Holly Bush Inn in Amber Valley

Outstanding local pub , great friendly and cheerful staff , always a nice warm and friendly atmosphere.

Great service, friendly staff, excellent positions, good value for money..5 🌟

Very friendly attentive staff and food good and fresh. Typical pub grub but good standard. Nice and clean and a welcoming fire.

Can't comment on food as we just called in for a drink, a few people in and guy on guitar (acoustic night) . This pub gets it's best reviews for it's food but looked like a quiet ( apart from the guitar guy) local pub.

Great pub friendly atmosphere and good food.

Excellent food, the chips are amazing and prices are spot on 👍

Food was lovely and it's dog friendly We reserved a table and they gave us one near the bar with plenty of space for Milo to settle. We enjoyed it so much on the Wednesday we went back on the Thursday

Went for lunch Friday it was very busy , but got served no problem . Lunch was lovely couldn't fault anything , home cooked pie and chips 😋😋

Chips were banging and open mic night was well good

Worlds best chips! nice atmosphere.

Went to see a fantastic band... SumKindaYella Dog 🐕 friendly is a bonus

Best pub around for food entertainment and atmosphere

A great local Pub with a fantastic atmosphere the staff are really enthusiastic and just want you to have a good time

Superb food and lots of it, probably the best home made chips in the area, clean establishment and friendly staff.

A hidden gem not to be missed, food was great and atmosphere was interesting. Service was excellent only downside if you suffer from allergies to dog your buggered at the restaurant and finally the vegetarian options is limited.

We arrived near the end of the lunch service, as I was working till 2pm. I had phoned to make sure it was OK to do this. Staff were lovely and friendly and reserved us a table. We were given a long list of specials as well as the menu. We both chose specials and the food was delicious - the best chips I've had in decades! Very reasonable prices, great food and lovely staff. What more could you want?

Roast dinner was below par. Beef was great! Veg was on the raw side and roast potatoes were destroyed.

Fabulous home cooked food, absolutely delicious 😋 friendly staff and a good price. Definitely recommend

Service was excellent from start to finish last Sunday we had the roast beef dinner the meat was so tender it fell apart and good choice of veg Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes gravy couldn't fault it at all

Welcoming, lovely staff a d the food is very good . A nice friendly atmosphere and I enjoyed every minute in this pub.

Enjoyed a nice meal of meat pie, chips and peas, very tasty, served nice and hot. The food is always nice, reasonable price for pub food. Clean eating area.

Poor service waited 20 minutes for a menu after eating was not offered a sweet menu and had to again ask for one. Then while still eating our sweet was asked to hurry and vacate the table as it was booked for someone else. Will not be going again.

Visited family this weekend and stopped in for lunch on Sunday. Found the children’s menu very limited, especially as my kids don’t really like chips. I also found the Sunday menu limited for anyone who doesn’t eat meat. I had the option of two dishes! Roast lunch without meat or scampi with chips. I understand that Sunday menus are not as extensive as a weekly menu but this had not been thought out at all. If you’re vegan/ vegetarian your only choice is a plate of watery, boiled, overcooked vegetables. They strangely have three types of steak and ale pie on the menu which are basically all the same but different prices.

Came to celebrate our Dad's 89th birthday and we certainly wasn't disappointed. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered, Dad had the whale, I don't think I've ever seen a fish so big. Thank you everyone at Holly Bush for a wonderful time.

First timers and the atmosphere was very welcoming and the food was excellent, will definitely be returning. Thankyou.

Lovely roast dinner. Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Good value for money. Will definitely come again. Too full for a dessert, but they look great. Top marks x

Sunday Roast Are The Best and to Die For. Especially The Veggie Roast. Well Done Christina. & All the Staff Will Definitely Be back again Soon

This is an amazing place to go for a meal, decent pint and fantastic quiz night on Thursday's too. Fantastic friendly staff, great atmosphere.

Absolutely love coming here, the food is lovely certainly get your moneys worth and more.

We had our Dad's wake here, and the staff looked after us well. The buffet was lovely and well presented. They also did a dairy free selection, which was good. They also made a lovely orange trifle, which seemed to be a big hit with everyone.

