Charity Work, Chops & a Whole Lotta Hog

It all started when Alex and Will crossed paths doing charity work with North Wirral Round Table. Between flipping burgers for a good cause and swapping kitchen war stories, they realised they shared the same burning passion for cooking (and eating, obviously).

Alex was basically born into hospitality — his dad was a multiple rosette–awarded head chef, so the kitchen was his playground from day one. After 20 years in the industry, Alex can turn a hog into a masterpiece with one hand while saucing up your plate with the other.

Will grew up in his parents’ corner shop before moving into hospitality, climbing from potwash to assistant manager over eight years. Weekends meant running events for 50 to 250 guests — from ukulele festivals to hot air balloons. After a stint in the thrilling world of insurance, food called him back, and teaming up with Alex was the perfect return to the kitchen.

Together, they created Piggie Smalls — where top-tier hog roasts meet a sprinkle of fun, a dash of personality, and the kind of service that makes your guests talk about your event long after the last bite.

At Piggie Smalls, it’s more than just roasting meat — it’s about bringing people together, one juicy, crackling-covered slice at a time.
