The school holidays are here, and if you're looking for ways to keep the whole family happy, we've got just the ticket.

Whether you're planning a family day out, breaking up a long summer holiday, or simply escaping the kitchen for an evening, Hickory's is the place where great BBQ, happy kids and relaxed parents come together.

Family Time Made Easy

We know eating out with little ones isn't always as relaxing as it should be. That's why we've created a Smokehouse experience the whole family can enjoy.

From the moment you arrive, there's plenty to keep everyone smiling. Our Movie rooms are the perfect place for little film lovers to settle in with family favourites while they wait for their food, giving parents the chance to enjoy a well-earned catch-up over Southern sips & smokin' BBQ.

Our table top activites are always a great way to keep them entertained too. Some of our restaurants are event hosting event over the summer - check out our What's On Page to check out what your local Smokehouse has going on.

And for the little looking to burn off some energy in the sun, some of our Smokehouses have outdoor play areas - the perfect way to keep the fun going.

Because happy kids really do make for happy parents.

Big Flavour for Little Appetites

Our kids’ menu is packed with proper crowd-pleasers, designed by mums, dads & kids alike. From crispy popcorn chicken and juicy hot dogs, to creamy mac 'n' cheese and more... it's a hit with every little appetite.

And no visit is complete without our famous Fro-Co. Head to the Creation Station and pile on the toppings - sprinkles, sweets, sauces and everything in between. It's messy, colourful and guaranteed to be one of the highlights of their day.

Big Flavours... Smaller Prices!

The school holidays are heatin' up, but kid's prices are coolin' down! We're passin' on the Government's Summer Savings, so your VIKs will be feastin' for less all summer long... and their sodas' on us too!

And For You? Let’s Talk BBQ.

While the little ones are entertained, it's time for the grown-ups to enjoy what Hickory's does best. Whether it's catching up with mates over drinks in the sun, watching the game with a cold beer, or getting elbow-deep in smokin’ BBQ, there's plenty to enjoy.

Think slow-smoked brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, juicy pulled pork, loaded burgers, wings and all your BBQ favourites, cooked low 'n' slow by our Pitmasters using authentic Deep South techniques. Because what's summer without true BBQ?

Pair it with an ice-cold beer, a refreshing cocktail or one of our handcrafted soda's or iced teas, and you've got the perfect summer feast.

Rain or Shine, Summer Starts Here

Let's be honest - British summers can be unpredictable.

But whether the sun's blazing or the rain decides to make an appearance, Hickory's is ready. Enjoy alfresco dining when the weather plays ball, or head inside for all the Southern hospitality, great food and family fun you could ask for.

Planning a staycation? Make Hickory's part of the journey! We're the perfect pit stop for hungry families looking to refuel before the next adventure. Check out where you can find our Smokehouse's here.

The best summer memories are made around the table. From spontaneous brunches and family dinners to birthday celebrations and holiday treats, we'll take care of the food, the fun and the warm Southern welcome.

So this summer, leave the cooking to us, bring the whole family and discover why Hickory's is one of the UK's favourite places to eat during the school holidays.

We'll have the smokers fired up and the Fro-Co waiting.
