The Real Squeal: The Story Behind Piggie Smalls Hog Roasts

The Real Squeal

Every great feast begins with a story — and at Piggie Smalls Hog Roasts, ours starts with two mates, a spark of foodie passion, and a name that makes people grin before they’ve even taken a bite.

We’re not just another hog roast catering company. We’re Will and Alex, a pair of food-loving event pros who believe in feeding people properly — with generous plates, local ingredients, and enough crackling to go around.

From Charity Cookouts to Crackling Kings

It all began with a charity cook-up. Alex, whose dad happens to be a rosette-awarded chef, grew up surrounded by sizzling pans, Sunday roasts, and a firm belief that food should always be about flavour and joy. Meanwhile, Will cut his teeth running events — the kind where keeping a crowd happy is an artform all on its own.

Put the two together and you’ve got a recipe for something special. One fundraiser later, the feedback was too good to ignore. People didn’t just want dinner — they wanted Piggie Smalls.

Why “Piggie Smalls”?

We’ll let you guess the inspiration… but let’s just say we like to keep things BIG on flavour, and SMALL on stress. It’s fun, it’s memorable, and it reflects what we’re about — hearty food with personality.

What We Do (Besides Making Terrible Pig Puns)

Sure, hog roasts are our bread and butter (or crackling and apple sauce, if you like), but we go further:

• Slow-roasted lamb that melts in your mouth.

• Yorkshire pudding wraps that turn heads at festivals.

• Loaded jacket potatoes that keep vegetarians and meat-eaters alike smiling.

We don’t do stingy portions. We don’t do bland buffets. We do feasts — proper, golden, plate-filling feasts.

Rooted in the North West & North Wales

From Cheshire weddings to Anglesey festivals, Merseyside corporates to Cumbria farm parties, we’re proud to bring our hog roast catering across the region. Why? Because local matters. We source as close to home as possible, keeping our menus fresh and our farmers happy.

Join the Piggie Party

At the end of the day, we just love feeding people. Whether it’s 50 guests at a rustic barn wedding in Cheshire or 500 hungry festival-goers in North Wales, Piggie Smalls brings the same energy: playful, professional, and always tasty.

So if you’re planning an event, remember: life’s too short for boring catering. Go big, go Piggie.
