Description
Less frightening than it sounds, and nobody at the table forgets it. A suckling pig is young, tender and delicately flavoured, with soft meat under thin skin that roasts to crackling all over. Middle White, with its fine bones and sweet fat, is the breed chefs ask us for.
We butcher every pig for you, so there’s no wrestling a whole animal into a domestic oven. Whole or half, it arrives as the head, shoulder, middle and leg, with the middle tied by our butchers, ready to roast side by side. It needs little more than salt, a slow oven and time. Then it all goes in the middle of the table and everybody helps themselves.
Good to know: weights shown are minimum weights, so your pig may be a little heavier but never lighter, and you won’t pay for the difference. A whole pig suits a houseful; a half suits a smaller table.
Portion guide
Whole: 10kg serves fourteen to sixteen, 11kg serves sixteen to eighteen, 12kg serves eighteen to twenty.
Half: 5kg serves seven to eight, 5.5kg serves eight to nine, 6kg serves nine to ten.
Allergens: None
Cooking guide
Dry the skin thoroughly and rub it with oil and salt. Roast the pieces side by side, skin side up, at 160°C. Allow around two and a half hours for a half and three hours for a whole pig, until the meat is meltingly tender and reads 70°C at the thickest point.
Turn the oven up to 230°C for the last twenty to thirty minutes to blister the skin. Rest for twenty minutes before carving.
Storage and freezing
Always prepared to order and delivered chilled, in insulated packaging. All our meat is fresh, never frozen, so if you’re not ready to serve, you can freeze on arrival. Alternatively, follow the use by dates and keep in the fridge before cooking. And don’t worry if you won’t be in for the delivery – our packaging means your order will stay in peak condition for up to 12 hours.

We pack every order carefully, but if your delivery is late, damaged, incomplete or not properly chilled, please contact us on the day it arrives, on 01449 553606 or at [email protected]. Tell us your order number and send photos of the outer box, the packaging inside and the product labels.
