The Deeside Dragons are proud to announce our newest partner — Hickory’s Smokehouse Chester!
If you’ve ever strolled along the River Dee, you’ll know that smell — the slow-cooked barbecue goodness drifting out from Hickory’s Smokehouse. It’s where Southern-style smokehouse culture meets warm Northern hospitality, and now, that same community spirit is joining forces with the Dragons.
From mouth-watering brisket to signature ribs and burgers stacked higher than a puck drop, Hickory’s is all about bringing people together over great food — something that fits perfectly with our club’s family-first atmosphere both on and off the ice.
It’s also quickly become a home from home for our American imports Jake Witkowski and Colin Cromie, who’ve found a slice of the States right here in Chester. With its buzzing atmosphere, big screens showing US sports, and a menu straight out of the Deep South, Hickory’s has given our boys a real taste of home — and a place to unwind after a weekend on the ice.
💬 A word from the Dragons:
“Hickory’s embodies everything we value as a community club — passion, teamwork, and creating memories that bring people together. We’re absolutely thrilled to have them on board as a sponsor and part of the Dragons family.
We recently held a team function at Hickory’s following our player induction day, and the service, food, and hospitality were outstanding. The staff made our players and families feel right at home, and it was the perfect setting to bring everyone together ahead of the new season.
As a club, we’re really looking forward to hosting more team and fan events in their vibrant Sports Bar — it’s the ideal spot for great food, live sport, and a real sense of community.”
💬 The Hickory’s team added:
“We’re buzzing to be supporting the Deeside Dragons this season. The energy, the fans, and the sense of community around the club are just incredible — and we can’t wait to get involved!”
