Who’s the author? The Beefy Boys are made up of Anthony Murphy, Daniel Mayo-Evans, Christian Williams and Lee Symonds – the team behind the award-winning burger restaurants that started life as a food truck and pop-up venture in Hereford. Since then, they’ve built a devoted following thanks to their indulgent burgers, crowd-pleasing comfort food and energetic approach to cooking over fire.

Known for their appearances on shows including Saturday Kitchen, Sunday Brunch and The One Show, the Beefy Boys have become favourites on the UK food festival circuit. They are also winners of multiple National Burger Awards, including Signature Burger and Burger Chef of the Year.

What’s it about? In The Beefy Boys’ Great British BBQ, the team set out to reclaim the reputation of the British barbecue. Forget burnt sausages and disappointing burgers – this book is all about flavour-packed live-fire cooking that works whether the sun is shining or the rain clouds are gathering.

Inside, you’ll find recipes for smoky roasts, low-and-slow ribs, juicy steaks, chops, chicken dishes and, naturally, next-level burgers. The recipes take inspiration from Britain’s long tradition of cooking over fire, while also embracing the global flavours that shape modern British food culture.

Alongside the barbecue recipes themselves, this book celebrates the fun and sociable spirit of outdoor cooking. With full-colour photography throughout and plenty of practical inspiration, it’s designed to help home cooks build confidence at the grill and create relaxed feasts for friends and family.

Perfect for: Home cooks who want to level up their barbecue game with bold flavours, crowd-pleasing recipes and relaxed outdoor cooking inspiration.
