Pig's Pizzas Pop-Up at The Butcher’s Hook

Pig's Pizzas join us every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, serving fresh, hand-stretched pizzas packed with flavour.

Why We’ve Teamed Up with Pig's Pizzas

Pig's Pizzas began as a summer pop-up in 2022 and has quickly become a go-to destination for fresh, hand-stretched, Neapolitan-style pizzas crafted with top-quality, locally sourced ingredients. They operate from their charming trailer "Porky", bringing a curated, ever-changing menu that caters to meat lovers, vegans, and everyone in between.

We're proud to partner with a multi-award-winning team. Pig's Pizzas have garnered accolades, including Slice-O-Mania National Pizza Champion (2023 & 2024), PAPA Pizza Chef of the Year finalist, and British Street Food Awards finalist, and are regulars on the market circuit. Their reputation for flavour and quality makes them the perfect fit for our pub.
