How should I prepare and cook the whole suckling pig at home?

For the best results, allow the pig to reach room temperature before cooking. The most popular preparation is roasting, either in a large domestic oven or over a spit roast/barbecue for that stunning centerpiece.

Packaging

All our orders are dispatched in a custom made packaging solution laboratory tested to achieve a temperature of between 0°C and 8°C for up to 48 hours in warm conditions, operating within the Food Safety Guidelines. Our Boxes are made from a very durable walled outer cardboard carton, which is then lined with 6 x Insulating Cardboard Cavities combined with food safe gel ice packs.

Not only are the materials used 100% safe for food packaging but they are also reusable and, once you have finished with them, they are easy to dispose of.

Cardboard has one of the most accessible recycling systems, simply contact your local authority for more information.

100% plant based & organic
Fully kerbside recyclable
Totally sustainable
Plastic free
No matter how it is disposed of, it will not impact the environment
Over 90% of material used to create the system is recycled

As for the cooler gels open the plastic pack and mix the gel contents in with the soil around your plants. It's a very efficient water retainer to keep plants thriving if they've been without rain for a while, and the gel will absorb both water and nutrients in the soil or your compost, so the plants can take them up as needed.

Dayne Watkins

Having received my first delivery from these guys at the beginning of the month, I am about to place my second order. Blown away by the quality of the produce (awesome doesn't even come close) and the fact that they delivered direct to my door (some 30 miles away)! I will NEVER buy supermarket meat again - thank you!
