for making flavoured pork crackling.

That belief morphed into an obsession – to the point that after we launched a range of Great Taste Award-winning, in our opinion, frankly awesome flavoured pork crackling along came whopping great big advent calendars, beers, ciders, sauces, a cookbook and a wide range of gifts, straight from the porky gods themselves. We now have our sights set on the £3.2 billion pork market with our range of gammon steaks, bacon, sausages, pork joints and chilled snacking.

We sold over 5 million units last year, all distributed by our team of 10 in Yattendon, Berkshire.

In 2016 we appeared on Dragons' Den gaining investment from Nick Jenkins, founder of Moonpig and in 2017 we were awarded Virgin Foodpreneur, managing to high-five Richard Branson himself.

In 2019 we starting crowdfunding. As we write this frankly EPIC job role we are the 3rd most popular food brand to have crowdfunded, with over 1,100 investors. This group of awesome individuals will be called our SWINE DINING CLUB.
