With over 10 successful years in the Northern Ireland market, the brand has built a strong reputation for bold, flavour-packed convenience foods designed for busy consumers.

Founded by directors James Hutchinson, an experienced businessman and chef Gary Milligan in 2016, Go Pig has enjoyed significant success in Northern Ireland and expanded into Scotland last November, marking another milestone for the growing business.

The range of products, handcrafted in a purpose-designed factory in the historic Titanic Quarter, now includes loaded burritos and a variety of chilled ready meals, developed to meet growing demand for convenient food that also supports modern health trends.

The products focus on high-protein recipes, controlled calorie levels and sensible portion sizes, offering shoppers satisfying meals that fit into balanced lifestyles.

The move into the Republic of Ireland represents the next stage of growth for the quirky brand as it continues to build its footprint across the island.

James continues: “With demand rising for convenient, better-for-you meal solutions, Go Pig’s high-protein burritos and guilt-free, nutritious ready meals are well positioned to appeal to Irish consumers looking for flavour, convenience and portion control in the chilled category.”

Go Pig introduced its high-protein, low-calorie, fresh ready-meal brand, in Scotland in late November through a partnership with leading retailer CJ Lang there to supply SPAR stores across the nation.

The range, which included options like curries and burritos for convenience- seeking, health-conscious consumers is cooked via microwave or air fryer.

The Belfast-based company previously saw significant success in Northern Ireland, supplying to over 500 retailers, including Henderson Group’s SPAR and EUROSPAR network of convenience stores.
