Holly Bush Inn in Amber Valley

I cannot recommend this pub enough, this pub is a proper pub! The food was absolutely amazing everything is freshly cooked to perfection if I must say! The staff are amazing and the whole place I’m general just give off so much cosy vibes, it’s the type of pub you want after a nice walk with the dog, so been dog friendly is a bonus too. We even bought some of the honey on sale. This is a 10/10 you definitely need to visit.

This is a classic, old country pub that you must visit. Although prices for food and drinks are slightly above average, the food quality is impeccable, the service is flawless, and the atmosphere provides a nice escape. Inside it is peaceful with old decor and different rooms to serve the atmosphere you want. For example, there are busy spots in the bar room to socialise, where as other rooms provide little hideouts to relax. The venue is nevertheless very spacious despite its age. Around the front of the bar are hot traditional snacks - pork pies, cheese pasties, etc. The food to order from the kitchen tasted great and was in generous amounts. The chips, which I thought were homemade, were delicious. They had a soft, golden skin and plenty if light and fluffy potato inside. The warm baguette was nice too. I had the mozzarella, garlic butter and roasted vegetables that was a good balance of garlic and cheese with a note of pepper. The vegetables were also cooked to a consistency that was neither too hard nor soft. Everyone else also enjoyed their meals. The staff were very polite, attentive and served us with great efficiency. The outside area captures the sun but there is also an area for shelter that accommodates a fair number of punters. It is difficult to find a car parking spot at busier times, though. I would highly recommend a visit, especially for tourists who want to experience an authentic, old, English country pub.

After reading other reviews I was looking forward to our evening meal here. The guy behind the bar was very friendly and helpful. I asked for menus but was informed us that there was no cooked food in the evenings. Ham & cheese based items being the theme. Daughter chose a standard cheese buttie. “It was okay” I had a pork pie platter. 4 different halves of pork pie. The cheese & pork and pork and the chicken & stuffing were the best I’ve tasted. Disappointed and delighted in equal measure. Perfect if you don’t want a full meal and are staying at the hotel opposite!

Entering the Holly Bush is like stepping back in time; it’s our favourite place to drink throughout the year, and especially cosy in the winter with the fire lit sat inside the nook. Superb selection of ales and cider!

Benn here today (28/05/23) for my wife’s birthday. The food is exceptional. I had a beef and onion baguette which was clearly freshly baked. My wife, mum and dad had the Sunday dinners. Not a thing left at end of dinner. Been here once before and the bar snack are amazing too. Staff are very friendly. Can’t fault the place. The parking is a bit limited but that’s life. This is on our top 5 list of places to go in Derbyshire. Plus a good selection of beers.

Haven't been here before, but having met Chris at Rail Ale we decided to have oir anniversary lunch here today. We were not disappointed: Service - very attentive & alert. Beer - great selection. Food - absolutely brilliant. Betty had the fish goujon baggette and i had Ham n Eggs. Both meals were superb in every regard. Well done Chris and your team. Jim & Betty

This is simply one of the best pubs in the country. Great cask beer selection, combined with tasty food set in an unspoilt interior means it's probably my favourite rural pub in the UK. One of those gems where you can sit and relax all day, we absolutely love it.

One of the best pubs I have visited in years, and as a regular pub goer and at 76 that says something. A cross between a look back at a better time a mini museum and possibly the biggest range of drinks anywhere ( well just an exaggeration) A very small bar with labyrinth of rooms all cosy and comfortable. The food---well I am sure many visit for the large range of beers and gins for example, but the food is a must for the visit. Straight forward spot on home cooking featuring the best of British. Warm welcome and good friendly service Parking a touch of a problem but any walk is worthwhile

Called in Easter Sunday lunchtime with a walking group for a drink, snack and rest as it has been a few years since me, personally visited and it was great to see the pub still as vibrant as ever. Staff really friendly and polite and the pub had a great selection of pork pies, sandwiches and other food. I ordered a pork pie and a couple of pints of blackcurrent squash which came to £6.80 (bearing in mind the pie was £2.20) which I thought nothing of until we carried on to Holbrook & The Dead Poets. Ordered squash again, same brand, with water and ice and it was 80p...yes 80 pence. What the hell Holly Bush, not really encouraging for drivers is it, how can you justify those costs in comparison??

We ate here on Saturday lunchtime. The food was delicious and the beer was well kept. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The seating plan is a little crowded, but that is to be expected as the pub is compact. We would highly recommend this pub for a good pub lunch or an evening meal.

Took my mother and father 85 &91 years old today and people were saying they were cold so I placed a couple of small logs on fire and the staff came and took them off

No fuss or gimmicks here just a great old fashioned pub with warming fires to greet you, a great selection of real ales to choose from and pies/cobs in case you feel peckish, what is not to love about places like this.

