Me and my wife ate today while we had a child free day. We was the first in at about half 11. The food was wonderful and Emma the manager was a lovely lady and very helpful. We was chatting to her about Christmas bookings and she was telling us about breakfast with Santa for our children. The place is lovely and cosy and we will definitely be booking for Christmas next year and breakfast with Santa this year. Highly recommend this place and the toad in the hole and pork belly is amazing!

My sister from formby was staying in Lichfield my husband and myself are from telford and decided to meet them at the hollybush ,as I have lukemia and no immune system I cannot mix where other people are ,so we sit outside ,it started off fine weather by the time we got to your restaurant it was raining ,your staff couldn't have been more helpfull they roped off a more private area and by a window so we could still be able to eat ,the staff went above and beyond what most places would have gone , the food was very good ,so a massive thankyou to you all at Holly Bush, we would have had to have drove straight back if it weren't for your wonderfull staff ,

Took my cousin out for her birthday to the Holly Bush while we visiting and really enjoyed our visit to the Holly Bush. The staff made us feel welcome and took the time to have a chat with us. The Holly Bush inside is lovely and shows its long history. We had a meal in the restaurant and the food could not be faulted. No issues in recommending the Holly Bush and hope Emma and her team keeps up their good work.

Superb service yet again. Can not fault the friendliness of the staff and the food was excellent. This is our second visit in 3 weeks and are already looking forward to coming back again. 3 of us in total, me my wife and our 8 year old daughter. The real acid test was our daughter who is a very fussy eater. She polished off her full plate of mac and cheese and loved the garlic bread. I had the signature burger which was very tasty, and my wife had the sea bass which she loved. Great food, great pub, fantastic value for money. Well done all at the Holybush

Went Sunday evening staff welcoming ordered food when it came it was cold and roast potatoes unappetising. I informed young waitress she said ' what's seems to be the problem ' . She took it away to heat up returned shortly afterwards still lukewarm and inedible. I gave up hope at this point . They then got the bill wrong. After spending nearly £60 on a meal after work had to come home put the air fryer on and have chips ! Such a shame as a lovely pub most of Staff friendly but food dire !!

[Review date may be incorrect as I edited the original review to correct a typing error] I am sorry to write anything negative but I have had to knock down the ratings due to the experience of my mother - For context I am vegan, and my mother is vegetarian - we also had my sister in law who is on a "regular" diet with us. The starters were all delicious on a good starting note, we all throughly enjoyed. I had bread with oils and olives, my mother had a soup and my sister had the garlic mushroom ciabatta. We could not fault any of the starters as they were all fresh and full of flavour. We got to the main courses and two of the three meals were delicious - I loved what I had and ate the whole meal, if you are going - even if you usually consume meat I'd highly reccomend giving the vegan butternut flatbread a try. The pink mocktail, I can't remember it's exact name but I had it also pairs really well with it, it has a subtle berry flavour. The second dish that went down well was my sister's lasagne, I can't comment on the taste as a vegan but it was well presented and she enjoyed it. The third dish however... my mother had ordered halloumi goujons on a ciabatta and two of them were halloumi, the third one was definately fish. The colour was completely different inside and it was noticably fishy smelling from the other side of the table once it was cut into. Her fries were also par-cooked and soggy and I left some chips out for her because I knew she was less likely to eat fries anyway but they didn't look right - at all. Despite serving her fish the chef was insistent that her goujons were all halloumi but were cooked in fish oil - which is disgusting as fish oil is not vegetarian. This should be stated on the menu as it is not allergen or dietary friendly. We were really unhappy with how lightly it was handled as they still tried to charge her for a meal she couldn't eat and the manager had slipped away to deal with a personal matter upon seeing this go down - I can't fault them for offering her a replacement but if they cook their meals in the same oil it wouldn't be replacable for two reasons; firstly, the oil is still cooked with fish and that would make it not friendly to her diet and secondly, she would have been eating alone. We eventually were given our meals for free for the inconvinence of not being able to eat together which I appreciate as and end result of our conversation but it's a shame we had to bring it to their attention that they can't replace something that is cross contaminated. I would also like to say, to not end on a bad note that we had a really lovely waitress and that the resturant had a nice, friendly atmosphere aside from the negative experience with some of the till staff on my mother's behalf. I would reccomend coming here for a nice meal if you have a party without allergens who do not follow meat or fish free diets as despite the high quality of the food it has made us cautious to return as the allergen training does not seem to be up to scratch.

Appalling service. Family of 6. Told no tables and told to sit on bar tables near entrance for food. Several tables free but told they were fully reserved. Families left before and during our meal but still told that tables not free. Had starters, mains and deserts which took over 2 hours. 5 tables were were free before, during and after we left. 2 members of staff on. Male taking order was rude and appeared not to be bothered. Perhaps over worked but needs to be trained to looked after customers. £170 paid. Shame as a otherwise nice pub and food. Won’t be going again.Look after your customers and don’t let them sit by the door saying tables are not free when this is not the case.

