The name “Phat Boys” evolved through a play on words, both Phat being used as an adjective meaning excellent and because our husbands have “beer boeps”, a little plush sized around the mid-region, so we weren’t shy to poke a little fun with that. Phat Boys was created through an idea that was driven from the love of the industry. Our concept was to be “hands- on” owners that provided a property in which the locals of our community could get together and enjoy a fantastic meal, ice cold beverages and have an unforgettable experience with our friendly staff. We soon became the place “where everyone knows your name”, because if you walk in with no friends you would’ve made a whole bunch of them by the time you leave.
Phat Boys Beer House opened its doors to the public on 01 December 2015 and was created through an idea that was driven from four friends who all shared a mutual passion and love of the hospitality industry and were excited to begin a joint venture together.
The Naude and Elvey Families already owned a restaurant of their own separately but this was something we wanted to explore together. It was a concept that was discussed for a number of years and an opportunity arose with a property becoming available in White River that had the perfect location.
The premises began its life as a Pastorie in the 20th century.
