BREAKING NEWS: The nationally acclaimed burger chain, The Beefy Boys, is set to take over a historic building in the heart of Nottingham. A planning application has been filed with Nottingham City Council seeking permission for renovations to a Grade II listed property located on Queen Street, which previously housed George’s Great British Kitchen until September 2024.
The move comes as The Beefy Boys aim to enhance their brand presence in Nottingham, nestled between popular venues like Manahatta bar and Bill’s Restaurant. The planning application includes a proposed small single-storey extension at the rear of the building, a new coldroom store, and updated signage, all designed to maintain the property’s architectural integrity while modernizing its facilities.
Founded by four childhood friends, The Beefy Boys has gained national recognition, winning the coveted Burger of the Year and Burger Chef of the Year awards at the 2023 National Burger Awards. Their offerings, touted as “the ultimate burger experience,” feature fan favorites like the Butter Garlic Boy, Hell Boy 2:0 with fiery ghost pepper sauce, and the innovative PBJ Boy with bacon jam and chipotle peanut butter.
The planning documents submitted by the development consultancy firm Pegasus Group emphasize that the proposed alterations aim to respect the building’s historical significance while adapting it for modern use. The Beefy Boys have expressed excitement about bringing their high-quality, 100% grass-fed Herefordshire beef burgers to Nottingham, further enriching the city’s culinary landscape.
In addition to their recent accolades, last month, The Beefy Boys was ranked the 15th Best BBQ Joint in the World (Outside the USA) by The Underseasoned BBQ Show, an internationally recognized podcast devoted to barbecue culture. With their reputation for exceptional burgers and a growing fan base, the anticipation surrounding their Nottingham location is palpable.
As this story develops, it underscores the growing trend of popular food brands revitalizing historic spaces, fostering community engagement and enhancing local economies. Residents and fans alike are eager to see how The Beefy Boys will transform this iconic location into a new dining hotspot.
Stay tuned for updates as Nottingham City Council reviews the planning application and prepares for the next chapter in its vibrant culinary scene.
