Enjoy a taste of the Deep South as Hickory’s Smokehouse is set to open in Leicester in summer 2025.
Born from road-trips across America, meeting pitmasters and discovering new flavours, Hickory’s has grown into a well known family-friendly smokehouse chain in the UK.
Describing themselves as a “small but perfectly formed group of barbecue style restaurants, who live and breathe the values of Southern USA hospitality“, the restaurant will open in The Fox Pond Pub, Oadby, which is closing in the spring for a full refurbishment. It will then re-open in the summer as Hickory’s Smokehouse.
The Hickory’s brand was acquired by Greene King, who own The Fox Pond in 2022, and there will be significant investment made into the transformation.
The menu at Hickory’s Smokehouse takes customers from brunch to dinner, with breakfast favourites including Steak n Eggs, Chicken Fried Waffle, Honeybird Cinnabun and Hickory’s Muffins, to name a few. The main Smokehouse menu will take you through Burnt Ends, Classic Corn Dogs, Smoked Wings, Smoked Brisket, Baby Back Ribs, 8-hour Smoked Beef Rib, and much more.
Kids are also catered for with their own menus, plus there is also a gluten free menu available.
To check out the full menus to see what you can expect, visit the Hickory’s Smokehouse website.
Hickory’s Smokehouse is expected to open at The Fox Pond, Glen Rise, Oadby in summer 2025.
