Restaurants made from Shipping Containers

Restaurants and coffee shops made from shipping containers are becoming increasingly popular across the UK. They’re modern and stylish, whilst also being eco-friendly and easy to maintain. Furthermore, these storage units tend to be much cheaper and easier to construct compared to traditional buildings. 

Here at Store That, we love a bite to eat and it’s even better if we’re wined and dined somewhere completely unique! That’s why our experts would like to share with you our favourite self-storage unit restaurants in the UK this week. 

BOXPARK – Wembley, Croydon, Shoreditch 

With three locations across London, BOXPARK brings communities together by providing street food, drinks, arts and entertainment all under one roof. Did you know it’s the world’s first pop-up venue constructed from repurposed shipping containers?! With almost every cuisine available within the units, the innovative structure of BOXPARK allows you to enjoy bespoke cultural events and a diverse range of street food traders! 

Arabica Restaurant – Borough Market 

Arabica Restaurant in Borough Market serves authentic middle eastern inspired dishes from their 40ft shipping container kitchen extension! Admire the chefs at work at their bar or prepare yourself for a feast at this unique restaurant for all to enjoy. 

BOX-E – Bristol 

Snazzy and multi-award winning, BOX-E is not somewhere to be missed. Made up of two sea container storage units, it only fits 14 people inside! It boasts a locally sourced menu, rustic decoration and their very own Michelin Star awarded chef! 

By The River Brew Co. – Gateshead 

By The River Brew Co. is Situated in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. This independent and creative container settlement is at the heart of the nightlife scene under the famous Tyne Bridge. Enjoy a refreshing, locally brewed beer and a bite to eat at Trakol Restaurant which showcases “seasonal and ethical cooking with a fresh focus on preservation, dry-aging and cooking over fire”.
