Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Our first visit to the Hickory,so what a delight a very easy and relaxing atmosphere. The staff were attentive but not pushy,with a polite and happy attitude. We were looked after by Evie,Angus and Carrie,( sorry folks probably not spelt correctly.) The meal was a...treat,different because of the "smoking",melt in your mouth "pulled pork and chicken",with a flavour to die for,we were just sorry we couldn't eat it all,the portions are bigger than you would expect. We're going back again.More

First time trying the new carvery menu and my goodness they didn’t disappoint. Tasty and tender meats, crunchy roast potatoes and a large selection of veg and cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets. On top of that some innovative extras of creamed corn and a...mini swede and carrot hash brown 🤤 that beautifully complimented the dish. Warm atmosphere with kind and helpful staff that are happy to help. Such a hidden gem of a pub!More

The food was absolutely lovely and banging. The decorations were so cool, actually, me and my family played a game, guess how long it took them to set them up! I had a wonderful experience, the staff were so nice! They were absolutely hilarious, and...the place is gigantic! Also, (may be TMI) they decorated the bathroom door with all the halloween stuff, we came in October. At the end, we went to go look at the fish, we called them Bob and Jeremy, and I fell over into the giant box of decorations. But I do have 1 complaint, The leaflets were out of date. It said “what is new in 2021?” And to the best of my knowledge, (I’m pretty smart too) it is currently 2023. But overall, it was amazing. I totally recommend.More

That was one of the best pub and food and Athmosphere experiences I have had for a long time in this country!!! The meat platter that we shared was enormous and the meat all cooked prefectly! The gravy was also delicious and so were the...potatoe fries and everything else. There were two bars serving a huge selection of beers and I enjoyed a good bottle of red wine. But best of all was also the superb staff with Chloe and Sean and Jess! Thank you all so much for a wonderful evening and I can't wait to come back!! AllieMore

Comfortable, roomy pub. Tasty, generous lunch, way beyond our expectations. Our server, Abs, was cheerful and welcoming; nothing was too much trouble for her. Very dog friendly.

Came upon this little gem while up from Cornwall looking for a car. Loved the outside seating area in little sheds, really friendly staff and great atmosphere. Sunday roast with a smoke House twist was absolutely bang on. The meat was cooked to perfection, melt...in your mouth brisket. Look forward to coming back up to try other items on the menu.
