After 100,000 long years of human evolution we finally
reached culinary perfection when we created
‘The bacon sandwich’
D.I.Y KIT
THE STORY SO FAR...
It was after founder James made his way into work early one morning and pilfered of one of his head chef Bruno Loubet’s latest creations that he discovered just how good a humble bacon butty could taste.
After forgiving him for the stolen sarnie and encouraged by his enthusiasm, Bruno backed James and Le Swine was born – a commitment to the bacon butty!
Launched in 2014, to a sold-out weekend at Jamie Oliver’s Big Feastival, we originally served straight from a vintage Austin Morris ambulance, which was beautifully restored by James’ Dad.
Today you can now find us slingin’ sarnies 7 days a week from our permanent site in Spitalfields Market, London.
But don’t worry: We still get the ol’ girl out on the road. We cater for all types of private events, and serve our sarnies at the country’s best festivals, including Wilderness, Lost village and Glastonbury!
The Food
Each individual part, lovingly created by us — from our lightly toasted milk and caramelised onion bun, to the bacon butter to our homemade ketchups.
The bacon comes from a small family run butchers in Lancashire. Their philosophy is simple, the happier and healthier the pigs, the better pork they will produce. We use their old fashioned middle bacon, which comes from their outdoor reared and hand selected piggies for this particular middle-cut – a mix of back bacon as well as streaky.
The best of both worlds.
With the addition of a runny fried Clarence court duck egg, you now have London’s best bacon butty.
We like to try to do the right thing at Le Swine and strive to work only with the best suppliers around, who share the same passion for quality and sustainability as ourselves.
Check out the menu below for all our other classics.
Private Hire
We cater all types of private events.
Whether it be late-night burgers and fries on the dance floor or a full post-wedding brunch with bacon & egg butties & our signature Bloody Mary’s, we’ve got you covered.
Our team of chefs will take care of any dietary requirements or special requests.
So If you would like to see our beautiful sixties ambulance at your event, get in touch with our dedicated events team and we’ll be happy to discuss your needs.

A few nice words from our clients
"Le Swine is DIVINE. Without doubt, the best bacon sarnies in town! James and the boys are as charming as their sandwiches are delicious, their service was first class and our team were over the moon with the food including their veggie & vegan options. I’m forever telling people to check them out, I should start charging for commission ;)"
“Le Swine were nothing short of heroic at our 24hr event, providing excellent food at lunch, dinner and brunch at 3 different locations on site. James and his team were quick and easy to deal with, kept a cool head and an even cooler truck. And most importantly: everything on their menu was fantastic! We will be back in touch and would heartily recommend to others”