Our favourite place in Derbyshire. Excellent food, and real ales, thatchange all the while. We live in Lincolnshire but come often to see family and best friends, never been disappointed in a lot of years thankyou Holly bush , will be back soon

Booked a table for a romantic Sunday lunch with hubby, it was the first time we ever visited and were surprised to have to wait so long to be served a drink at the bar and no table service for drinks. The table although nice and the atmosphere lovely, we were rather perturbed to find our table joined another that had a party of 4 join. We have never dined in such close proximity to strangers and found it quite off putting, so perhaps the website should explain this and the fact the parking in chronic shortage for such a rural 'off the beaten track' pub. We got there early and went for a walk as advised but lucky to get a parking space in the same street as the pub. That said the food was okay, my roast beef tough and roast spuds as hard as bullets, but hubby's salad good. The staff were polite professional and friendly and we enjoyed the unique experience of such a historic pub. Although we loved the actual pub we won't be returning until the parking situation resolved, it is especially too much of a risk taking elderly relatives etc there that would require disabled parking etc

Fantastic pub , came away for a short break at the hotel opposite, this pub is a real gem great selection of real ale’s and scotch eggs that my husband would die for! The gentleman behind the bar was very welcoming and a great host with a open fire the afternoon was extremely enjoyable would highly recommend a visits if you like a proper pub! We will definitely be back when we can next get down your way.

After a nice walk the Holly Bush is just the place for a nice lunch with friendly staff . The atmosphere is friendly, the service is brilliant and the pub is gorgeous.

We visited here to meet my parents for lunch. It is always going to be a popular choice for them as they now have Maisie the dog and this place is dog friendly and on one of their walking routes. The parking situation isn't the...

Old and full of character, cosy small bar with 'hatch' to external covered area, another area behind the bar and eating area. Excellent selection of real ales.

Very nice food and beer, and really excellent service. Only minus point being the inconsistent portion sizes. Some really generous, some ok (but quite a bit smaller- which caused a bit of lunch envy) and on this occasion one a tad too small. I realise...

Very good service from Amy, came in for a quiet drink and ended up staying for the great atmosphere. I hope I have the opportunity to return soon!

Very pleasant beers & ciders for the beer festival. Not eating today, but have enjoyed good food and pork pies on previous visits

Great food, friendly and quick service. The burgers are amazing, the baguette pulled pork so yummy. Loved everything

If you like to wait over 20 minutes for a drink that has the consistency of rainwater then this is your place. Lots of staff, doing very little. One girl actually let out a long sigh when I complained about my pint. There are better...

Dreadful service! Visited twice and both times had to wait half an hour for our drinks. What a shame as the building is fab and the food looked amazing. In the end walked to the The spotted cow where the food and service were brilliant..

Like many other reviewers, we have been coming up to the Holly Bush for several years, often at the request of friends/visitors from 'down south' who have always loved the atmosphere, the beer and the lovely food. The last couple of visits have been a...

Just off the A6 South of Belper, the Holly Bush is a wonderfully traditional and quaint pub with socially distanced seating inside and out. Parking can be a bit of a challenge on the narrow lanes nearby. Covid precautions are very good with table service...

Came here with my family as i had heard rave reviews.We ordered the chicken and stuffing share platter, and the portion was tiny.Almost £10 for 5 small chicken goujons and 6 one inch cubes of stuffing, a hand full of leaves and sauces.I understand that we went on a 50% eat out to help out day, but still we have had starters bigger than this.After complaining we was given another 5 goujons and stuffing, but £10 is over priced and not enough for 2 people.The rest of our party had a lovely fish and chips and roast beef dinner and the portions was generous.Over all ruined our visit.We will not be visiting again.

I called in for a pint and a pork pie shortly after the July 4 reopening, a little bit apprehensive due to Covid-19. I should not have worried. Every precaution was in place, name and phone number taken, table service and plenty of sanitising. The friendly and professional staff did everything to provide a safe environment with a smile on their faces, even through a protective mask And the beer was in first class form as always. Well done the Holly Bush for showing how it should be done

I am disappointed to say that the service I received from 2 members of staff here was unacceptable; one of whom claimed to be the manager. I stood waiting to pay a tab at the bar for several minutes and was totally ignored by the girl serving other people and when she had finished serving them, she wandered off. A man then appeared on the bar who was equally as rude to me and did not apologise for the wait or for the fact the girl had walked off. He then bluntly said ‘name’ to me when asking which tab it was for. I rang the pub to complain after I left and the ‘manager’ was totally unconcerned on the phone and clearly did not see any issue whatsoever. They don’t value good customer service. Also way over priced - £7.30 for a pint and a half of ale. Would not recommend.

Visited on two consecutive days. Lots of different beers to choose from. Steeped in history. Look forward to visiting again in the future

Very good for real ales and ciders, cold snakes are OK but need something like a toastie. Gets very full at times and parking can be awkward.

