Porchetta

The Ginger Pig

£28.27

Traditional Italian celebration roast. Tender pork middle, stuffed with fresh garlic and fennel, rolled and tied ready for roasting. We leave a good layer of fat under the skin and score it finely to make sure you get the very best crackling. Our take on an Italian porchetta; made with high welfare pork, rolled with a stuffing of fresh herbs, fennel and garlic. Tip: Take out of the fridge one hour before cooking to ensure it cooks through evenly. Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 425°F/ mark 7. Dry the skin of the pork using kitchen paper (or ideally leave uncovered on a plate overnight in the fridge

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as GINGER PIG LIMITED, number 03971587. Checked 2026-09-06.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
