Boxpark Shoreditch in Hackney

Here's a review regarding your experience at Boxpark Shoreditch: --- I had an unfortunate experience at Boxpark Shoreditch due to the rude behavior of a security lady. Her attitude was unprofessional and dismissive, which significantly detracted from my visit. I expect better customer service and a welcoming environment, especially from the security staff. It's disappointing to see such behavior at a popular venue. I hope the management addresses this issue to ensure a more pleasant experience for future visitors. --- Feel free to adjust the review to better fit your specific experience and details.

Essentially stole from me. Poor customer service. Very unimpressed with the staff. I don't have a positive word to say.

Saturday early evening. Not very busy Had the Tacos. Tiny portions and very over spiced to cover the poor quality ingredients and miserly sized three tacos. Drinks were expensive. Overall very poor value.

Went to watch the Rugby and paid in advance for reserved 'gold' admission. Screen was not very large, volume totally insufficient (couldn't hear a thing) and the two of us were unable to sit together and staff wouldn't help us with this.

Designed to confuse people so you don't get sent to the entrance but instead get sent from one exit to the other in order to walk past all the small shops. And then when you finally find the entrance, they won't let you in anymore unless you agree to give them all your personal data. Nasty company data mining and lying to customer to waste their time.

If you think “bottomless” means two drinks and a mandatory glass of tap water served by a condescending member of staff then you’ll really enjoy the brunch here. That’s not what I paid £40 for though, so I don’t think I’ll be back.

We have visited Boxpark Wembley a couple of times and I felt comfortable going in on my own . We were staying in Spitalfields and decided to try boxpark shoreditch, though after reading reviews were a little concerned We were definitely the oldest 🤣 Love how it has separate areas so we choose the quieter area We love choosing different foods so it suits us Food is brilliant and so reasonable We had food from Crust bros pizza and Rainbo Delicious and freshly made Fantastic atmosphere, felt safe Will definitely go again

Went to celebrate my birthday, I was talking to a lovely guy in the queue who was helping me sign in using the qr code when the black security female guard came over and told me I wasn’t welcome because I was white !! Wtf?? I am and have never been racists! I’ve taught a community of black and Asian children for 17 years and the one night I wanted to celebrate my birthday I was turned away !! I’m now left with a conflicting emotions of what to think 🤔 I feel so sad right now 😩

I have been here a few times now and tried different cuisines each time. Pizza place is great and so is the Argentina steak place. Can't wait to try a few more. Plenty of security to keep everything calm and a nice relaxed drinking vibe with benches. Not as crazy as the Croydon or Wembley box parks, as there are different areas you can sit depending on your preference. Will return

Brunch was amazing, especially Sasha. So friendly and the brunch was so entertaining as we went to the drag brunch

Chris made my time phenomenal. Top tier service and vibes. Couldn’t ask for more. Defo returning :))))))

chris was great the bar, food at salt shed was 10-10 and good for value! Music was great, defo will come back!

Great service & great vibes. Couldn't recommend more. To top it off, Chris was THE BEST. I helped them close the door

Love the concept of this with different units inside shipping containers which change regularly. The funky shops of the ground floor had some great items. The food and bar areas upstairs where varied and different. The jerk chicken out of Rudies was so tasty and the wrap out of Rastawala was the nicest I have had. A pity the drinks are only in plastic cups even on a quiet Thursday afternoon.

I’ve never heard of these until my cousin mentioned about it, so we thought we’d give it a whirl. It’s shipping containers which have been transformed into a buzzing hub of establishments that provide food, drinks, and clothing. As we went on the weekend it was unbelievably busy, which was to be expected as it’s very popular and the weather was nice. Beware, you need to purchase a free ticket online before you enter as this will save you queuing whilst signing up. The Box Park is a young, trendy place to spend an afternoon or evening. The decor has an urban yet modern vibe to it, with exposed wood, black paint and foliage and it’s tastefully done. The tables are long with benches so the chance of your sitting next to a stranger is highly likely, that’s if you can get a seat. We decided to find a space to sit first before ordering our drinks. Would definitely say it’s aimed at a younger demographic, as I didn’t see a single person over 40 years of age. The food options here are huge, ranging from British, Asian, Indian, and Caribbean. As the majority of the Box Park is covered, there’s two open seated sections at either end where you’re allowed to smoke and vape. There are toilets available on the site which were clean and spacious. The Box Park is also right outside of Shoreditch Hire Street station, so it’s perfect if you’re catching the underground. Overall, I would definitely suggest if you wanted to have a catch up your friends but would recommend going during the week, if you want it quieter.

The best BOXPARK and the original - the food options here just keep getting better. Other companies have been born out of BOXPARK but it still remains the best. The drinks are fairly expensive but there are lots of options. Atmosphere gets better as the day/night continues.

