WHATS ON THE MENU?

Here at Hickory's, we believe that if the kids are entertained, grown up's get the chance to soak up the Southern hospitality! Our smokehouses are kitted out with everything you need to keep little ones smilin' from ear to ear. Complete with a separate menu to feed even the fussiest family members!

Our specially created kid’s menu is developed by an in-house team of Mums & Dads to contain just the right balance of treats, healthy options and full-on flavour.

Packed with dishes and drinks to suit smaller appetites, dishes include our classic mac ‘n’ cheese, burgers and cod bites (available from 11am). As well as perfectly portioned American Cooked Breakfasts & fluffy Pancakes (perfect for a pre-santa brunch)!

BRUNCHIN' FOR THE GROWN UP'S

Brunch has got to be the most fun & sociable meal of the day & no one does it better than the Southern states. Our Hickory's Muffins, fluffy Homemade Pancakes, HoneyBird Cinna-Bun & Chicken Fried Waffle are fan favourites & we've got a new Hot Honey Pork Burnt Ends Waffle for you to try! Think a loaded sweet, sticky & savoury waffle topped with our pork bell burn ends, hot honey & mac 'n' cheese.

If you're a fan of all things smokehouse the epic Pitmaster Stack muffin is calling your name. Inspired by the Deep South where pork & egg is on every brunch menu. Or, go for The Hog & The Hen, a tribute to early mornings in Texas- just how they should be!

All washed down with mugs of bottomless cups of Joe coffee or if you're a fan of an iced coffee we've got a couple on the menu. But if tea’s more your thing, we’ve got an iced tea’s line-up including, Cherry Blizzard & Waked ‘N’ Baked. To complete the brunchin' line-up, it wouldn't be a Hickory's brunch without a Bloody Mary. Our own tomato spice mix & vodka, topped with a taste of the smokehouse; maple bacon, savoury popcorn & celery.

Our Santa brunch will book up fast, so don't wait & book your table to join us! You bring your santa squad, appetite & christmas spirit & we'll take care of the rest!
