BOXPARK Wembley
Restaurant | Wembley | England | United Kingdom
"BOXPARK Wembley" in Wembley, England, is much more than just a restaurant - it is a vibrant street food and entertainment center that has enriched the area since its opening in December 2018. As the third location of the BOXPARK chain, originating in Shoreditch, this place stands out for its size and versatility. With space for up to 2,000 guests and an area of around 20,000 square meters, it is a popular meeting point, especially for fans attending events at the nearby Wembley Stadium or the OVO Arena. The concept combines an impressive selection of international street food vendors with bars and a wide range of entertainment, ranging from live events to interactive games. The atmosphere is modern and dynamic, with an industrial design made from recycled shipping containers, refreshed with colorful accents and an open layout.
Culinary-wise, BOXPARK Wembley offers a global journey for the palate, with over 20 different food traders presenting an impressive variety. A highlight is "Koolcha," a stand led by a Michelin-starred chef offering authentic Indian cuisine with a modern twist - such as the "Butter Chicken Naan," a juicy chicken dish wrapped in freshly baked naan bread with a rich, creamy sauce. Equally popular are the "Jerk Chicken Wings," marinated with Caribbean spices and crispy fried, accompanied by a spicy sauce that evokes a hint of island vibes. For vegetarians, the "Vegan Shawarma" stands out, a plant-based version with falafel and tahini that can compete with meat versions in terms of flavor. Desserts like "Churros" with melted chocolate round out the offerings and provide a delicious ending.
In addition to the food, the drinks menu is an important part of the experience. BOXPARK Wembley has three bars offering everything from craft beers to creative cocktails. The "Mango Mojito" is a favorite, with fresh mango and mint giving the classic recipe a tropical twist. During happy hour, there are also 2-for-1 deals that make the offering even more attractive. Drinks can also be taken to the "Play" areas, where guests can enjoy activities like shuffleboard, table tennis, or pool. For the more adventurous, there are options like axe throwing at "Bad Axe Throwing" or immersive virtual reality experiences at "MeetspaceVR," combining the culinary offering with a playful element.

It has established itself as the ultimate fan park, especially during major sporting events such as the European Championship, where the huge screens and electrifying atmosphere attract thousands. Additionally, there are regular live music, comedy nights, and cultural events to complement the program. The service is often described as friendly and efficient, with staff ensuring that food and drinks are served quickly, even when there is a large crowd - an important factor as many guests stop by before or after events at the stadium.
