Lechon baboy in Manila.

Everything you need to put a great lechon on the table in Metro Manila — styles, prices, and how it gets to your door.

Metro Manila is spoiled for lechon. Whether it's a birthday in Quezon City or a fiesta in the south, you can get a whole pig delivered hot — if you know what to order and when.

What you can get in the metro

Most of the styles are available across the metro: Cebu-style (herb-stuffed, no sauce), Luzon-style (milder, with sweet liver sauce), lechon belly for smaller groups, and lechon de leche for something more premium. Not sure which fits? See all the types compared.

Typical Manila prices

Price mostly tracks the size of the pig, from around ₱12,500 for a small up to ₱16,500 for a jumbo. Full breakdown on the price list, and use the size calculator to match a size to your headcount.

How it reaches you

Most sellers deliver across Greater Manila, often with same-week slots (and longer lead times in December). Lechon is best timed to arrive close to serving so the skin is still crisp — more in the delivery guide.

Before you order

Whoever you choose, the same checks apply: crisp even skin, seasoned-through meat, made fresh for your date, and clear terms. Run through the buying guide first, then see how to order.
