The Snaffling Pig Co is the British pork crackling brand that turned a pub snack into something people actually give as a present, and its subscriptions put a fresh supply through your letterbox every month. You can choose a monthly crackling and beer box, a mystery box of porky snacks, a pick and mix bundle you build yourself, or a prepaid six or twelve month crackling plan. It is a niche treat rather than an everyday essential, but as snack subscriptions go it is one of the most fun, and one of the easiest gifts to get right for a crackling fan.

How the Snaffling Pig subscription works
You pick a subscription on the Snaffling Pig website and your first delivery arrives a few days after you order. On the monthly crackling and beer plan you choose a starting flavour and receive a different flavour each month, and you can manage the flavours, frequency, quantity and date from your online account. The prepaid crackling plans follow a set calendar of flavours, with a chilli or no chilli version, and the six month plan renews automatically, with an email before the renewal date so you can cancel or make changes. The monthly subscriptions can be cancelled at any time. All of them can be sent as a gift.
What makes Snaffling Pig different
- Award-winning crackling. The brand has collected twelve Great Taste Awards, and the flavours go well beyond plain salted, from Marvellous Maple and Low & Slow BBQ to Mighty Mustard and Hot to Trot Habanero.
- Beer in the box. Add the brand’s own Twisted Tail pale ale, a 4.2% British-brewed beer, and you have a ready-made pub night at home.
- Choice or surprise. Few snack subscriptions let you choose between a fixed flavour, a mystery selection and a box you build entirely yourself.
- A properly British gift. The brand started with £500 and a mission to get people talking, and its tongue-in-cheek packaging is a big part of the appeal.
Is Snaffling Pig worth it?
For a crackling lover, yes. The quality is far above the bags you find behind a pub bar, the monthly flavour change keeps it interesting, and the prepaid plans are a clever, no-effort gift that lasts all year. It is less convincing as something to buy for yourself every month: at £19 for six packs and two beers you are paying for the convenience and the gifting, and the Pig ‘N’ Mix bundle is the better buy if you just want to stock up on your favourite flavours. It is also, obviously, no use to vegetarians, and the snacks may contain peanuts, gluten or mustard.
