Hickory's Smokehouse Launch EPIC new menu

The nights are getting darker, the weathers on the turn, it’s officially Autumn and that means it's time for a new menu at Hickory’s Smokehouse. Don’t worry, the teams much-loved smokehouse classics and BBQ favourites aren't going anywhere but Hickory's new menu sees the return of some old favourites, along with some exciting new dishes and drinks that are perfect for the season.

Brunch Time...

Brunch has got to be the most fun and certainly the most sociable meal of the day and no-one does it better than the Southern States. You can still grab the all-time brunch staples including the Hickory's Muffins, fluffy Homemade Pancakes and HoneyBird Cinna-Bun, but waffle fans are in for a treat with the all-new Hot Honey Pork Burnt Ends Waffle.  Think, a loaded, sweet, sticky and savoury waffle with pork belly burnt ends, hot honey and mac 'n' cheese.

Choose your favourite and wash it down with mugs of bottomless cups of Joe coffee or if tea is more your thing, the team have added a couple of new Southern inspired iced teas to the lineup with the all new Cherry Blizzard & Waked ‘N’ Baked- expect all the autumnal vibes with this one. Baked apple, caramel, sweet tea, lemon juice & apple juice. To complete the line-up, it wouldn't be a Hickory's brunch without a Bloody Mary- their own tomato spice mix and vodka, topped with a taste of the smokehouse; maple bacon, savoury popcorn and celery- exactly as it should be done!

Start things off strong...

There are a few old favourites making a comeback too. The Bourbon Glazed Chicken Wings have slid back into pole position, with another autumn classic, the South Louisiana Gumbo also joining the seasonal shake up.  The summery Shrimp Tostadas have been replaced with a flavourful Hot-Honey Fried Chicken option - 3 soft corn tortillas loaded with fried chicken, green tomatillo salsa, coriander and pickled red onions.

New Additions...

For meat lovers, the new menu raises the ‘steaks’ to a whole new level too, with some new cuts including the flavoursome New York Strip. A premium steak known for its intensely rich, nutty flavour, sourced from grass-fed cattle and aged for 50 days.

And if you fancy going all-out, the star of the show has to be The Cattleman’s Choice. The ultimate date night / mate night feast for 2, this meat-lovers nirvana includes a 6oz blackened rump steak, cowboy buttered 10oz sirloin steak, pepper sauce and a Tennessee gravy glazed 8hr smoked beef rib. Served with mac ‘n’ cheese, skin-on fries, pickles, house slaw and fire-kissed chilli & Magic-dusted field mushroom. Our advice, arrive hungry!

Save Room for Dessert...

Nothing says Autumn more than apple pie, but as ever, the team have put a typical Hickory’s twist on this classic – think Jam Jar Cheesecake style! Layers of vanilla cheesecake, custard, crushed cinnamon apples and cookie crumble served with cinnamon sugar-coated churros sticks.  Perfect for warming up, the Cherry Pie Deep Dish Pan Cake will not disappoint- An American style pancake, topped with black cherry, cookie crumble & our frozen custard, dusted with cinnamon sugar.

Choose your Tipple...

The talented bartenders have been busy creating a whole new range of drinks at Hickory’s annual cocktail competition, with the chance for their drink to feature on the menu. The winning mix, courtesy of bar supremo Alex Davies, is a real ‘taste of home’. The How Momma Made It cocktail was inspired by his mother’s own blackberry and apple pie recipe. Mellow Corn Straight Cornwhiskey, winter berry syrup, buttery cinnamon, apple liqueur and a blackberry pie garnish!

The on-trend Margaritas have had a makeover too. The Pitmaster Margarita is inspired by the flavours and action in the smoker room - JD Apple, Drambuie, citrus, baked apple syrup, cinnamon, topped with ginger ale. Smokin’ in every way!

No booze. No problem, the teams beloved homemade sodas are still very much at the heart of the drinks offering, and there is a fantastic range of great tasting non-alcoholic cocktails too including the Bubble Blue Cooler, Smart & Stormy and The Strawberry State.
