***
Born in Pitt near Winchester into a farming family, Tom was building pits and smokers to make the most of his own pigs from the age of 16. With experience working at The Ledbury, Neal's Yard Dairy and under Jeremy Lee at The Blueprint Café, Tom formed Pitt Cue Co in 2011 at the age of 22 as a food truck on London's South Bank. After the initial summer trading on the South Bank, by which point the operation was greeted with hundred-deep queues hours before opening, the opportunity arose to open a bricks-and-mortar restaurant.

Do you raise crosses too? What breed are the pigs with spots? I have Mangalitsa crosses… that’s why I ask! Great video and happy pigs💚
