Hereford Restaurant Ranked 15th Best BBQ Joint in the World Outside the USA

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 told That's Food and Drink: “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 Hereford, after 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.

Don't miss your chance to experience one of the top BBQ restaurants in the world.

Introducing the New 'Sandridge Barton' Collection - First Wine to Be Released Wins Master Medal at the Global Sparkling Masters 2023

Top English wine producer, Sandridge Barton, is pleased and delighted to unveil its highly anticipated premium range, under the 'Sandridge Barton' label. Known for its commitment to producing exceptional English wines, Sandridge Barton, the home of Sharpham Wine, has introduced the first wines under the label of its new location near Stoke Gabriel, which is in South Devon. 

The first wine in the collection to be released, Sandridge Barton 'Blanc de Noir', was recently recognised as one of the best Sparkling wines in the whole world at the Global Sparkling Masters 2023 after being awarded a Master Medal. 

An award which is only given to wines which are an outstanding example of its type, showing impeccable winemaking. It must demonstrate a wonderful texture, a perfect balance and a broad range of delicious, persistent flavours to the panel of expert judges, including Masters of Wine and Master Sommeliers.

Duncan Schwab, CEO and Head Winemaker at Sandridge Barton, said: “This bottling run is part of our Sandridge Barton range, for wines we firmly believe are truly unique. 

"Sandridge Barton 'Blanc de Noir' is the first to be released and is made with Pinot Noir fruit harvested in 2020 from our vineyards overlooking the river Dart in South Devon. It's a cracking wine and we are extremely proud to receive a Master Medal and are delighted to introduce it to our range of English wines, which has now grown to over 15 wines.”

At this competition, judges sought out the very best Sparkling wines that were on the market, judging them blind with no knowledge as to their origin. The contest was open to any sparkling or semi-sparkling wine made anywhere in the whole world. 

The judges tasted 230 entries from 14 different countries, with seven master medalists in total, including three from Champagne, two from Asti, one from California and one from Sandridge Barton in Devon.

Sandridge Barton 'Blanc de Noir' is priced at £45. Of a golden colour, inviting rich nose with good autolysis, clean fresh fruit with a lime, gooseberry and raspberry palate and ripe balanced finish. 

This is not the only success for Sandridge Barton this month, the WineGB Awards results were announced last week and the Devon-based winery was awarded seven medals, including a Gold medal for the Sandridge Barton Pinot Noir 2020, four silvers and two bronze medals, too.

Over the course of the summer, Sandridge Barton will add three more wines to its 'Sandridge Barton' label range. A Bacchus, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, all of which are still wines will join the 'Blanc de Noir'. Bottles will vary in price and will be available to buy from Sandridge Barton, from their cellar door and through their website. 

With over 40 years of producing award-winning English wines, previously under the Sharpham Wine brand, Sandridge Barton has continued to be at the forefront of crafting exceptional wines that embody the unique marriage of climate, soil and grape varieties in this region of England.

The Global Sparkling Masters took place in London on 10 May. It is one of the 27 Global Wine Masters competitions taking place in 2023, run by industry-leading publication the drinks business.
