After months of anticipation, cult burger brand The Beefy Boys have officially opened their brand-new Oxford restaurant at Westgate Oxford, following a buzzing soft launch period and an exciting VIP launch party on Friday 3rd October.

The exclusive event welcomed over 100 guests, including local press, influencers, and members of the Oxford community who enjoyed a first taste of The Beefy Boys' award-winning American-style dirty burgers, indulgent sides, beers, cocktails, and signature hard shakes. The evening also featured music from DJ Cheeba and an exclusive Smashed Patty Masterclass with co-founders Anthony 'Murf' Murphy and Dan Mayo-Evans. The goody bags were the ultimate stars of the night, with everything from exclusive Beefy Boys merchandise, including a one-off Yeti mug and Tubby Toms BBQ rub.

Located on the rooftop level of Westgate Oxford between Six by Nico and Sticks 'n' Sushi, the 100-cover restaurant blends The Beefy Boys' signature playful style with a bold refresh, including cheeky neon signage, artwork, a lively open kitchen, and a striking central bar, serving cocktails, mocktails, ciders, spirits, and craft beers.

The celebration featured delicious roaming trays of The Beefy Boys' classics including The OG Beefy Boy Burger and the award-winning Oklahoma Onion Boy, delicious sides such as Mac & Cheese Balls and Ninja Chicken Tenders, along with an alcoholic Tiramisu hard shake served for dessert. Drinks partners including Somer Valley Brewery, Tap Social Movement, and Bristol Gin Distillery offered samples of their beers, spirits, and cocktails.

Founded by four childhood friends in 2011, The Beefy Boys rose from backyard BBQs to global burger phenomenon, securing top spots at the World Food Championships while building devoted followings at their five UK restaurants in Hereford, Shrewsbury, Cheltenham, Bath, and now Oxford. 

Speaking about the official opening, co-founder Murf said:

“The response from our visitors in Oxford has been incredible so far! From the first day of our soft launch to the launch party itself, we've felt so welcomed by the local community. The support from Westgate Oxford has been amazing, and we're beyond excited to finally open our doors and welcome the people of Oxfordshire in for burgers, beers, and good times.”

Brendan Hattam, Centre Director at Westgate Oxford, commented:
“We're delighted to have officially welcomed The Beefy Boys to Westgate Oxford following a fantastic launch event. The atmosphere was electric, the turnout was incredible, and the burgers certainly lived up to their award-winning reputation. The new restaurant looks brilliant, and it's already proving to be a hit with our guests. We're proud to add such a dynamic brand to our offering, and we look forward to seeing it thrive here in the heart of Oxford.”
