Hickory’s Smokehouse, renowned for its signature Deep South flavours, is rapidly becoming one of the UK’s most exciting and fast-growing dining destinations. We are proud to have been a key partner in their journey from the early stages, supporting their growth and helping bring their unique smokehouse experience to life across multiple locations.

Our partnership with Hickory’s began through the executive chef director, with whom we had successfully collaborated on a previous project. Initially brought in to assist with kitchen layout, our expertise in this area quickly led to us being entrusted with the complete kitchen and bar installation at each site.

With over 20 Hickory’s sites now completed across the UK and more in the pipeline, we look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with this outstanding brand.

TAILORED KITCHEN SOLUTIONS

No two smokehouse kitchens are the same, but Hickory’s has created a consistent kitchen layout with specific equipment to maintain uniformity across all locations. Each site, however, presents unique challenges due to varying sizes and configurations. At each location, we take their established kitchen design and expertly adapt it to fit the available space, ensuring the kitchen operates smoothly and meets their high standards, regardless of the shape or size of the site.

BESPOKE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT

To achieve its signature style, Hickory’s customises key kitchen equipment to their specifications, and we efficiently create these bespoke pieces for each location. A standout feature in every Hickory’s is the theatre kitchen, capturing authentic American flair with a bespoke Hickory’s grill, brisket station, and large heated pass, all positioned within the theatre kitchen. This setup creates a dynamic space that elevates both the dining experience and atmosphere.

FUNCTIONAL BAR DESIGN

While each site has its own unique layout, the bar serves as the central hub for service. We create an optimised bar layout that is consistent in design yet tailored with bespoke fabrication to fit seamlessly into each space. This approach ensures operational efficiency and a cohesive brand experience across all locations, allowing each bar to function effectively while enhancing the overall ambience for guests.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

We go beyond kitchen installation by offering continuous support through our dedicated service and maintenance department. Our team provides both preventative and reactive maintenance, ensuring Hickory’s kitchen operations run smoothly and efficiently. This commitment minimises downtime and maximises performance, allowing the kitchens to function at their best long after the initial fit-out is complete.