We had not visited The Holly Bush for a long time and when we received an offer to visit we decided to visit one evening in June. We were welcomed by the Manager who welcomed us back and said that she was pleased to see us. After asking about the offer we both decided on the Lamb Shank Shepherds Pie that was described as: 8-hour slow-cooked lamb shank, baked into a minced lamb & vegetable pie, topped with creamy mash with a Barber’s of Somerset Cheddar crust. Served with buttered greens at a cost of £23.49 each. When it arrived it was not exactly what we had expected but after we had tried to eat the Lamb Shank it was clear that we could not separate the lamb from the bone and after testing it with my finger it was clear that it was still frozen. I asked to see the manager and she apologised and asked if we would like another and we declined and chose the Fish and Chips that were nice. She returned later and explained that the chef had not pushed the temperature probe far enough into the lamb and as an apology did not charge us for the first round of drinks. Whilst the manager was aware that we had a voucher this was not shown on the bill so we paid the full price for our meal. We had expected much better from a Chef and Brewer restaurant and will not be visiting again. A subsequent visit by the Environmental Health Officer pointed out to the manager and staff the importance of checking the temperature of food before serving to customers. The photos show what Greene King advertise and the meal that was served to us (still frozen)

Lovely meal at the Holly Bush. Tried one of the specials - Leek, Asparagus and Cheese Pie. Emma (General Manager) advised new specials are about to be launched! We were very pleased when Shaun, the Kitchen Manager, came over to our table and explained the new specials very enthusiastically. He gave us a flavour and said he'd look forward to our feedback. Can't wait to try them out!

Decided to eat with yourselves today. Unfortunately not the best experience. Asked for a table for 2 the waitress was not the best she was very stroppy and came across as rude. She took us to a table and threw the menus on it and walked off. Returned after 10 minutes to take our drinks order. Then took our food order which was a sharing starter and 2 steaks. After about 30 minutes our steaks came out to which we asked about our starter. Stroppy waitress then came and told us the kitchen had not got our starter order. She then said if you want your starter you will have to wait a little or you can just have your steak. At that point we decided not to have anything and left. I wouldn't mind but there wasn't many people in.

Went for my birthday 5/5. My husband & I had been looking fwd to the lamb shank shepherds pie since the new menu came out. Boy was we disappointed. The meal looks nothing like how it's advertised (see pic) barely any meat underneath the mash, less than a cm, there was so much more needed to fill the dish (see pic) shank thrown on top & the mash slapped on top. Then a little limp cabbage thrown on the side all for £23 x 2. Couldn't fault other meals ordered. sorry but never again Holly bush. Lost another family as customers

we have been before and have had really nice meals but sadly wont be back after tonight. rubbish food - overcooked fatty fish that was so hard in places i spat it out thinking it was bone, hardly any chips, mushy peas that my partner pointed out resembled playdough. food wasn’t even hot when it came out so i’m assuming it had been sat there ages and for the price we could’ve got nicer elsewhere. would have said this to the waitress had she come over but she never asked us how the meal was, was more interested in the tables around us left us waiting 20 minutes to order sweets so we paid the bill and went to a supermarket to get one instead and even had to get up to pay the bill at the bar because after asking her for it she still walked past us 3 times serving other tables. fair enough if it was busy but there were only 4 other tables. my partner did say his food was alright but almost £50 for 2 meals a coke and a beer is shocking when the food and service isn’t good and i’m sure we were charged for tap water as well!!

Came in here for somewhere different, was a very quiet little pub, we dined in the dog area as brought a 4 legged friend. We were made to feel welcome, and the main meal was very nice, the pudding however came out almost frozen as was very different to cut through (we had the cheesecake). Unfortunately service was very slow taking 5 mins for anyone to come ask us what drinks we wanted when first arriving, nobody checked on us to ask if everything was ok with the main meal, and when we ordered the pudding and a 2nd round of drinks we only received the pudding as they forgot about the drinks. We may call back again as it was a nice little pub, but do think service needs improving, oh and possibly some WiFi as no mobile signal or music on in the background.

My meal was good, my wife's was very bad; potatoes cooked in duck fat must have been cooked a week ago and kept warm,they were cold and dry. Honey roasted carrots-only one and overcooked, the rest of the carrots were just boiled to heat and undercooked. Suffing was like eating seasoned sawdust and the yorkshire pudding was so full of cheap tasting cooking oil it was unedible. Side order was served 10 mins after the mains so was sent back. Service was a joke, having waited 40mins for starters the waitress managed to drop some of the food (squid) from the plate to the floor, said sorry and would bring more, walking away leaving the sqiid on the floor which I had to pick up. Other starter did not arrive and when asked about it the reply was oh. At the end of the meal the waiter apologised for the food and reduced the bill by the only pudding that was orded. Atmosphere was not great as you could hear people talking about poor food and service. Will we visit again?-doubtful. Would we recommend?-no.

