BEEFY’S at The Hilton AT THE AGEAS BOWL, SOUTHAMPTON
Cricket Legend Sir Ian Botham launches new steakhouse concept BEEFY’S at Hilton at The Ageas Bowl, Southampton
It was once said, as the English Sporting Legend Sir Ian Botham came out to bat during the famous Ashes series of 1981, “he wasn’t just representing England, he was England.” It is with this sense of English pride and passion that Sir Ian has launched a new steakhouse and seafood concept. Launched on the 13th June, the event was host to a number of famous sporting personalities.
Sir Ian Botham, universally referred to by his nickname "Beefy", is an advocate of great food (especially good old-fashioned home-style cooking) and over the years he has developed a love for fine wines from all over the world. Beefy has joined forces with his great friend, Rod Bransgrove, in this venture and the brand concept, operation and menu have been developed in partnership with David Mann, Chief Executive of Hampshire Cricket ground, and Paul Clark and Steve Grant, both of whom have many years’ experience in food-led hospitality.
Commenting on Beefy’s, Sir Ian Botham said; “Great food and wine are a real passion of mine, and I am absolutely thrilled with the opportunity to be able to share this passion and present some of my favourite food and wines through the BEEFY’s experience. BEEFY’S will represent everything that is great about English cuisine, together with selected wines from around the world served in some of the most inspirational premises. I’m really looking forward to working with Rod and the team on this new venture.”
With a panoramic view of the remarkable Ageas Bowl cricket ground in Southampton, BEEFY’S restaurant caters for up to 130 diners, with a further 66 seats overlooking the grounds from the outside terrace. The restaurant offers a classic yet distinctive menu, using only the best produce and cuts of meat, from seared hand-dived scallops and fresh lobster dishes to the signature steak dish, the “Tomahawk”.
In additional to a superb wine selection, the bar list will feature an array of cocktails and the finest selection of gins in the South of England. It is also intended that these restaurants will also support the Beefy Charitable Foundation, which helps to fund specific projects relating to chronic illnesses and other challenges that young people face.
The restaurant is located within the new Hilton at The Ageas Bowl. Based at the home of Hampshire cricket, the hotel promises a real resort experience for guests. Located pitch-side, the 171 rooms offer spectacular views either across the famous cricket ground or the planned 18-hole golf course. Guests can experience the relaxed atmosphere of the sports bar, enjoying a drink while they watch Sky Sports, or take in the panoramic views from the terrace.
