    Gary, next time you fancy southern American/BBQ and you’re south of London, I'd recommend 'Smith & Western'. A local chain founded in Horsham, Sussex but have spread about to Chichester and Tunbridge. Can be a bit pricey but the food was good, restaurants have a great atmosphere (highly themed and have cowboy movie memorabilia) and staff excellent when we went.

    Well, Gary, I felt right at home at Hickory's! I almost want to say, "Welcome to Texas, ya'll"! The setting, the newspaper menu, the food, the portion sizes very familiar. Someone must have lived in the US for a while. Some items definitely Texan, others a bit more Southern. Sweet cornbread a bit of the South. The sausage, BbQ ends are Texan. Cobb salad is a main dish and pretty filling. The onion rings are usually shared. The big garden with plenty of space usually gets filled up with kids on the weekends, families dine together. Not unusual to have live music, everyone dances! Very happy review😊.

    The ol' ball and chain and I went to Hickory's in Worcester a year or so ago and the venue was equally impressive, the quality first rate and the portions colossal so they're evidently consistent.

    Went to Hickory’s for the first time on Saturday, and I whole heartedly agree! 👍
    Full rack of ribs (in Bourbon sauce) 10/10, juicy and tasty, not dry at all
    Full sized brisket 10/10, just not enough of it
    I gave the pulled pork with beans an 8, wife gave it a 10
    Coleslaw 8/10, onions/pickles 10/10
    Other highlights; hot sweet popcorn in a mini paper bag as you are shown to your seat, table tennis tables outside, lovely gardens/seating, blankets provided for when the sun goes down, a mini 12 seater cinema looping animated films to keep the youngsters amused in between courses, their own brand of pale ale, tater tots as a side, toasted marshmallows as a pudding are a fire hazard, but great fun (the fire bowl get EXTREMELY hot and a bit smoky as it burns out) 🥵
    Yes, it is a bit pricey, but will be heading back again soon!

    Ah Gary. Another of your excellent reviews and yet again, you have chosen a chain that I have also used. My partner and I visited the Hickory's Smokehouse on the banks of the River Dee in Chester, in April 2022. The location, right on the side of the river was terrific, the interior décor was excellent, the service great and the food outstanding. I had a rack of ribs and my word, they were good. Chester is a long way from where I live in London, but I would be very tempted to go there again just for Hickory's. Boy, my mouth was watering all through this video. Loved it.
