The Beefy Boys are celebrating a major global achievement this week after being named the 15th ‘Best BBQ Joint in the World (Outside the USA)’ by The Underseasoned BBQ Show, a leading international podcast dedicated to barbecue culture.
The newly released Top 50 BBQ Spots Outside the USA list recognises the very best smokehouses across the globe, and The Beefy Boys have secured a top-15 position just six months after launching their Hereford BBQ Nights in collaboration with Pit Master Ashley Tunley of Big Smoke BBQ. The Underseasoned team praised The Beefy Boys for their authentic Texas-style barbecue and commended the team for blending British creativity with traditional American smokehouse methods, while maintaining the same high-quality that has earned them international recognition for their burgers.
The Beefy Boys' BBQ Nights menu features an indulgent selection of low and slow cooked favourites including smoked beef brisket, pork belly, hot honey burnt ends, maple-brined turkey, Hereford hotlink sausages, and beef cheeks, served with homemade sides such as mac 'n' cheese, brisket pit beans and mustard maple slaw, all for just £45 per person. The Beefy Boys co-founder Anthony 'Murf' Murphy said: “We've only been running our Hereford BBQ Nights for six months, so to be recognised on a global list like this is mind-blowing.
“We set out to bring authentic, wood-smoked, low and slow American barbecue to Herefordafter travelling across the States. To be named one of the best BBQ restaurants in the world means everything to us.”
The achievement follows the brand's previous success on the global stage, including fourth place in the ‘World Food Championships’ in 2024, and being crowned ‘Best Burger in the UK’ in 2023. The Underseasoned BBQ Show's annual list is considered one of the most respected roundups in the barbecue world, highlighting authentic and high-quality BBQ culture around the world.
The Beefy Boys' debut placement on the list cements their status as one of the most exciting newcomers to the UK barbecue scene. The Beefy Boys' BBQ Nights first began as an invite-only dining experience, selling out every time, and are now open to all at their Hereford restaurant.
Places for each session are limited, and meat is smoked fresh for each service, making The Beefy Boys' BBQ Nights one of Hereford's hottest dining tickets. Bookings for the sessions, which take place on Friday and Saturday evenings at The Beefy Boys Hereford restaurant, are now open.
