Summary
“There’s only one place to go if you want to experience your best burger ever and THIS IS IT!”, although “it’s hard to choose which option to go for” – a first-world problem at this cult local brand, founded in 2015. “A very good mini-chain, similar in vibe to the great burger restaurants in America” and expanded in recent times to other towns in the borders – “they do what it says on the tin and they do it very well!” – using “fresh local beef, and making the most of it”. The brand crossed into the cultural mainstream this year, not only scoring late-2024 raves from both the FT and the Daily Mail but, better still, JK Rowling name-checked them in her latest Cormoran Strike thriller, ‘The Hallmarked Man’, with her hero dropping in to their flagship branch for a dirty burger. Top Menu Tip – “The ‘Hell Boy’ is genuinely quite spicy: be prepared!”
Summary
“This burger bar absolutely smacks. It hits you round the face with flavour, atmosphere, choice and general good vibes!” – so say fans of this Hereford indie, the original of what’s now a small local group. “We travel to this place and their pop-ups just to get our mouths round their juicy burgers and fun toppings. You will never regret a beefy boys visit!”
Summary
“I defy anyone to find a more yummy, juicy burger” than those produced at this high-achieving Hereford independent, launched by a quartet of local burger fanatics in 2015, and now with venues in Shrewsbury and Cheltenham. Early success in competitions, including second place at the 2015 world championship in Las Vegas, was no flash in the grill: their ‘The Old Boy’ won burger of the year at the 2023 UK National Burger Awards, while Beefy Boy Anthony Murphy was declared chef of the year.
Summary
The “fabulous, high-quality burgers” at this local independent in the Old Market are “a real highlight of Hereford”. It was opened by a quartet of competitive burger fanatics on the back of winning the UK’s biggest competition, Grillstock, in 2014 and coming second in the world championship in Las Vegas the next year. Their mobile truck can be seen at various events around the country, and they now have a second site in Shrewsbury.
