Brunch in Crewe: Start the Day the Southern Way

Folks in the Southern States know one thing for sure… a good day starts with a proper meal.

That’s why brunch at Hickory’s Gresty Green is all about good food, great company and takin’ your time. No rushing, no rules. Just a table full of Southern-inspired favourites and nowhere else you need to be.

Served every day ’til 2PM. Our brunch menu brings together hearty American breakfasts, sweet treats, savoury favourites and plenty of reasons to make a morning of it.

Meeting a colleague before a busy day? Catching up with a client over coffee? Or bringing the team together for a morning away from the usual routine? Swap the office kitchen for a proper brunch and start the day with something a little different.

Pancake or Waffle? The Choice Is Yours

Some decisions are harder than others. Pancake or waffle? Sweet or savoury? Why not try both on different visits?

Our Pulled Pork Pancake (or Waffle) brings Southern comfort straight to the brunch table, combining Southern-fried pulled pork, a griddled egg and the sweetness of peach, finished with a little heat from pickle and jalapeño salsa.

Sweet, savoury, smoky and a little bit spicy. It’s everything we love about Southern cooking, piled onto your choice of fluffy pancake or golden waffle.

Got a sweet tooth? Our Cherry Pie Pancake (or Waffle) is brunch and dessert rolled into one, with rich cherry compote, silky custard and crushed cookie crumble.

Basically, the perfect excuse to have dessert before lunch.

Proper American Breakfasts and Southern Favourites

Some mornings call for something a little more substantial.

Our Great American Breakfast takes all the best bits of a Full English, doubles them up and adds a proper American twist, complete with a waffle. Come hungry, folks!

Then there’s our much-loved Chicken Fried Waffle. Bringing together golden waffles, maple-candied streaky bacon and Southern-fried chicken. Sweet meets savoury in a brunch dish that means you might not be thinking about lunch for quite some time.

Prefer something a little simpler? Our Smashed Avocado & Poached Eggs combines seasoned avocado, soft poached eggs and fresh tomato on a buttered toasted muffin. Add bacon for a crisp, salty finish.

And for those mornings when only a proper breakfast muffin will do, choose from streaky bacon, sausage patty or Magic-Dusted Mushroom. Feeling extra hungry? Go all out with The Ultimate XXL, loaded with sausage, streaky bacon, Magic-Dusted mushrooms, a griddled egg and American-style cheese, served with Magic-Dusted tater tots.

Make It a Southern Brunch

What’s brunch without something good to sip on?

For a true Southern-style start, try our Bloody Mary. Made with our own tomato spice mix and vodka, finished with maple bacon, savoury popcorn and celery. Fancy turning up the heat? The Bloody Maria swaps vodka for Cazcabel Jalapeño Tequila, while the Red Snapper brings an American twist with James May’s American Mustard Gin.

Prefer something without the booze? Our Georgia Sweet Teas are full of Southern charm. From Cherry Blizzard and Life’s A Peach to Pear Necessi-Tea, a refreshing mix of pear purée, caramel syrup, lemon, apple juice and homemade sweet tea.

You can also keep the coffee flowing with our bottomless Cup of Joe or try our Iced Cold Foam Coffee for something a little different.

Lazy mornings, hearty plates and drinks worth lingering over. Whether it’s a catch-up with colleagues or a well-earned morning away from your desk, that’s brunch, Hickory’s style.

Lunch in Crewe: Your Midday Pit Stop Just Got Better

Lunch. That glorious bit in the middle of the day when you get to stop, take a breath and refuel for whatever comes next.

Well, we reckon it deserves a little more love. So, we're servin' up something new.

Inspired by the laid-back lunch spots, neighbourhood joints and BBQ shacks we’ve discovered on our road trips across the Southern States, our lunch menu is all about big flavours without the big feast.

Available every day ’til 4PM, it’s ideal for a lunchtime catch-up, a quick pit stop, a date or a business lunch that’s a whole lot more exciting than sandwiches around a meeting room table.

Based in Crewe, Shavington, Nantwich or the wider South Cheshire area? Looking for somewhere to take a client for lunch, catch up with a colleague or get the team out of the office for an hour or two? Hickory’s Gresty Green offers a relaxed alternative to the usual coffee shop or desk-side sandwich.

And, of course, you didn’t really think we’d serve lunch at Hickory’s without BBQ, did you?

Bring on the BBQ

Our Big Pig Bap brings 14-hour smoked pulled pork, Kansas BBQ sauce, French’s mustard, pickled red onions and crispy shallots together in one very happy bun.

In need of a burger fix? Go classic with our Hickory’s Single Burger or switch things up with our Southern Fried Single Chicken Burger.

Then there’s our Smoked Tennessee Brisket Sub. Packed with slow-smoked beef brisket, roasted peppers and onions, gooey cheese and creamy pepper sauce, with a pot of Tennessee gravy on the side.

Or take a bite of The Hickory’s Hot Dog, featuring our smoked pork, jalapeño and gooey cheese sausage tucked into a brioche-style sub roll, finished with Kansas-style BBQ sauce and American mustard.

Proper low ’n’ slow goodness, packed into every bite. That’s a lunch worth looking forward to.

Lighter Lunchin’, Hickory’s Style

Not every lunchtime calls for a three-course feast. Sometimes, you just fancy something fresh, warming or a little lighter before getting on with the rest of your day.

Our Hickory’s Baby Cobb Salad brings together crisp lettuce, Kansas caviar (black beans, sweetcorn, peppers and spring onion), blue cheese, soft-boiled egg, avocado, Cheddar and crispy shallots. Fancy a little extra crunch? Add Southern-fried chicken.

For something warming with a Louisiana kick. Our Gumbo is a hot and spicy stew inspired by our trips to Louisiana, served with half a freshly baked baguette.

And if you fancy something a little more indulgent. Our loaded potatoes are piled high with all the good stuff. Choose from 14-hour Smoked Pulled Pork & BBQ Pit Beans or The Philly Shroom, featuring roast flat mushrooms, seared peppers and onions, mornay sauce, mozzarella and crispy onions.

Because a lighter lunch doesn’t have to mean a boring lunch.
