We're excited to announce that Hickory's is coming to Stafford, and, we can't wait to meet you all! We’re preparing to show our unique take on Southern hospitality to you, our neighbours, the good people of Stafford, Staffordshire and beyond.

We're now taking bookings from Monday 2nd December. We can't wait to swing open the doors & welcome you in!

Where to find Hickory's Stafford...

 You'll find your new local Hickory's on Kingsway, Stafford. 

If you've visited Hickory's before, you'll know we’re all about family-friendly dining and a great bar experience. Hickory's Stafford will be no different! With a complete refurbishment both inside and out, there will be something for everyone to enjoy!

Whether you’re with family, friends, or colleagues, we have the perfect setup just for you. Imagine everything from cozy booths to lively party tables. Our very own terrace & yard feature huts for outdoor dining and drinking, creating a laid-back vibe you’ll love.

Plus, our Chef’s Bar where you’ll get to watch the chefs in action- quite possibly the best seat in the house

Smokehouse Classics...

You'll be able to indulge in smokehouse classics like tender Memphis Ribs, authentic Texas-Style Brisket &  BBQ Pulled Pork - all slow-smoked in house! For the non-smokers we've got you covered too. With dishes such as the Chicken Fried Waffle & the Go Big Or Go Home Burger, there's something for everyone.

Our appetisers and desserts aren’t one to skip out on, so make sure you leave room! From Corn Dogs & Frickles to the Cookie Sandwich & Table Toasted Campfire Marshmallow, the perfect feast awaits. 

Too early for a full feast or looking to start your day with a Hickory's Fix? We've got you covered with our Brunch menu too! From Homemade Pancakes, topped with sweet, savoury and spicy flavours, The Great American Breakfast or even a Hickory's Muffin - what's not to love.

Close your eyes, take a bite & let the authentic flavours whisk you away on a journey into the heart of the Southern States. 

Experience Authentic Southern BBQ

Authenticity is key for us. Our 'Ole Hickory' smokers & Southern Pride smokers  take pride of place in the heart of the restaurant - they are the best of the best in the BBQ world. Shipped straight from Tennessee & Missouri, our smokers are our pride and joy! We'll be open & smokin' 8 days week...

Our Pitmasters are the real deal. They're the heart of what we do, lovingly smokin' to create those prestige smoke rings & that fall of the bone meat. At Hickory's we say, "Not all heroes wear capes; some wear aprons" & these BBQ heroes are here to make sure you leave wanting more!

Younger guests are in for a treat...

Our VIK's really are our most important guests! We keep them entertained with table-top fun, regular special events, an outside play area & of course their very own cinema room that they can come and go as they please.

Our 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 pancake stacks& the classic mac ‘n’ cheese to burgers and popcorn chicken bites. There are also smaller versions of all the shakes.

No visit to Hickory's is complete without a trip to our Fro-Co creation station. Designed to showcase the one & only frozen custard (that’s Fro-Co in Hickory’s talk).

You'll be welcome to pop in just for drinks at our bar anytime. We're pretty proud of our Bourbons - that we've sipped, drank & collected on our road trips. If beer's more your style, no stress. With easy-drinking session ales, including our exclusive Hickory's Pale Ale. And, we've got a selection of bottles & canned craft beers, so there really is a beer for everyone.

Let's raise a glass in Stafford...

Our bar teams love nothing more than shaking up a cocktail. Our drinks list will be bursting with interesting mixes & classic combos that all designed to pay a nod to our Southern roots. Be sure to try one of our signature cocktails.  Go for the Game Changer, a twist on the Hurricane, a real fruity & tropical drink. Check out the Cotton Candy. Gin & Cointreau shaken with lemon juice & poured over candy floss. Or if you like your bourbon ask for an Old Fashioned. 

So whether it's a smooth sip of Bourbon, a refreshing beer or a Hickory's cocktail. There'll be a seat at the bar with your name on it.  

WE'LL BE OPEN & SMOKIN' FROM MONDAY 2ND DECEMBER.
