Some people wouldn’t dream of entering the business world with their families, but for Olly Kohn of the Jolly Hog, it was a no-brainer. The Bristol-born brand has grown from street food stalls to being in almost every major supermarket in the UK, with its unmistakable pig snout branding.
The Jolly Hog prides itself on tasty, honest food using prime cuts of British, Outdoor Bred pork for sausages and bacon. What started with the humble sausage has since branched out and expanded the range to beef, chicken and other pork products.
“We’ve always loved food. Lots of people say they’re passionate about food but it has always been our passion,“ said co-founder and former Harlequin, Bristol and Wales professional rugby player, Olly Kohn. “When I was playing rugby professionally I knew I needed something else because rugby doesn’t go on forever. I knew I needed to find a career in something I loved and I was passionate about.”
