A place of conversation and contemplation, it’s no surprise so many great British businesses have started down the local – and Snaffling Pig is no different.<\/p>\n

For Nick Coleman and Andrew Allen, a quick drink led to the pair discussing the recent rise and re-birth of classic British food and drink hitting menus and shop shelves across the country.<\/p>\n

With the craft beer revolution showing no signs of abating, the duo began to wonder why no one had revisited the much-loved British bar snack – the humble pork scratching.<\/p>\n

Served in pubs up and down the country for the past 250 years, the snack has been given a 21st<\/sup> century makeover by Snaffling Pig, while also attempting to retain its traditional charm and quality.<\/p>\n

The Berkshire-based start-up has 12 different flavours across its ‘porkfolio’, including salt and vinegar, sage and onion and sweet chili, while a deal with a brand with over 200 years’ heritage saw the arrival of the ham and Colman’s Mustard scratchings in March.<\/p>\n

Selling its pub grub in re-fillable glass jars, as well as foil bags, the snacks are currently available in 1,500 pubs across the UK as well as John Lewis, Selfridges, Notonthehighstreet.com and Center Parks – to name a few.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Dragons’ Den<\/em> back in August<\/a>, Allen and Coleman’s pig pitch was enough to lure Mr Moonpig himself Nick Jenkins to invest £70,000 for 10% equity, while an appearance on ITV’s This Morning<\/em> saw its jars of savoury treats voted one of the top non-chocolate advent calendars for 2016 – and led to 3,800 orders in just three hours.<\/p>\n

Expecting to more than triple revenue to an impressive seven digit figure in 2017, it’s little wonder Snaffling Pig has trotted into our Startups 100 ranking…<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
