A SUPER FAN of the Beefy Boys can now cease his tireless campaign, after his favourite dish has been added back to the menu.
A dedicated customer, Tom, refused to take no for an answer when his beloved wing dishes were scrapped from the menu earlier this year, due to rising costs.
The die-hard fan spent months commenting on the restaurant's posts, requesting the return of the legendary dish.
After months of campaigning, the cult burger restaurant has granted Tom’s wish and crowned him ‘Lord of the Wings’ due to his unwavering commitment, even inviting him to be the first to indulge in the returning menu item after working hard behind the scenes to bring back the delicious side dish, with the help of a new British supplier.

However, it wasn't just his craving for the wings that fuelled Tom's determination. His campaign also stemmed from a heartwarming family tradition.
For the last eight years, he and his young daughter, now aged 16, have visited The Beefy Boys’ Hereford Meat Boutique every Christmas to share a platter of wings, making many memories along the way.
. He decided to launch a vigorous campaign of messages and comments to make his voice heard, pleading with the restaurant to bring the wings back in time for Christmas 2024.
To celebrate their return, The Beefy Boys invited Tom into his local restaurant to enjoy a wing feast and to sample their famous flavours, which are now officially back on the menu. This includes Ninja, BBQ & Ranch, Buffalo & Blue, Nashville (spicy) and Plain with a side of Honey Mustard Dip.
The Beefy Boys’ co-founder Anthony ‘Murf’ Murphy said that Tom's passion for the dish and the story of the Christmas tradition had moved the whole team.
"We couldn’t believe the amount of people who joined his campaign to bring our chicken wings back, so it only felt right to find a way of putting them back on the menu, to crown him Lord of the Wings, and let him be the first to dig in.”
