Signage has gone up for the new Hickory’s Smokehouse in Hampton, with the restaurant set to open its doors over the coming weeks.
Scheduled to open during early summer, Peterborough’s new Southern-style BBQ restaurant will replace the former Mulberry Tree Farm pub which closed in February.
Work to renovate the former pub is nearing completion, with Hickory’s branding now visible on the building’s exterior.
Diners will be able to enjoy Southern classics including Memphis ribs and 16-hour smoked Texas-style brisket.
Around 100 new jobs will be created by the new Hickory’s, with roles including Senior Sous Chef and General Manager Designate are currently being recruited.
The new restaurant will feature a ‘neighbourhood bar’ where guests can enjoy Southern-inspired cocktails, as well as a choice of 25 different types of bourbon.
