Get your Christmas all wrapped up with Blakemans

To most now is the time to be thinking of Christmas but, for the team at Blakemans, seasonal preparations have been in full swing for months.
Back at their base in Newcastle-underLyme, the Blakeman team have been hand rolling a steady 500,000 pigs in blankets per week since June aiming to make an estimated total of over 10 million this year to ensure that there will be a plentiful supply for all in time for the festive season. Sales of pigs in blankets have risen sharply year on year and are always an on-trend festive treat.
But did you know that they are also wonderful when battered and deep fried? James Morris, head of business development said:
“Having battered and deep fried our precooked pigs in blankets at various trade shows we found that we were always met with a queue of curious, excited and hungry visitors to our stand and we were left pigless every time. We knew we were on to something so we vigorously trialled and tested them in our purpose-built development kitchen and are delighted to announce that, once battered, they perform fantastically through the frying range each and every time. We are always looking for ways for our customers to get the most out of our products and these pigs in blankets are the ideal seasonal upsell item”
Blakemans pre-cooked pigs in blankets are individually quick frozen and come in handy to store 1kg bags. They cook beautifully through your frying range using your usual batter, needing no investment and causing no mess. When battered and deep fried directly from the freezer you can take out what you need, when you need with no waste.
If you’d like to stock the must have seasonal product this year and add these festive delicacies on your specials board then please see your local Blakemans supplier for details.
