[5] After volunteering in Sri Lanka following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, Boyle returned to the UK to set up a food events company that also helped homeless people.
[6][7] In 2010, Boyle formed a partnership between his social enterprise – the Beyond Food Foundation, with PricewaterhouseCoopers, De Vere (hotel operator) and the Homes and Communities Agency, who invested £800,000 in a new restaurant and training concept.
In 2020, Boyle responded to the Covid-19 pandemic with a number of initiatives to help vulnerable people and hospitality workers facing unemployment and homelessness due to the crisis.
[11][12] He also developed the Made Again programme for Beyond Food, which consisted of virtual coaching workshops to help vulnerable hospitality workers adapt their skills to find employment.
"[20] Boyle's series of supper clubs at Brigade have involved guest chefs including Michel Roux Jr (Le Gavroche), Shay Cooper (The Goring) and Chris King (The Langdown).
[21] In March 2018, Boyle was invited to the House of Commons All Party Parliamentary Group for London to advise the government on how they could better support social enterprises.
