Burger business born out of back garden barbecue nominated for award
A Herefordshire-born business that's gone from strength to strength with a raft of restaurants across the country has been nominated for a Hereford Times Community Award.
The Beefy Boys has been nominated for the Business of the Year award for 2025.
In the nomination, it was said that the company is dedicated to promoting the county, and its produce, getting involved as many local events as possible.
The Beefy Boys was born out of a back garden barbecue in 2011, going on to open a pop-up restaurant and claiming top spot in the final round of the World Burger Championships in Las Vegas with their 'Butty Back' creation in 2014.

In 2015, the team opened their first permanent restaurant in Hereford's Old Market, then went on to expand into Shrewsbury, Bath, Cheltenham, and most recently, Oxford, in later years.
In 2020, its Hereford restaurant doubled in size when the business took over the former Frankie and Benny's restaurant to allow for better social distancing measures during the pandemic.
However, five years on, the larger restaurant remains, providing further seating and an extra upstairs area for diners.
