Get Ready, Oxford! The Beefy Boys Bring Their World-Famous Burgers to Westgate Oxford
Oxfordshire’s burger scene is about to get a serious upgrade! The Beefy Boys, known for serving some of the world’s best burgers, have excitedly announced the opening of their fifth restaurant at Westgate Oxford this September.
Following smash-hit openings in Hereford, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, and Bath, The Beefy Boys will bring their award-winning burgers and American-style barbecue food to a brand-new crowd, taking over a prime location at Westgate Oxford.
Founded by four childhood friends and born from a backyard BBQ that got ‘out of hand’ in 2011, The Beefy Boys have quickly become legends on the UK food scene. Their accolades include a top 4 finish at the 2024 World Food Championships in Indianapolis and winning Best Burger and Best Burger Chef at the National Burger Awards in 2023. They also released their debut cookbook in 2024, From Backyard BBQs to World-Class Burgers, which topped the Amazon Bestsellers list and hit #3 on the Sunday Times charts.
Famed for their smashed patties, indulgent flavours, and the highest quality grass-fed Herefordshire beef, The Beefy Boys will offer Oxfordshire burger lovers an unforgettable dining experience.
Their menu is stacked with fan favourites such as the classic Beefy Boy Burger, the award-winning Oklahoma Onion Boy and Dirty Boy, and the bold Peanut Butter and Jelly Boy. In addition to their iconic burgers, The Beefy Boys are known for their crowd-pleasing sides and barbecue classics. Diners can savour Pastrami Fries, Millionaire Fries – topped with truffle oil, parmesan, and chipotle mayo, and gooey Mac & Cheese Balls.
For those with an appetite for something different, the menu also features options like Garlic Parmesan Chicken Tenders, Buffalo & Blue Cheese Chicken Wings, and even vegetarian and vegan-friendly creations such as the Beanie Boy and Leafy Boy burgers.
Speaking about the new launch, co-founder Murf said, “Oxford has always been high up on our list of dream restaurant locations. It’s a city full of culture, energy, and food lovers, so we can’t wait to fire up the grill and introduce our signature smashed patties and dirty burgers to this amazing city.”
Brendan Hattam, Centre Director at Westgate Oxford, added: “We’re delighted to announce that The Beefy Boys will be joining our Roof Terrace restaurant line up this September.
“Their reputation for crafting some of the world’s best burgers precedes them, so we’re sure that their unique menu and award-winning flavours will be a huge hit with our guests as well as the wider Oxford community.”
Recruitment for the new restaurant is now live, and The Beefy Boys are on the lookout for energetic, food-loving team members to join the Oxford crew. Job listings can be viewed at https://jobs.thebeefyboys.com/oxford.
