The Jolly Hog, producers of British high-welfare bacon and sausages, has teamed up with condiment kings, Tracklements, to launch its brand new crackling wrapped Hog Roast with Sausage Meat Stuffing and Tracklements Bramley Apple Sauce.
Dining at home adventures are ever popular in households across the country with consumers enthusiastically buying-in to “meal for two” experiences that sees them conveniently explore new foods and cooking methods that they might not otherwise try for themselves. In fact, there has been a 17.6% increase in the slow cook category in the past three months alone.
The Jolly Hog Hog Roast makes the ideal meal for two and launches in time for the summer season of dining in our gardens alfresco-style. The Hog Roast also ensures home cooks master the all-important, but often elusive, perfect cracking and combines the best apple sauce from Tracklements with the best pork from The Jolly Hog to create a succulently tasty midweek or special occasion meal.
The homemade Hog Roast joins Thick Cut Pork Ribs and Barbecue Pulled Pork as part of
The Jolly Hog’s popular Slow Cook range. All made with Outdoor Bred, high welfare RSPCA Assured British pork.

Olly Kohn, co-founder of The Jolly Hog, said: “We love nothing more than putting some of our best tasting and top quality pork on the grills or in the heat and leaving it to do its thing over many hours. The new Hog Roast with Tracklements is the latest in our delicious Slow Cook range that allows home cooks to experience eating meat that has been cooked for hours at home with ease. The whole Slow Cook range has been created to deliver convenience without compromising on the taste and quality.”
“We’re over the moon to be partnering with Tracklements on the launch of our Hog Roast – they are the condiment kings and pride themselves on high quality and great taste – just like us! So it’s a partnership forged low and slow!”
Guy Tullberg, managing director from Tracklements, said: “Tracklements has perfected the art of making the UK’s tastiest condiments over the last 50 years – it’s a skill which can’t be hurried so we’re all in favour of taking time to create the best flavour, something Jolly Hog have done with this great meal. Our Bramley Apple Sauce, with its tangy, fresh, orchard taste is the perfect foil for meltingly tender hog roast. Food to cook quickly and savour slowly.”
“As a family business ourselves it’s great to team up with the Jolly Hog family to make such a delicious combination.”
The Jolly Hog’s new Slow Cook range is also launching in the brand’s new 100% recyclable packaging. The Jolly Hog is the first brand in the category to launch 10% recyclable packaging and the conscious company has reduced packaging overall by as much as 24% with no change to serving size.
Olly explained: “This is a big year for The Jolly Hog as we move closer to achieving our commitment of all of our packaging being 100% recyclable by the end of 2024. Our Slow Cook Range is just the latest step of packaging updates and with over 89% of our packaging already recyclable, we are well on our way.”
“By making small changes to our products we’re able to have a big impact on our packaging and overall footprint. For example, by adding our delicious Barbecue sauce directly on to our Ribs we’re removing 14% of the plastic in that product alone. We still have work to do to hit our commitment but it’s great to see this latest updated packaging on the shelves.”
The Jolly Hog range is Great Taste Award-winning and RSPCA assured meaning all meat adheres to the RSPCA’s high welfare standard. The entire The Jolly Hog product range is produced in the UK using outdoor bred, British pork.
