The Beefy Boys Further UK Growth in Exeter

Multi award-winning burger brand The Beefy Boys has officially opened their latest UK restaurant, in the former BrewDog site in Exeter.

The opening follows months of anticipation and a successful soft launch of the new two-storey restaurant which features alfresco dining spaces, and combines neo-classical architecture with The Beefy Boy’s trademark playful style, complete with colourful graphics and cheeky neon signs. The restaurant has also developed new local partnerships with craft brewers Powderkeg, along with non-alcoholic aperitif specialists Drinks Kitchen.

What began as four childhood friends cooking burgers together in their back garden in Hereford, has steadily grown into one of the UK’s most celebrated burger brands. Exeter marks The Beefy Boys’ seventh restaurant and their most southerly venture to date. Since competing at the World Food Championships in Las Vegas in 2014, the quartet have gone on to open restaurants in Hereford, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Bath, Oxford and Nottingham, as well as becoming Sunday Times bestselling authors along the way.

The new restaurant has taken months to come to fruition, with internal works and further investment in the site at the Guildhall Shopping Centre. The opening has created over 50 jobs and already become a firm favourite with local diners packing the restaurant daily.

Speaking about the official opening, co-founder Anthony ‘Murf’ Murphy said, “Opening in Exeter has been something we’ve been looking forward to for a long time and seeing so many people come out to celebrate with us was incredible. The new restaurant has created almost 50 new local jobs and the team in Exeter are absolutely amazing. We’ve been overwhelmed by the support we’ve received from other local businesses across the city.”

 The Beefy Boys first launched in 2011 and have since built a devoted following thanks to their award-winning burgers and barbecue-inspired menu. Their achievements include success at the World Food Championships, multiple National Burger Awards and two cookbooks, including their latest release, The Beefy Boys’ Great British BBQ.

The Beefy Boys’ new Exeter restaurant on Queen Street is now open.