I came here on Saturday the 5th of August with my girlfriend. I never write reviews but I’m so pissed off with the management. I come back from the toilet to a group of 8 drunk men surrounding my girlfriend making her feel uncomfortable and trying it on. I squared up to them as any man would in that situation and told them to move away. After getting myself between the group of men and my girlfriend the security guards came and asked me to leave. I asked to speak to management and I was told any alterations all parties are asked to leave. I feel the management could do more to support couples from groups of men.

We have visited a couple of the BOXPARK sites and I have to say enjoy our visits each and everytime. Great choice of food vendors. Particularly like the Shoreditch site with being able to sit on the terrace and enjoy the sunshine. Drinks are reasonably priced and service is quick. Will be back again soon.

I used to go often in the past. It is a pretty cool idea to have shops in containers and then over a big seating area, bars and some food places. Dj playing music and even a dance place. But it is not nice anymore. Also, after Covid they created a register form that you were obliged to do it do gain access. Well I had one, now they obliged ua to upload the new version. I do think this is an easy way to steal data from people. I did as I wanted to show to mu cousin visit the city, but not planning to go back.

My friends and I came here after dinner for drinks and live music. It was overly full with no room to stand or dance. The idea is really cool and the music was good. Security kept coming thru and telling people they couldn't stand in...

Some great food choices here, and many at that. Had a pizza which was delicious. Drink choices though limited and very expensive. Even for london, £7.50 a pint is inexcusable.

Music on a Monday night and a lot of people around, we had fun dancing and drinking outdoors. They offer multiple food options and a young happy vibe all around

Great for dinner and drinks and due to the breadth of restaurant options/drinks it caters for all needs. Normally space as it is so big and it's an easy go-to for work colleagues, friends whenever.

Make sure you download a box park black card to gain admission and in theory collect points for purchases. Food and drink options variable and a tad overpriced in my view.

This place is amazing food choices very good , we ate here 3 of the 4 days we were here , stayed round the corner so very handy for us , atmosphere was good love how everyone sits together only a bit disappointed with one...

the security were racist towards my polish mate ! we walked up and they was rude ! no one wanted to let us in and it was ridiculous ! no reason was given x

Came in for a beer and a burger to celebrate my sons 18th on the 19th December at around 2pm. Greeted with a dirty look and an extremely bad attitude at the main bar. Expected my son to be ID’d which was fine but was...

Refused to take order not through the touch screen self service system, wouldn’t accept venue voucher for food I wanted, rude appalling staff.

Visited Mercy Burger and received an incredibly mediocre burger which was way overpriced for what it was. It was seemingly cooked to order but the burgers themselves were hugely over cooked and dry. Loads of sauce helped save the day. Chips were bland too. Could...

Really enjoyed the food stalls - Have to try the Wings - Cocktails need some work but the overall atmosphere is definitely worth a repeat visit.

We came here on Wednsday at 17.30 and found it was busy already. Chaos after 18.00 tho.... We had Malaysian street food which was quite nice. It was 17£ something for 2 dishes with rice. A pint of beer was 5.50£. A glass of orange...

Visited as family of four - we all had a good lunch from four different ‘boxes’ all good. Drink selection could be wider. Concept great - would visit again.

I went with family for food and shopping. We had one of the most amazing experiences in London, amazing service. I can't wait to go back.Thanks

You are forced to hand over your name email address and telephone number to gain admittance, in my case by unfriendly bouncers. Some of the food I saw looked good but I chose some chicken wings which were really unpleasantly greasy. Also if you are...

The Host Agnieszka amazing warmth of welcome if it wasn’t for her I would of not come in, she explained to me everything great positive energy I will definitely be returning

Took the young adults & teen to box park for food & music. Total hit they can't wait to go back. Great background music throughout the containers while you decide where to eat from a great selection of ( vegan in our case) food take...

This is a concept that with the exception of Digbeth Dining Club just doesn’t work in the UK! The rip off gene kicks in and tiny plastic cups of Coca Cola begin rising in price. While not quite as depressing as Mercado Metropolitano down in...

Had the best time here, and Sandra gave the best service. Would defo recommend (if she is working) will definitely be coming back

My wife an I visited here after a few drinks at the box park, which we both enjoyed, then as we ended the evening we headed out via the "grill & wok" I ordered the argie beef burger and a mojito, she got the sing...

Called here for food at 7pm on a Thursday evening with my two sons (19 & 15), stopped by security who wouldn't let my 15 year old in because no kids were allowed after 9pm? By my estimation we had a good two hours to...

Great variety of food venues, upstairs and downstairs. It was brimming, even on a Tuesday evening which shows how popular it is. You have to get the boxpark card on your phone which was tedious...

