The popular burger joint were seen filming outside of its Old Market site in Hereford last Friday (December 1). 

Revealing the advert this evening (December 4), the Beefy Boys said they decided to 'jump on the Christmas advert bandwagon' with content production company, Shooting Reels filming the footage.

The two-minute long advert starts with a mum and her two children walking by the restaurant before it cuts to a couple sat on a bench eating burger and chips. It catches the boy's eye, so is dragged away by his mum.

A heart-warming moment of the boy looking at the couple, which includes the man coughing, is then shown before it cuts to Jake of Diamonds, wearing a Santa hat and Christmas jumper, singing while playing the guitar.

Tears will then have to be at the ready as the advert again shows the boy, but this time when he looks at the bench, only the woman is sat there.

With snow falling, the boy looks down at a £20 note and goes into the Beefy Boys restaurant and is served a burger.

He goes to the woman with the bag, resulting in her smiling. The boy waves her goodbye and is seen smiling in a car as it's driven away.

As the car drives back, the boy sees the couple as they enjoy their coffee before the advert ends with a 'Merry Christmas from the Beefy Boys' message, with a take out bag placed next to a burger.

Within an hour, the advert had already been viewed 17,000 times on Facebook, with over 2,000 people liking it on the Beefy Boys' page.
