More about Hickory's in Shrewsbury

It all started with a road trip to the Southern States - 18 trips, 70 cities later & counting we bring home inspiration, knowledge, passion & good old Southern hospitality.

Our smokers are imported from Missouri & Tennessee and are shipped 4000 miles across the Atlantic. On our travels we are always greeted like old friends and  we just wanted to bottle the generosity of spirit and open hearted hospitality of the Southern States. From no teeth to false everyone is welcome. Families & friends can meet, unwind and spend time together. Hickory's is a home from home for all our guests.

From how our Pitmasters smoke meat, the secret recipe rubs & sauces to how to make the best Bourbon Old Fashioned, we keep learning. We are always discovering something new & we want to do it right.

We've been bold and opened restaurants in places others wouldn't & we've brought you dishes that shouldn't work; Chicken Fried Waffle with maple syrup - you say they do.

We dared to show American Football at 3am in Chester in 2013 - only 8 people came, now it's 800 & we'll continue to dare to do things differently.

We host local events & together with you we raise money for our chosen charity Cash For Kids. We've raised over £150k so far - thank you.

We want to support local businesses & causes wherever possible, play our part and create fun, memorable events for our local communities.