Class place so big and great location with also great staff very friendly. Also great drinks on offer and lovely atmosphere

Nice energy and great food options - relaxed atmosphere and good location. Worth a visit if you want to unwind for a couple of hours with friends

The food at Edu, a trader at Boxpark was ok but massively overpriced at £8.50 for a very average burrito. Mostly though I was put off by the horrible service from the person at the till. I by no means expect people working in customer...

amazing service and excellent food only bad part was front security being rude to my brother because it was our first time there and we didnt quite understand the QR code system. Overall great place would visit again!

The guy who served me at EDu was rude and miserable af. Felt like throwing the food in the bin when I left as the service was so trash. But I ate it and it did taste good I can’t lie.

Me and my friend visited Boxpark Shoreditch recently and I have to say the whole place was amazing. The staff were funny as well. Fanny's kebabs is a must try although SNOG is really the place to go. Their frozen yoghurt is out of this...

We have tried to enter the venue 3 times (2 from the main entrance and then we've tried to ask at the exit). We asked to the (lazy) guys at the entrance of we can go inside (after scanning the barcode and download the pass)...

My girlfriends and I had the most amazing time all thanks to Sandra the security guard!! She helped seat us and made sure our night was fabulous, an angel in disguise! Thank you so much for your help!

Last night we stumbled across what I can only describe as like Birmingham's digbeth dining x10 in size. Atmosphere was wonderful. Rooms off corridors. Inside but outside. Street food Beer Football Music Great night. Our food of choice was Fannys kebab 😋 If you do...

Amazing night. Thank you so much S. Fantastic night for a great reason. Cannot recommend enough. Xxxxx

Nice place with so much choice of food your want it all. Great social distancing and hygiene. Would visit regularly.

An amazing time spend with a friend. Enjoy delicious drinks and some yummy food. Everything was easy and simple to collect etc.

Frequent visitor here used to be my go to place as they have a variety of fabulous street style foods from various international cuisines. However since the pandemic the way the hospital industry operated has vastly changed, I don’t think box park have adapted very...

This was the first time I have visited Boxpark and we will be going back. Friendly staff, decent music and reasonably priced food with plenty of options for everyone.

Very rude staff! Strange system to get in, and it seems that the staff doesn’t even understand how it works. Got different orders from different people. Would NEVER come back, not worth spending your money on that place

The behaviour towards me and my group of friends was disgusting. We were told by security if we left for an hour we would be let in so we left. When we came back an hour later, we were told because we were women we...

Vibes? Undefeated. Ventilators (I think that's what you call them) gave the right amount of warmth. The security guards were friendly and funny haha. Music was vibes aswell.

Really good atmosphere. Get there early ish, to avoid it being overly busy! We arrived at 11:50 and didn't have to queue. Got a seat immediately. Had such nice food and a few drinks! 2 hour table time is perfect.

Fantastic food and ambience! Lovely lay out and decor with a great system of ordering and picking up. Had something for everyone including veggies and vegans (like me). Only thing that was slightly annoying was after queuing to get in (only to be expected so...

Great Al Fresco Post Lockdown night out Hadn’t been too box park in a while, decided to pop by due to not being able to find a booking available for a Friday night, got there at about 4 and had to que for just under...

We had a good time at box park only.bad thing it was freezing in there but apart from that was good.

Every thing was fine,, food , staff !! Price was ok! Will visit again! The waiting staff was really helpful forgot to ask her name!5* for her;)

Yummy yummy in my tummy everything from a to z was grate live this place will go back to this place thx

This place is new, it is spacious & lovely. The food is a selection of real Lebanese sort of snacks, lunchtime options or even dinner. I loved the moonishe (like a Turkish pizza) so very fresh & flavoursome. All it needed was a side of...

The hostess, Elisa was incredibly helpful, warm, and friendly and made my experience nothing short of fantastic. Would go back just for her!!!

Good vibes, amazing location, location interior exterior, lovely food, good music, nice temperature inside, reallyyyy friendly welcoming staff!

Couldnt hear my thoughts too noisy couldnt even hear the waiter when he was explaining how to order..

Went to box park as ual was offering a student deal of a free drink. They said we needed a coupon emailed but when we signed up it did not send us one. The waitress signed herself up to one and didn’t receive a coupon...

Great vibe on a weekend with some really delightful food shop. Someone called Sophie that works there provides top banter 😂

This place was great for a good night out. The host Jordana was amazing too. Couldn’t recommend this place anymore. Went for a cheeky drink up on Friday evening and I was fulfilled :).

Still had an amazing time at box park (and is one of my favourite locations for a drink in london) - but on my last visit when I asked a staff member to re-explain covid table service instructions was basically shouted at for being incompetent...

