About King of Pigs

King of the Pigs is an open flame BBQ restaurant located in the Cherryhill neighbourhood on Oxford St W, serving the London community. The establishment offers a friendly atmosphere featuring authentic Portuguese dishes and a menu centered around churrasqueira, which is the style of cooking over an open flame. The restaurant is well known for its charcoal-infused chicken and signature sauces, including a popular Piri Piri sauce. Specific menu items include Portuguese Chouriço, Chicken Noodle Soup, Cheese Toast, Pork Side Ribs, Baby Back Ribs, and various steak and chicken combo dinners. They also offer a variety of sandwiches served on Portuguese buns, such as the Bifana, a pulled pork sandwich, and a fish sandwich. The business has a long history in the region, beginning with the opening of Rei dos Leitões in 1992. The name translates to King of the Piglets, referencing a traditional roasting style from Bairrada, Portugal. The Vieira family purchased the restaurant in 2001 and introduced it to the wider public, at which point the community began calling it King of the Pigs. The restaurant opened its second location in Cherryhill Mall in 2009. In addition to dine-in service, the business provides catering for events ranging from individual meals to large corporate functions, and offers online ordering for their Cherryhill and other nearby locations.
