Le Swine is a daytime café at 170 Upper Richmond Road West in East Sheen, created around a particular love of the British bacon butty. What began as a mobile food business now has a permanent neighbourhood home with a relaxed dining room and a menu that treats familiar café food with unusual care. Breakfast and lunch are served from Tuesday to Sunday.
The signature bacon butty layers carefully sourced bacon in a soft milk bun with butter and the kitchen's own mushroom ketchup. It captures the venue's approach by taking a simple national favourite and refining every component. Breakfast can also include granola with fruit compote, Greek yoghurt, blueberries and maple syrup, or toast with preserves.
At lunch, the cheeseburger combines aged beef, American cheese, onions, pickles and burger sauce in a lightly toasted milk bun. A fish bun uses golden fried cod, tartare sauce, cheese and hot sauce, while the lamb kebab brings together lamb kofte, esme, garlic sauce, onion salad, flatbread and pickles. These dishes retain the café's direct, satisfying style while drawing on wider flavours.
Coffee and simple sweet choices round out a visit, with tiramisu offering a richer finish. The café can also be hired privately, and the original vintage ambulance remains available for events beyond East Sheen. Whether diners visit for the famous sandwich or a longer lunch, Le Swine presents British comfort food with character and close attention to ingredients.
