Nutritious and Guilt-Free Meals from Belfast Set for Launch in Republic
Food shoppers across the Republic of Ireland will soon be able to enjoy unique
loaded burritos and other convenience meals crafted in Belfast’s Titanic
Quarter.
Successful Northern Ireland convenience food brand Go Pig, a FoodNI
member, is setting its sights on the Republic as it continues to expand its
presence across the UK and Ireland.
With over 10 successful years in the Northern Ireland market, the brand has
built a strong reputation for bold, flavour-packed convenience foods designed
for busy consumers.
Founded by directors James Hutchinson, an experienced businessman and
chef Gary Milligan in 2016, Go Pig has enjoyed significant success in Northern
Ireland and expanded into Scotland last November, marking another milestone
for the growing business.
The range of products, handcrafted in a purpose-designed factory in the historic
Titanic Quarter, now includes loaded burritos and a variety of chilled ready
meals, developed to meet growing demand for convenient food that also
supports modern health trends.
The products focus on high-protein recipes, controlled calorie levels and
sensible portion sizes, offering shoppers satisfying meals that fit into balanced
lifestyles.
The move into the Republic of Ireland represents the next stage of growth for
the quirky brand as it continues to build its footprint across the island.
James continues: “With demand rising for convenient, better-for-you meal
solutions, Go Pig’s high-protein burritos and guilt-free, nutritious ready meals
are well positioned to appeal to Irish consumers looking for flavour,
convenience and portion control in the chilled category.”
Go Pig introduced its high-protein, low-calorie, fresh ready-meal brand, in
Scotland in late November through a partnership with leading retailer CJ Lang
there to supply SPAR stores across the nation.
The range, which included options like curries and burritos for convenience-
seeking, health-conscious consumers is cooked via microwave or air fryer.
The Belfast-based company previously saw significant success in Northern
Ireland, supplying to over 500 retailers, including Henderson Group’s SPAR and
EUROSPAR network of convenience stores.
