Best for a proper meal before the match

Smoky Boys: burgers and barbecue
Smoky Boys is the pick if you're really hungry. The menu runs from a classic cheeseburger and a smoky bacon burger to pulled beef brisket, beef ribs, wings, loaded fries and thick shakes, with halal options.
The Wild Buffalo and Ipanema Barbecue
More smoke and meat at The Wild Buffalo, while Ipanema Barbecue brings Brazilian-style barbecue.
Best street food from around the world

- Molo Fish & Chips: a British classic.
- Funky Chips: loaded fries.
- Nanny Bill's: hand-pressed burgers and croquettes.

Match-day and gig-night tips
- Arrive early. BOXPARK Wembley gets very busy on stadium and arena days. Two to three hours before kick-off or doors is the sweet spot.
- Split up and order. With so many kitchens, the quickest way for a group is to grab a table, then each go to a different counter.
- Or come after. Once the crowds head home, it's a good place to wait out the busiest trains.
- Check for closures. BOXPARK sometimes closes for private events, so check its closures page on the day.
- No tickets? The big screens show live sport, so it's a good place to watch the game anyway.