I came across this concept whilst looking for a place to eat that was under cover. Quickly registered and went on up. It would be nice to have something or someone there to tell people what to actually do and how the system works if...

Nothing special about that place.. was expecting something more.. No point of standing for such a long time in the queue..

We came here for my birthday, not really sure what to expect, the atmosphere was great, no long queues like others have stated? And covid measures in place? So I duno why people are moaning 🤪 you choose where you sit and order drinks via...

Long cues of two hours dead atmosphere Unattractive public with way to much makeup Weak security checks at door lack lustre decor Terrible beer choice who drinks this rubbish anyway ?

This was my first time in Boxpark, i have meant to go for a while, working close but something else would come out. I visited with a work colleague on a tuesday, i was still early around 3.30, you have to scan their barcode for...

Really busy and 99% of the people with no mask! I like the place but in terms of coronavirus safety it was soo poor!

Great place to get meal with friends, whether your in a rush or looking for a good meal where you can sit down and eat. plenty of variety and different types of restaurants.

Went there a few weeks ago during the eat out to help out period of COVID-19. A good track and trace app with QR code scanning, although this does cause a bit of a bottleneck at the door. Once you are inside though, there are...

Had a wonderful afternoon / evening here, easy to escape London drink prices and the food is amazing. Would recommend Edu the most of them all.

Very cool place and chilled atmosphere. Food was very nice and the vendors were very nice aswell. Had a DJ which was a very nice touch.

Me and my partner were looking forward to a nice relaxing evening with drinks and food to end our weekend trip to London on bank holiday weekend. Unfortunately we went to que for entry into box club and we were immediately ran up to by...

Nothing exciting to do. Forcing people to use sanitizer. Long queing. Not very polite staff at bars. Not enough room. Waste of time.

Hand sanitisers stations and a one way system demonstrates moderate understanding of social guidelines RE Covid-19, however with the seating area there is no social distancing encorced, ended up back-to-back with two other visitors and no space between us. No table service, you have to...

I love it here, yes a bit pricey but it’s good fun. Atmosphere is laid back, staff were friendly (security not so much) and you’ll meet lots of different people. People that are moaning about social distancing - It is up to the individuals to...

We went to Boxpark for dinner and drinks on a Tuesday and expected it to be busy and thought we would probably have to queue. Instead we arrived to no queue and no security Keeping track of numbers. There was no social distancing, i had...

As somebody who moved into London from further a field, I am so glad I'm not one of the people who moves to London and starts going to the boxpark. Gentrified as f*ck and you will have to sell your house to get a bev....

Not bad but bit pricy and rude security cider and beers bit expensive but it’s chilled environment and overall can’t complain too much.

Many people inside eating next to other, all packed there togueter, no social distancing at all, after the person leaves no one clean the table, no air conditioning inside, food was nice and good price.

Good food, great drinks (definitely not. diluted unlike other places) and so much to do. Spent my birthday here as I wanted something casual and it was so fun. The 50% off scheme was definitely great especially because this is one of the few places...

The sun was out, the drinks were flowing, the staff were friendly and the food was good. The new Covid policies were clear and being followed.

Since my last visit at Boxpark Shoreditch I’ve been receiving offers and advertising email from them. The only reason I gave my details was to comply to the mandatory Covid-19 safety measures but they are using it for advertisement purposes! This is not ok and...

I had arranged to meet a friend in July so we could have a meal at Boxpark. I registered online for the track and trace system. Naively, I thought Boxpark would be running at a limited capacity so as to reduce distancing but sadly this...

This place is so amazing, I had an ultimate blast.. the drinks and food was out of this world. Vegan burgers, regular burgers and the chicken bao was grrrreat. I literally puffed out on drinks and food I’m coming back at least two more times,...

Red hot day, ice cold beer, perfect for people watching. Should do waiter service though. Left my seat to get another beer and someone sat there. Need to consider solo drinkers.

Visited this place very briefly (against my better judgement) on Sunday 12th July. Big lines at the door and had to go through a sign-up (QR code) entry which appeared to be more of a data grab more than anything else. The place inside/upstairs was...

This place used to be the place to be. When the OGs were working behind the bar. Now they've sold out and pushed out the good restaurants. They only accept card for drinks. Only Boxpark bars are there now. Most the bartenders always have an...

This place is a great idea and I really liked it there today, had a good pint, the food looked really good, good amount of seating with smoking areas on site too. Lots of places to go and things to do there, excellent!

We visited in and evening and loved it. It is a good place to spend some time if you are looking for a good atmosphere, it is very loud, busy and buzzing. The choice of food/drinks is super, different and it’s even better that you...
