Following a second consecutive Top 10 finish at The World Food Championships in America, The Beefy Boys will soon open their long awaited restaurant in Hereford’s Old Market Development.

On Monday, December 28th, the restaurant specialising in Burgers, Street Food and Cocktails will start its soft launch - with priority seating and booking going to those lucky enough to have purchased a Beefy Boy Golden ticket. Those that didn’t manage to pick up one of the sold out tickets will be seated on a first come first served basis.

The Beefy Boys - Murf (Anthony Murphy), Christian Williams, Daniel Mayo-Evans and Lee Symonds - have achieved legendary status for their grilling skills; their huge jump in the rankings at the 2015 World Food Championships was the biggest in the Competition’s history and they have finished in the Top 10 for two years in a row. They also recently won The UK Burger Battle in Birmingham, and boast an international fanbase.

At the Ross-on-Wye Christmas Fayre, their burgers sold like hot cakes; the queue of hungry visitors tailed around the Market House all day, with hundreds of people eager to try a famous Beefy Boy burger for themselves.

As proud Herefordians, they are keen to support local - sourcing their ingredients, branding and designs locally, from fantastic producers such as Neil Powell Butchers, Peter Cooks Bread and Wye Valley Brewery. They’ve even become the official roller derby helmet sponsors to Hereford Roller Girls.

“Its great to be the first independent restaurant on the Old Market development,” said Murf. “We’ve sourced locally as much as possible from the food down to the restaurant itself; all of the design and artwork comes from Hereford College of Arts graduates, and the metal work, tables, chairs, bar and seats have come from local companies too. We’ve got a connection to the city that you just don’t get with a chain. Theres a real food revolution that is happening in Herefordshire right now, its awesome to be part of it and we can’t wait for people to see the new restaurant.”
