Grilled Portuguese Sandwiches & Handcut Fries
Who are we?
We are one of Londons only Portuguese street food businesses, We specialised in Grilled ‘Churrasco’ style chicken and the ubiquitous ‘Bifana’; a thinly sliced Pork Collar sandwich marinated with garlic, wine & bay leaf, grilled & stewed until tender, served in locally baked Portuguese style bread rolls & homemade, handcut fries.
We have taken what we loved eating most during our childhoods in Portugal & translated those dishes to recreate that nostalgia and share what we craved with the UK!
Starting in 2021 after 10 years in the restaurant industry on a self-converted cargo bike, we’ve now outgrown the little cargo bike and have been taking the London streetfood scene by storm!
