Hickory's Smokehouse Gamston

About

Born from a road trip across America’s Southern States, Hickory’s learned all things smokin’ from the very best pitmasters across the region. The menu is the result of 25 trips to over 80 towns and cities across the Southern States – and counting. From smokehouse classics to barbecue favourites, everything is served up by a team of passionate pitmasters, brilliant bartenders and sensational servers. At the heart of it all is warm, authentic Southern hospitality.

Let’s Brunch

Brunch has to be the most fun – and certainly the most sociable – meal of the day.
There are few things more enjoyable than a long, leisurely meal filled with great food and good company. The Americans understand this better than most, and the Southern States in particular turn brunch into a real event.

The brunch menu offers something for everyone, from Southern-inspired dishes to creative twists on classics, plus a couple of stacked showstoppers. Add freshly brewed coffee or something chilled from the bar, and brunch is done the Hickory’s way.

Served every day until 2pm

A Taste of the South

Authenticity is absolutely key, and it all starts with the smokers. After all, anything good is worth waiting for. Authentic grain-fed brisket is smoked for up to 16 hours in ‘Ole Hickory’ smokers from Missouri and Southern Pride smokers from Tennessee. These smokers are the heart of the restaurants, so guests are encouraged to make a pitmaster’s day and ask for a tour next time they visit.

The Smokehouse selection is cooked low ‘n’ slow, bringing out deep, authentic flavours inspired by the American South. But it takes more than a smoker to create fall-off-the-bone tenderness. It’s the skill and passion of the pitmasters – all trained in the art of barbecue – that makes the difference.

At Hickory’s there’s a saying: “Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear aprons.” And the pitmasters are the heroes.

The Smokehouse menu celebrates this with stacked trays, generous platters for those who want a bit of everything, and traditional, authentic staples you’d expect to find in any smokehouse in the States.

Not in the mood for something smoked? No problem. The menu also features comforting classics, lighter options and plenty of variety, so everyone leaves happy.
And whatever you do… don’t skip the appetisers or desserts. They’re well worth saving room for.
