The authentic tastes of the Deep South. We are a small but perfectly formed group of authentic barbecue style restaurants.
About this business
Opening times, reviews & more
Born from a road trip across America’s Southern States, we learnt all things smokin’ from the best pitmasters across the region. From a menu bursting with smokehouse classics and barbecue favourites, to our team of passionate pitmasters, brilliant bartenders and sensational servers - we’re all about rolling out that warm Southern hospitality!
Let's Brunch
Start the day the Hickory’s way! Whether you’re craving for fluffy Homemade Pancakes, our classic Chicken Fried Waffle or dare to conquer the Ultimate XXL Muffin or Pitmaster Stack – we’ve got you covered! Why not wash it all down with a bottomless ‘Cup Of Joe’ or check out our Bloody Mary or new Iced Coffee’s.
Available every day ‘til 2pm
A Taste Of The South
For the ultimate authentic feast, tuck into our Smokehouse selection, cooked low ‘n’ slow to perfection. From the 16 hour smoked Texas Style Brisket to the Memphis Style Baby Back Ribs & The Carnivore Skewer - or why not take on The Smokehouse Platter – the ultimate choice for any BBQ lover! Or for the ‘non-smokers’ check out one of our mouthwatering Mac ‘n’ Cheese dishes, Watermelon and Spiced Rice Salad or Cedar Plank Roasted Salmon. Or if a burger is more your vibe then the Go Big Or Go Home is the one for you!
Our appetisers and desserts aren’t one to skip out on, so make sure you leave room! From Popcorn Brisket Bites & Corn Dogs to a Cookie Creation & Campfire S’mores, the perfect feast awaits.

From the Bar
Whether you're planning on stopping by for after-work beers, pre-dinner cocktails or just fancy a refreshing sip in the sun, consider our bar your laid-back local hangout. From Homemade Freakshakes, Sodas & Lemonades to our Frozen and Signature Cocktails & Southern Spritz range. Plus, an extensive spirits collection (including over 25 Bourbons!) – whatever you’re sippin’, we’ve got you covered.
And if you’re looking to welcome in the weekend listening to the sounds of the south with a cocktail in hand then out
Thank Hicks it's Friday!
What better way to celebrate the end of the week & say "Thank Hicks it's Friday" than listening to the sounds of the Deep South with a drink (or two) in hand!
We’ve shaken things up and brought you brand-new shakin' deals that’ll have you smiling all night long. Think £6 cocktails mixed to perfection, a pint of Driftaway IPA for just £4, a glass of wine for only £5, and the ultimate Southern classic non-alcoholic, Georgia Sweet Tea for a sweet £3.
For the young ‘uns....
The kid’s menu has been specially created with a team of Mums, Dads and kids so it contains just the right balance of treats, healthy options and fun. The menu is packed with dishes and drinks for smaller appetites, from the classic mac ‘n’ cheese to burgers and popcorn chicken bites, to smaller versions of all the shakes. The cinema room and fro-co station are on hand to keep the little ones entertained too!
All you need to do is decide what you’re having then you can kick back, relax and let us look after you.
We can’t wait to welcome you soon!
