The chain was founded by four childhood friends and born from a backyard barbecue in 2011.
Accolades include a top four finish at the 2024 World Food Championships in Indianapolis and winning Best Burger and Best Burger Chef at the National Burger Awards in 2023.

Known for their smashed patties and high quality grass-fed Herefordshire beef, The Beefy Boys are promising diners favourites such as the classic Beefy Boy Burger, the award-winning Oklahoma Onion Boy and Dirty Boy, and the bold Peanut Butter and Jelly Boy.
In addition to the burgers, diners can try Pastrami Fries, Millionaire Fries – topped with truffle oil, parmesan, and chipotle mayo, and Mac & Cheese Balls.

Speaking about the new launch, co-founder Anthony 'Murf' Murphy said: "Oxford has always been high up on our list of dream restaurant locations.
"It's a city full of culture, energy, and food lovers, so we can't wait to fire up the grill and introduce our signature smashed patties and dirty burgers to this amazing city.'
