There will be a used by date on every food item that you receive which will confirm the use by date. Then once you have heated your food any leftovers can be refrigerated for 24 hours and then enjoyed cold. If you’re not planning on heating everything when it arrives you can freeze it before heating. Just make sure you defrost thoroughly and then follow our heating instructions. 

You will need to heat your food (in the oven, on the hob or microwave), we’ve already lovingly smoked all the food low ‘n’ slow in our Ole Hickory smokers and then chilled it, so you’ll just need to follow the heating instructions that we’ll put in your BBQ box.

You’ll get heating instructions with your order that will take you through the simple steps to heat in the oven. Most items take only 20 minutes to heat (the 1/2 chicken takes 30 mins), including the the Family Platter, so you won't have to spend hours in the kitchen. Once it’s in the oven though you can kick back, relax & get ready for your BBQ.

We wouldn’t advise to reheat the food at home after you’ve already heated it, but you can enjoy any leftovers cold within 24 hours of heating, just make sure you keep them in the fridge.

None of our food has been frozen so yes you can freeze if you wish when it arrives. When you’re ready to enjoy it, make sure you defrost everything thoroughly and then follow our heating instructions.

Yes, nearly everything on the menu is non-gluten containing – the only exceptions are the Smoked Sausage, Classic Mac ‘n’ Cheese and the Mac ‘n’ Cheese side dish. We also list all the allergens for every item. If you have any specific questions please email us hello@hickorysathome.co.uk and we’ll get back to you.
