HEREFORD'S Beefy Boys have revealed the next step in expanding their restaurant empire, with a new restaurant to open in Nottingham this year.

The team has revealed that their sixth restaurant will open in April 2026 in Nottingham's Queen's Street.

The announcement comes just weeks after the team celebrated the 10-year anniversary of opening their very first restaurant in Hereford.

Founded in 2011 by four childhood friends, Anthony ‘Murf’ Murphy, Daniel Mayo-Evans, Christian Williams and Lee Symonds, The Beefy Boys first made headlines when they placed second at the World Food Championships in Las Vegas in 2014.

They returned in 2024, securing fourth place in Indianapolis.

Now, Nottingham will become their most northern restaurant to date, joining their growing portfolio in Hereford, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Bath and Oxford.

Speaking about the new launch, co-founder Murf said: “Nottingham has been on our radar for a while.

"It’s a brilliant city with a buzzing food scene, so we can’t wait to bring our burgers here.

"Ten years on from opening our first restaurant, launching our sixth site feels like a huge milestone, and Nottingham feels like the perfect next chapter.”

The new city centre site will serve up The Beefy Boys’ "cult favourites", including the classic Beefy Boy Burger and the award-winning Oklahoma Onion Boy Cali Style burger, alongside indulgent loaded fries, buffalo wings, delicious sides, vegetarian and vegan options, and their famous hard shakes.

The team uses 100 per cent grass-fed Herefordshire beef, and aims to champion local suppliers wherever possible.

Recruitment for the Nottingham restaurant is now live, with new jobs to be created in the city.

The team is seeking "energetic, food-loving staff" to join the Nottingham team.

Job listings can be viewed at https://jobs.thebeefyboys.com/nottingham.

Further details on the official opening and the way in which local diners can be among the first to try out the new restaurant, will be announced soon.