The food was excellent everything spot on i came with my mates for a lunch break.The staff where so nice and polite and the drinks on draft and sundays where beautiful my recommendations are the steak and ale pie and also the biscoff desery is amazing very recommended

very good pub for drinking and socialisation, really good staff and polite

Great local pub would highly recommend.

Went to see Unit Six play on Saturday, 19/08. Pub is lovely, first time there. Atmosphere excellent and good facilities. Some of the bar staff were a little unfriendly but maybe that was because it was busy. Didn't have food, so cannot comment on that. Overall nice place to go 😁

What a great find ! Superb little pub and great food very reasonably priced and goid portions a meal for 4 cost us 50 including puddings and they are good ! We will definitely go back

Had very nice lunch here recently, generous portions and good menu choice.

Great venue with great food, what more can you say.

Great food and service, highly recommended.

Wonderful food always piping hot. The staff are lovely and always helpful. There is always a lovely atmosphere x

Not eaten here, but locally, it has a good reputation. Always a good selection of real ales, ciders & continental beers.

Outstanding food, staff and establishment. A gem in a quiet village. Will return soon. Thankyou for your hospitality. We'll done

Great food & great staff... only one thing.... bring an appetite! The portions are full and you won't want to leave any!

Simple food served with a smile. Excellent VFM

Enjoyable and good value lunchtime meal

We would like to thank Marc, Kerry and all the staff, particularly Ann, for giving us the most stress free wedding imaginable at the weekend. At very short notice they couldn't have been more helpful, with 36 seated for dinner the food was hot and delicious, it was served efficiently and all our guests mentioned how great it was. We hired a marquee from Marshalls Marquees and there was plenty of room for it to be pitched on the carpark. We had over 100 guests in the evening and it all flowed perfectly, the bar staff handled it brilliantly. We couldn't recommend them enough for any function you have in mind, no matter how large. We dont have pictures yet but Ann has which I'm happy to be shared to show how great it was ...thanks again team Holly Bush Marehay x

There was so much food on the buffet for mums wake

Lovely place , welcoming, friendly staff. Cosy inside. Sunday lunch amazing, tasty,well cooked ,price very good . Service great

Take away carveries are spot on.

The staff are helpful and friendly. There's always a good selection of beer and cider available

I've been a few times for a meal, and the food was good every time, and fairly priced, so no complaints... It's a pub, so beer too, can't go wrong really. Food and beer, happy days.

Very pleasant staff nice food. Thought the drinks were a little expensive but that's me I'm used to wetherspoon price's

Been here loads and also had take aways. Over the years.Always to perfection. Sometime twice a week. Sat we went for a meal 2 Adults 2 children myself and daughter had lasagne it was burnt, black lumps of burnt topping, I told staff and she said I will tell the chef. No apologies nothing. Very unsatisfactory.

Nice beer and food and good company

We had a lovely 3-course meal and were served very quickly - no waiting. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go there again.

Good menu and variety of real ales.

Food is amazing and good value, had a bit of trouble being seated in the right place and being served though, but don't let this stop you trying this place out 🙄

Main course was nice as usual but service and desserts where terrible

Met four friends here for lunch as its a central handy meeting place. I hadn't eaten here before but was assured the food was amazing. I wasn't disappointed! There was lots of choice on the lunchtime menu. I opted for the steak pie with home made chips and mushy peas, it was absolutely amazing, i would highly recommend it. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent. I'll be back for sure!

Excellent friendly local pub. Good food. Good beer.

We had a family & friends get together at the Holly Bush following the scattering of ashes of our beloved Grandmother. We enjoyed such lovely meals we had pre-ordered and the staff were lovely.

Great live music, a warm welcome and good, cheap pub grub.

Nice pub, nice meal, friendly staff, Good choice at the bar.

A nice traditional local pub with a good choice of menu.The staff are friendly,helpful,and efficient.It has a good sized car park and decent on street parking.The beer is well kept with a good choice at the bar.Meals are averagely priced,well cooked,and you don’t half get a plateful.All in all a nice place for a bite to eat and a pint.

This is a proper pub with a glorious selection of beers and ciders. Never fails to delight.

