Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 12:43 · Archive

The Beefy Boys, whose burger won the UK's Best Burger award in 2023, are opening their eighth restaurant in Cambridge.

The Beefy Boys, whose Old Boy burger won the UK's Best Burger title at the 2023 National Burger Awards, are opening their eighth restaurant on Bene't Street in Cambridge. The new site will occupy the former BrewDog premises, one of 38 locations the brewery announced for closure in March 2026 following its acquisition by US firm Tilray Brands. The expansion is expected to create up to 50 jobs, with recruitment already under way.

Co-founder Anthony 'Murf' Murphy said Cambridge had 'an exciting and diverse food scene' and the chain had been watching the area for some time. 'When the former BrewDog site became available, we knew the time was right,' he said. The Beefy Boys was founded in 2011 by four childhood friends: Mr Murphy, Daniel Mayo-Evans, Christian Williams, and Lee Symonds. Their existing locations are in Hereford, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Bath, Oxford, Nottingham and Exeter, plus two food trucks travelling across the UK.

The Cambridge restaurant will serve the chain's signature menu of burgers, loaded fries, buffalo wings and hard shakes, along with vegetarian and vegan options. The Beefy Boys use 100 per cent grass-fed beef from their Herefordshire hometown and work with local suppliers.
