London restaurant favourite Dirty Bones has announced it will open a new location at BOXPARK Croydon later this month, bringing its signature New York-inspired comfort food to one of South London’s most popular food, drink and entertainment destinations. The opening marks a significant milestone for the brand as it enters a new phase of growth while introducing its acclaimed menu to a wider audience across Croydon and the surrounding areas.
Founded in 2014, Dirty Bones built its reputation on combining high-quality comfort food with influences from New York City’s vibrant food scene, alongside a cultural identity inspired by old-school hip hop and R&B. Over the past decade, the brand has become one of London’s most recognisable casual dining names.

A Natural Fit for BOXPARK Croydon
The arrival of Dirty Bones comes during an important year for BOXPARK Croydon, a venue renowned for bringing together food, music, events and community experiences in the heart of the borough. Located next to East Croydon station, BOXPARK has become one of South London’s leading social destinations, hosting everything from street food traders and live entertainment to major sporting events and cultural celebrations.
Visitors can learn more about the venue through the official BOXPARK Croydon website.
What Will Be on the Menu?
Guests visiting the new Dirty Bones location can expect many of the dishes that helped establish the brand’s loyal following across London.
Menu highlights include:
- Loaded fries
- Corn ribs
- Signature chicken wings
- Chicken Over Rice
- Chicken Over Caesar
- The iconic Chopped Cheese Hero
- Freshly cooked rotisserie chicken
Several of the dishes draw inspiration from New York bodegas and classic American comfort food, helping to maintain the authentic identity that has defined Dirty Bones since its launch.
Building on Recent Success
The Croydon opening follows a strong period for the restaurant brand. Dirty Bones has recently generated significant consumer engagement through initiatives including its viral Bottomless Wings and Brunch concept, while also expanding its gluten-free offering to appeal to a broader audience.
The move into BOXPARK Croydon is expected to be the first of several developments planned for the business throughout 2026, as the company looks to build on growing demand while remaining faithful to the atmosphere and food that originally made it successful.
Dirty Bones Co-Founder Welcomes New Chapter
Speaking about the launch, Dirty Bones co-founder Cokey Sulkin said:
“Dirty Bones has always occupied its own space within London’s restaurant scene. We’ve spent the past year focusing on what we do best, refining the proposition, strengthening the guest experience and ensuring the brand continues to evolve whilst staying true to its roots. BOXPARK Croydon feels like a natural fit. It’s a destination that celebrates food, music, culture and community in the same way we do, and we’re excited to introduce Dirty Bones to a new audience as we begin this next chapter for the brand.”
Dirty Bones Expands Its South London Presence
The opening represents another boost for Croydon’s growing food scene and further strengthens BOXPARK’s reputation as a destination for innovative dining concepts. With New York-inspired comfort food, a distinctive cultural identity and a menu packed with fan favourites, Dirty Bones is set to become one of the venue’s most anticipated new arrivals this summer.
Dirty Bones is scheduled to open at BOXPARK Croydon later in June 2026.
