Hickory's Southport is back open & smokin' after our refresh...

To all our neighbours, our guests & the good people of Southport - a massive thank you for supporting us for the past 7 years. And what a 7 years we've had.

We’ve proudly been smokin' authentic BBQ, shakin' cocktails & meeting so many wonderful guests. We've loved every minute & couldn't have done it without you.

Our refresh is complete - come & see what we've done with the place!

Whether you’re a Hickory’s Southport regular, haven’t been for awhile or are still to try us out let us tell you a bit about the place...

We take our inspiration from the places we’ve been to, with lots of quirky touches and Southern inspired design ideas, to create a place for everyone to enjoy.

The Chef's Bar...

For BBQ fans our Chef's Bar has been a big favourite since we first swung open the doors. It's quite possibly the best seat in the house with a view of our slow-smoked Texas style Brisket. Our chefs might even lift the lid on a few pitmaster secrets.  If all this talk of Brisket is making you hungry check out the menu.

And, when you visit us, make our pitmaster James' day & ask for a tour of the smokers. Make yourself acquainted with Southport's very own smokers.

The restaurant area has most definitely served up lots of smokin' BBQ & welcomed countless guests, so it's having a refresh. You spoke & we listened...we've added new booths & larger tables. Perfect for get togethers & celebrations.

The Bar...

You're always welcome to join us for a drink in the bar too! Our refreshed bar area is the perfect place to sit back with a drink in hand. Whether you're watching the sport (on our new additional big screens), catching up with friends or enjoying a pre BBQ cocktail. Connor, Liv & all our passionate bartenders are a friendly bunch & talented bunch, so ask them for a recommendation or to shake up your favourite.

Our Garden...

Our garden has been a firm favourite when sunny Southport lives up to it's name (who remembers the outdoor cinema in the torrential rain?). So, it's had a makeover too. Think new tables, for both dining & drinking, a new play area for younger guests & we're taking our huts to the next level. Our new huts have comfier seats & you can take control of the heating (& they're dog friendly too). The perfect place for everyone- just in time for the summer.

For Younger Guests...

Our VIK's really are our most important guests! We keep them entertained with table-top fun, regular special events - we've welcomed so many characters to our brunches and of course their very own movie room, which has had a refresh. But there's more...an all new play area in the garden! So they can burn off some energy in the garden or sit back and relax in the movie room.

Check out our kids menu - it's been specially created with a team of mums, dads and kids, so it contains just the right balance of treats, healthy options and fun. 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).

We've helped celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, new arrivals, graduations & just about every other occasion, and we can't wait to keep that going!

What great neighbours we've got too! We've become good friends with the guys from Kew Woods Primary, Queenscourt Hospice, Southport College, Southport FC Community football & the Edge Hill Vikings to name a few. Together we've enjoyed a few god events too - Super Bowls, Garden Parties (in the rain) and so much more. All of this is thanks to you our guests. Your unwavering support over the years has been something else.

And, to our team too! Our very own General Manager, Adam has been here since day 1 (we did send him to Wilmslow on a side mission) before returning home in 2023. Adam doesn't do it alone though... What makes Hickory's Southport truly special is the whole team - the chefs, the pitmasters, the KPs, the bussers, the servers, the barbacks, the bartenders and the managers. From the long-standing legends t0 familiar faces; Mike, James (Tat), Martin, Matthew, Elliot, Samantha, Lydia, Elesha, Connor, Keira & Tash to name a few - thank you!

 So, book yourself a table, take a look around & enjoy some smokin' BBQ.
