BOXPARK Croydon brings together a broad selection of street-food traders, so the food offer is designed around variety. Its kitchens cover a wide range of cuisines and formats, including burgers, pizza, tacos, gyros, dumplings, fried chicken, toasties and pan-Asian cooking, alongside dishes influenced by Afghan, Malaysian, Singaporean, Caribbean and African food.
The international selection means there’s plenty of scope for different tastes in the same sitting. Traders include Afghan Caravan, Himalayan Dumpling, Greekos Gyros, Jollof Junction, Dub Pan, Bao Bao Taiwanese and Peninsula, whose food draws on Malaysian and Singaporean hawker traditions with Malay, Chinese, Indian, Nyonya and Sri Lankan influences. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are available from individual traders, with halal options also represented.
There’s a strong selection of more familiar street-food fare, too, including burgers, pizza, tacos and fried chicken, while smaller options such as toasties and dumplings work well for a lighter meal. Sweet dishes are covered by traders specialising in churros and other desserts, while coffee and other non-alcoholic drinks are also available. The changing trader format means the exact selection can evolve, but the emphasis remains on informal, globally influenced street food.
Drinks are served from the BOXPARK bar, with the selection including beer, wine, cocktails and soft drinks. Drinks can be ordered directly to the table using the venue’s QR ordering system, allowing diners to combine food from different kitchens without having to return to a central bar. The result is a deliberately informal food-and-drink setup, with the emphasis on choice, sharing and trying different things in one visit.
