Award-winning hamburger chain The Beefy Boys has announced plans to open a restaurant in Bath. The news of the brand’s expansion comes just weeks after the company’s burger was named among the best globally at the World Food Championships.
The new restaurant will be based at 24 Milsom Street, taking over the historic site of the former Milsom Hotel and Loch Fyne restaurant, and will open at the beginning of 2025.
It is the fourth outlet for The Beefy Boys, which was founded by four friends after entering a burger into Bristol’s Grillstock Festival competition “for a laugh” and winning. The quartet opened their first restaurant in Hereford in 2015 and restaurants in Shrewsbury followed in 2021 and Cheltenham in 2023.
Last year, the brand won Signature Burger and Burger Chef of the year at the National Burger Awards.
Co-founder Anthony Murphy said: “Bath is a beautiful city with a real buzz to it, and that was why it was our choice for the fourth restaurant. The location on Milsom Street is amazing as it is slap bang in the heart of the city. We can’t wait to get there and introduce the people of Bath to our brand of authentic dirty American-style burgers.”
The Beefy Boys, which first gained national recognition at the World Food Championships 10 years ago, has earned multiple accolades and a legion of BBQ fans. The founders have appeared on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen and the brand recently collaborated with Fortnum & Mason.
The Beefy Boys now sells its own merchandise including mugs, bandanas and DIY boxes. It also recently released its first cookbook – ‘The Beefy Boys: From Backyard BBQ to World-Class Burgers’. The book topped the Amazon Best Seller charts at number one across all books during its release week.
