Sales Executive
Serious Pig is a premium snack brand obsessed with satisfying the most discerning of tastes. We obsess over the quality, taste and texture of our products and have been doing so since 2010.
Serious Pig can be found in some seriously good stockists from passionate independent pubs, taprooms, farm shops and delis to iconic retailers such as Fortnum & Mason, destination pubs like Heston Blumenthal’s Hinds Head in Bray and progressive pub and bar groups like BrewDog.