Spacious, polite and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

The pub is extremely uninviting with rude bar staff and a unpleasant atmosphere, the food was okay but the pub didn’t feel a nice place to be. i think it’s more of a “local” drinkers pub

Nice selection of beers and ciders, always really friendly. A great pub to go to after a long cycle. We'll recommended.

Proper homemade food, the roast dinner s are amazing, not like these bland carvery places

Great beer and real pub grub in a wonderful friendly surroundings, live music at weekends, along with quiz night and free food on Thursdays.

Wanted to try somewhere different, so off we went to the Holly Bush. Lovely pub and a friendly welcome. As a party of 3, I had roast beef, the beef was so lovely and tender, 1 had roast turkey, plate cleaned up and 1 had beef, stilton and beer pie, what a portion !!!! Couldn't finish it all but really enjoyed what he ate. Very reasonable price, Thanks very much, x

We have visited the Holly bush once for lunch on a Friday and for Sunday lunch great menu selections especially Sunday . We enjoyed the food so much we went for Sunday lunch , we will be going regularly now , it's so nice to find home cooked food . The meat they serve is so succulent it's definitely melt in the mouth tender All served by friendly staff 😊

Great food. Lovely staff. Good prices. Highly recommend the Moo Pie

Lovely food & staff. Great selection of beers at a good price

Lovely friendly locals great food and the beer is amazing 👍

Sadly there for a get together following a funeral. Very generous portions for the buffet. Plenty of choices of beers.

Very nice Sunday roast definitely will be going again

Great pub. And the live bands on a Saturday evening are great.

Good food a nice atmosphere beer kept good ,, quiz night Thursday good entertainment , groups on at weekends also

Ok..was pretty much a self serve as staff were limited. Those that served were polite

Lovely staff and a nice atmosphere.

Worm and very welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and customers/locals and to top it off they sell cornish rattler on tap 🍻👍🏻

Lovely Sunday lunch,friendly staff and reasonable prices.Been twice now and not disappointed

Food wasn't great but service was fast and the waiting staff were polite.

Great food and great service and at a good price. Relaxing atmosphere.

Called in for a meal here the other night. I chose the mixed grill as you don't see it on pubs menus much these days. Word of warning if you choose this option you'd better bring your A game. It arrived on a large plate and was absolutely full. There were two Sausage, black pudding, Lamb chop Gammon, Steak, onion rings, Mushrooms and enough home made chips to feed three of us. Yes and they are HOMAMADE. A lot of pubs put homemade on their menu but they're clearly frozen, these are the real deal. I couldn't do this meal justice and was a little bit ashamed how much went back but if you can eat then the Holly Bush is for you the portions are very generous. Go on give yourself a challenge and try to eat the whole thing. Give it a go 👍👍

Stopped in for a coffee whilst on a walk and decided to have some food too. Food was all lovely and plenty of it. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.

The worst Christmas Lunch I’m afraid to say ! May have been unlucky choice from the menu but from what I could see from others choices not much better. The worst prawn cocktail ever, only one roast potato on the plate and a crème brûlée which should be reported to trading standards ! Would not recommend.

A great pub with great food. Lovely staff. Very good menu and value for money.

Delicious pie, chips and garden peas with gravy and lovely chocolate fudge cake to follow. Excellent

Great atmosphere food value for money.. beer great too

Proper pub! Really good range of drinks and nice atmosphere

First time we have been, food was excellent value, will be going there again.

Yery helpful staff food is very good

Good British food, very good value. Main courses excellent, good quality meat and other ingredients, cooked skilfully. Generous portions. Excellent value £7 or 2 people dine for £12. Desserts and puddings frozen bought ready-prepared @ £4.25. One cheesecake not fully defrosted. Nice desserts, but not...

Great live bands. Good verity of drinks n brill services

Brilliant pub. Great food, large portions. Staff lovley & couldn't be more accommodating. They was amazing with my 7 month old. Definitely recommend & would go again!

A proper pub. Good beer. Good food. Super.

Good food 😋 👌 a very lovely pub

Thanks to the Holly Bush as there was 12 in our group. Luckily the September evening was warm so we sat outside. There is plenty of seating inside and out. Good choice of beer. We will see you again.
