Great range of flavours and a good quality product. Love the little sample tubs and the fact that the packaging is all resealable to help keep things fresh... Not that they lasted that long!

Love this one 😄🐷
So glad you’re enjoying the range and the sample tubs — and yes, the resealable packaging is there to keep them fresh… although they rarely last long enough to need it!
Really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a great review.

Glad the scepticism didn’t last long and even happier you’ve both been back for more — that’s the ultimate compliment. 10 out of 10 is what we like to hear!
Thanks so much for the support.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your review and sorry for the frustration caused.
The second payment was taken because the Subscribe & Save option was selected on your original order, which creates an automatic recurring payment. It’s not taken without authorisation, but we completely understand how this can be missed at checkout.
If you’d like this cancelled or refunded, please contact us directly with your order details and we’ll get it sorted for you.

A lot better!
This batch of Salt 'n Vinegar pork scratchings were by far better than all the previous ones I had ordered. The salt and vinegar spice was distributed evenly and all the pieces are big enough throughout in all the packs, whereas before I've had a lot of pork scratching crumbs in the last quarter of the packs. So I would say there has been a huge improvement!

Really pleased you’ve noticed the improvement — consistent seasoning and proper chunky pieces is exactly what we’re aiming for. We’re always working on refining batches, so it’s brilliant to hear that’s coming through.
Thanks for sticking with us and for taking the time to share the feedback.

First class service from start to finish. The website was easy to navigate around and ordering was clear and straightforward
Postage was free and the items came within a few days.
The pork scratchings were gorgeous, just the right amount of crunch and soft fat, we ordered the optional triple seasoning so they were extra tasty, i love a salty scrathing and these were perfect.
I would definitely recommend

So glad the whole experience hit the mark — from easy ordering and quick delivery to that perfect crunch-to-soft-fat ratio (you clearly know your scratchings 👌). And the triple seasoning… bold move, great choice!
Thanks so much for the recommendation and the support — it genuinely means a lot.

Amazing flavour …
I only ordered them a couple of days ago, they came this morning. I don't usually eat pork scratchins but had some of my mates the other week. I have only had the salt and vinegar ones so far and they are amazing. Looking forward to trying the curry and the bacon ones. I will be ordering more next month.

Always good when someone who “doesn’t usually eat scratchings” gets converted! Delighted the Salt & Vinegar hit the spot, and you’ve got some cracking flavours lined up with Curry and Bacon 👌
We’ll be ready for your next order next month 😉
Thanks so much for the support.

Best pork scratchings by far
Best pork scratchings by far and, now this company has fixed its delivery issues, they are my go-to Keto snack provider. Try mixing the maple and the bacon flavours together for a taste sensation!

Thanks for making us your go-to Keto snack, that means a lot.

Long wait and expensive…
Long wait for such an expensive delivery! Scratchings were okay but for £18 for 500g I will not be ordering again. I ordered on a Thursday evening and received the product the following Wednesday. Packing was fine, taste was fine but far to expensive for what it is.

Hi there,
Thanks for the honest feedback — we appreciate you taking the time to share it.
Sorry you felt the wait was too long. From Thursday evening to Wednesday is within our standard delivery window, but we understand that expectations can vary and we’re always working to keep things moving quickly.
On price, we know we’re not the cheapest on the market. We focus on small-batch production, quality pork rind, proper seasoning, and consistent crunch, but we completely respect that value is personal.
Thanks again for giving us a try.

Nothing better than a proper cracking bag of scratchings. Thanks for the brilliant feedback, we’ll keep doing what we’re doing!
Samuel @ Cool Hog
Slow postage but overall good
Took a week to pack and despatch but once shipment notification was received it arrived the next day.
In terms of the scratchings themselves they are cooked to a high standard, with shop bought scratchings you play the tooth break lottery but every one had a lovely blend of crunch without being too puffy or far too hard.
I bought the original, sweet chilli and maple flavoured. Out of the bags they were a little on the side of over-seasoned for my taste despite not selecting the option for more. I appreciate you need to cater to a broad range of palates and my tastes may differ but I feel that less is more in this case. Once I’d shook off the excess seasoning dust with a seive they were delicious.

Hi Liam,
Thanks for such a detailed and balanced review, we really appreciate it.
Sorry for the slower dispatch time on this occasion. We aim to get orders out quicker than that, but I’m glad once it left us it reached you the next day.
Really pleased you rated the cook on them, “tooth break lottery” is exactly what we try to avoid 😅 Consistent crunch without being rock solid is the goal.
On seasoning, that’s genuinely helpful feedback. We do season to suit most palates, but you’re absolutely right, less can be more for some people. We’ll feed that back internally. And fair play for the sieve method… that’s commitment to the cause 😂
Thanks again for giving us a try and for the constructive feedback.

Scratchings and seasoning
The scratchings are very good quality and the flavours are great but the salt and vinegar is very overpowering due to the amount used. The separate seasoning is also great but disappointed that it didn’t come in a jar/shaker as pictured in the website but instead in a plastic tub which makes sprinkling over food more difficult.

Great to hear you’re enjoying the quality and flavours overall. We’ll definitely take the salt & vinegar note on board, it’s meant to be punchy but not knock-your-head-off strong!
Sorry about the seasoning packaging too. We’re always tweaking things behind the scenes, but I understand how that could be frustrating if it didn’t match what you expected.
Appreciate you taking the time to leave this 🐷
