AN actor and comedian has surprised the Beefy Boys by turning up to one of their restaurants just weeks after meeting them at a festival.

The Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz star stopped by The Beefy Boys in Oxford, after previously surprising the team when stopping by at their van at the Big Feastival in Oxfordshire last month.

The actor, whose other credits include The World's End and Star Trek, was pictured sitting down with the company's newest book, The Beefy Boys' Great British BBQ.



Referencing one of his iconic lines in Shaun of the Dead from the early 2000s, a spokesperson for The Beefy Boys said: Take the car, go to Mum's, kill Phil, grab Liz, go to The Beefy Boys have a nice burger and cold pint, and wait for all this to blow over...what an absolute legend, two visits in two weeks, the pleasure is all ours!"

The Beefy Boys, which was founded in Hereford and has now expanded to seven restaurants, with an eighth to open in Cambridge later this year, has welcomed several celebrities before, including Saltburn star Barry Keoghan in 2024.
