IKEA is taking all-you-can-eat to a whole new ball game this September, with a one-night-only Eatball Buffet serving up unlimited helpings of its iconic meatballs for just £5 for IKEA Family members – or £1 for kids.
On Thursday 24th September 2026*, IKEA restaurants nationwide** will turn up the fun with a full-blown meatball night out, giving hungry customers the chance to go bottomless on their favourite Swedish staple without their bank balance taking a beating.
This won’t be the average IKEA meal out, as IKEA is giving its restaurants the full VIP treatment, complete with velvet ropes, entry stamps, wristbands and a meatball-themed photo backdrop.
Keeping watch over the evening will be IKEA’s very own Meatball Bouncer, stationed at the door to dish out wristbands for the meatball-filled festivities and get the ball rolling on a night of bottomless fun.
Celebrating the evolution of IKEA’s most iconic food offering, the bottomless feast includes the classic OG Swedish meatball served with mash or chips, peas, cream sauce and lingonberry jam. Also on offer is IKEA’s chicken meatballs, plant balls, or crunchy falafel balls with all the iconic trimmings – plus soft drinks, tea or filter coffee.
And because everyone deserves a seat at the table, kids can join the feast for just £1 with an IKEA Family membership – making it an affordable, stomach-filling midweek dinner for the whole family. As the back-to-school routine and midweek exhaustion crank up, parents can consider this the ultimate night off.
Those heading to store can also make the most of IKEA’s New Lower Prices across hundreds of iconic products, including storage heroes like the KALLAX shelving unit, down 18% from £60 to £49, and the popular space-saving HEMNES daybed, reduced by 15% from £329 to just £279, alongside 1,000 exclusive in-store only prices too.
Ready to roll? Meatball fanatics can pre-book an Eatball Buffet ticket via the events page of their local participating store, or simply turn up and pay at checkout on the night. Tickets are £5 for IKEA Family members (£1 for kids), or £6.95 for adults and £2.95 for kids for those who haven’t yet snapped up the free membership.
