Two South Yorkshire entrepreneurs are snaffling up a piece of the lucrative pub snacks market after successfully reinventing the humble pork scratching.
Rotherham’s John Walker and David Mace launched Beerpig in late 2019. Despite losing their entire customer base as the pandemic hit at the outest, the pork scratchings - sold warm directly from the bar - can now be found in more than 250 locations around the UK.
Insurance broker John hit on the idea of producing warm pork scratchings when he decided to conduct an experiment at home, finding it improved the flavour.