My husband and I visited for the first time as recommendation, unfortunately we will not be going back. Although my husband enjoyed his meal the same can't be said about mine. I have a wheat allergy and when presented with the menu the choice is very limited. When my meal arrived the portion was tiny. I have never since a jacket potato so small and the salad was the same. If you cannot offer the same value for money on a wheat free option then either reduce the price or don't bother.

Went on a Sunday afternoon with family. What we found was a pub / restaurant that seemed to be in decline?? 1, Ordering drinks took ages. 2, Tables were dirty. Asked to get ours cleaned and despite saying they would clean it,nothing. So when i asked again i was given paper towel and i had to clean it myself. 3, When we were sat at the table the service was very slow. Ordered the food and approximately 30 mins later it was served. My order was the Venison sausage and mash. What a disappointment !! Presented as two sausages on a small amount of mashed potato. No garnish etc. Then when i sampled the sausage, it was way over cooked and i could not cut the meat.So I sent it back. Overall impression was that the staff need better training. The Manageress looked stressed and the restaurant could do with a good clean. Won't be back.

We had Emma and her team dealing with us tonight, and I have to say Emma was exceptional with her service and so kind with any and all requests. She was very helpful and willing to give us the best options and made the experience as joyful and simple as possible. The food was very good. I had the salt and pepper squid and then the pork belly, which definitely felt was worth the price we paid. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. We went on a night where it wasn't fully booked, so the noise wasn't bad, but do think if it was full, the noise might become a problem.

Really lovely pub - we came for breakfast and it arrived promptly and was delicious. It is one of only a handful of pubs in the Lichfield area that I know of that are open for breakfast, and it’s definitely worth a visit for it. Service was personable and Emma was a great host. We would definitely return for Sunday roast and the surrounding area will be lovely as we move into spring and summer.

Only one down side which affected our review. We had stopped coming some time ago as the quality of food and service had dropped considerably, but I'm happy to say it's back. Our service from Emma was fantastic and our main meal was lovely but when it came to our desserts we had a different server & the ice-cream sundae only had half of a scoop of ice cream, the whipped cream placed over the peices of choc fudge was hiding a big hollow. It took a while to get the young girls attention, she was busy talking but when we did it was taken away to replace & she apologised. Sadly when it came back the choc fudge had been removed & replaced with a scoop of ice cream, there was also only a shell of a scoop with the other dessert too, maybe there was an issue scooping 🤔. If the pudding had been OK or at least corrected properly we'd of been happy to leave a 5 star review as everything else was back to a great standard.

Recently have eaten Breakfast and Lunch here. Food is decent for price and as part of a pub chain! Service is great too but it's the atmosphere I really like, especially in the winter. Very cosy and warm. Eaten here many times and still will continue to visit!

Love where this pub is situated & the cosy decor. Breakfast with santa was fab & my son really enjoyed it. Great portion sizes even for the childs! Emma is always friendly & can't do enough for you. Not the first time we have been here ;)

I attended an 80th birthday party here. I had been to Holly bush several times and always enjoyed my meal. However, this time was awful. We had to pre-book our meal choices so were looking forward to a well cooked, hot meal. The starters were fine. Unfortunately, we then had to wait for 30 minutes after the plates had been removed. I had the vegan pie. It was only edible on one side, due to being put in the micro wave on high and becoming too hard to get my teeth through. My carrots were cold and the parsnips dried up. The sprouts were cold, waterlogged and undercooked. Half of the potatoes were cold and half warm. The people waiting for turkey dinner didn't get them until I'd finished battling with mine. The only meals which were good were the burgers! Perhaps the Hollybush managers would consider hiring cooks who can cope with proper meals? I speak as a professional, fully trained and qualified cook.

My husband and I love coming here for a roast dinner. Amazing quality, service and atmosphere. They allow dogs in the bar area too which is lovely as they provide blankets, treats and bowls of water. It’s beautiful and cosy decor throughout feels so inviting and the staff are always pleasant and accommodating. Today we were served by Eddie and he was extremely attentive and very well mannered despite possibly being a bit rushed.

It was really busy tonight both with takeaway orders and people dining in the restaurant. The service was slower because of this and some people were not happy. We could see that the staff were working hard and were in no hurry so didn't mind. When the food arrived it was excellent, sometimes the quality can suffer at busy times but it didn't tonight. Well done to all concerned on a very challenging evening.
