Hour-long queue outside pub for Hereford Beefy Boys burgers

Despite the weather, lots of people braved the rain to get their hands on the award-winning food. 

The Beefy Boys were serving their popular burgers between 4-8pm at the Bull Inn, Fernhill Heath, near Worcester, on Sunday (August 21).

Born out of a back garden barbecue in 2011, the Beefy Boys started out as a pop-up restaurant and went on to claim top spot in the final round of the World Burger Championships in Las Vegas with their 'Butty Back' creation in 2014, alongside other awards.
