Pitching up in a new-look food theatre, Murf will share his world-class, award-winning burger recipe that The Beefy Boys are so well-known for and give visitors top tips to recreate their own mouth-watering versions at home.
As well as hosting a BBQ competition for local chefs on Saturday 14th June, Murf will also run a fun parent and child Burger School on Sunday 15th June.
In addition, a special burger will be created in celebration of the Royal Three Counties Show and will feature on the menu at all four The Beefy Boys restaurants across May and June, and will be available for visitors to tuck into at the show.
Westons Bar
Westons Cider have a pop up bar to serve their refreshing cider range.
Champagne Bar
Those more partial to sipping something with sparkles can stop by the champagne bar in the Royal Parade area, where chilled glasses of bubbles will accompany the main arena entertainment.
The Old Bull Bar
A must-visit during the show, the Old Bull Bar provides a place to socialise with prime Main Arena viewing. It will be brought to the show by Wye Valley Brewery, who will be serving our own ‘Old Bull Ale’, and Westons with a NEW look this year.
There will be live music on Friday and Saturday evening (opening later till 9pm) too!
NEW Grain to Garden and Bar
First unveiled at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival, the garden will bring together plants and human experience, with a naturalistic garden surrounding three repurposed grain silos. These agricultural structures will be transformed to create immersive spaces: a lively bar and disco vibe and a tranquil retreat in the centre of the show.
This imaginative collaboration involving Pershore-based TASK training Academy and its founder, landscaper Rupert Keys, and designer Cherry Carmen will be ‘a fun and exciting space to walk through’ and show how farming heritage can be woven with the soft beauty of nature to breathe new life into gardens.