The Holly Bush Inn is a rustic traditional pub in Makeney/Milford/Belper that is one of the mainstays of any pub crawl between Derby and Belper (Belper has an alarmingly high number of good and great pubs for such a small town). The fairly cluttered layout identifies it as a historic pub, there are several designated areas so it won't get *too* loud even when busy [which it mostly is in the evenings]. Good food, wide variety of real ales and ciders on tap (large rather than particularly distinguished on my visit), good atmosphere. It's a 10 minute walk from the nearest bus station in Milford, a little remote and easy to miss (God bless Google Maps!). Very popular with the locals. There are several good pubs within a short radius (this one, the Strutt-on-Arms & the King Williams IV). Get a zig-zag ticket on the Sixes buses from Derby so you can hop on and off at the various stops of your crawl.

This pub I discovered by accident by seeing the sign down the lane, I am so glad I did, I keep coming back for more beers the fires give a really nice atmosphere to the place, the conservatory is also heated so you can sit in a nice warm and bright area. The food looks and smells delicious, but so far I have only sampled the pies at the bar, I am sure I will eventually dine here. It is a nice place to bring your partner to after a country walk, or on a drive during a wet and windy day. Plenty of old-world charm, it has not lost its character in any way.

We booked in for the Italian Night tonight (Thursday) at the Bush. Pub was busy but not surprised as absolutely fabulous meal, each course was a real gastronomic delight. The creamy chicken tagliatelle was the best I have ever had. We recently went to Gordon Ramsey's restaurant in London and I kid you not...this was as good. Excellent work.

Fab little pub, a proper pub. Always have real ales on, only do food at lunchtime. Pork stuffing and applesauce cons with chips and gravy is delicious! You can walk Over the hills to Belper easily within an hour and lovely views.

This is a 17th Century Inn tucked away in Makeney. Reputedly frequented by Dick Turpin - the Highwayman.Lots of interesting beers on tap to try, along with a tasty food menu which is served daily until 15:00.The pub car park is fairly small so I would recommend parking on a side road, at the bottom of the hill. The pub is just a short walk up the hill so not a great distance.

The Holly Bush is one of the most quaint and original pubs going, with an excellent range of real and keg ales. We visited for Christmas lunch as a large pre-booked group choosing from a good range of dishes, both traditional and some a little different to the normal Christmas fare. Our food was good, with generous portion sizes.Service was excellent, both friendly and efficient. Our meal was fairly good value, all things considered. Car parking is very limited, including the narrow surrounding lanes.

we always enjoy the Holly Bush, the beer, the atmosphere and the surroundings are all great, especially the real fires in winter.

Great place. Historic. Great ambience. Great food and beer. Parking a bit difficult due to its location but well worth any effort.

Cosy atmosphere in a very old pub. Excellent pub food. Thoroughly enjoyed and will go again as is convenient to meet family.

Amazing food and drink. Regularly come in for the table football and an ice cream. Amazing friendly staff especially Lucy, she is very friendly. What a beautiful place the holly bush is I go every Friday and Saturday. Keep up the good work!!

Visited with family and friends on a Saturday afternoon. We’d pre booked a table . The pub is fantastic,, it’s like stepping back in time. Very olde world , stone floors, roaring fires dark wood.. The food we had was lovely ,I had a pork baguette with stuffing , and chunky chips, delicious,everyone’s food was yummy. The pub has two sittings, so our table was time limited . Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area ..

Go here a lot, its an ideal place for lunch in the middle of a walk. It's what a pub should be, interesting layout, not prissy, and a room at the back which is ideal for damp walkers and soggy dogs. Dogs also welcome in other areas. Staff pleasant and efficient, beer wonderful, always an interesting range, food very good. And no bloody piped muzak!

I ordered a plain burger, when it came it had cheese in it. I sent it back it came out again with cheese in still I looked inside it had a fly in it right in the cheese, when I showed my waitress this she said they would make a new one, because this whole process had took nearly 2 hrs. Visit 2017

We paid a visit to our this lovely little gem for an early dinner. We watched the food coming put of the kitchen with interest having heard that there was a new chef cooking that night. What a difference to our last visit! The food looked fab! No burnt offering chips!

If this pub was in my village I’d go all the while unfortunately it’s 30 miles from my home but whenever we’re passing we call in.

Sad to say this lovely pub has massively gone downhill in the last two or more years. We discovered it seven years ago and used to go there regularly for Sunday lunch. The food was always excellent. The food came out of the kitchen really quickly - the meat, whatever it was was superb, with fresh and perfectly cooked vegetables and piping hot gravy. Then a couple of years ago we went and despite being the only people in there at 12 noon we had to wait 40 minutes for our meal, which at its best was indifferent and lukewarm. We didn't go back again until today as we were going to visit an open garden nearby and thought we would give it another try. We had booked for 12 noon and arrived and ordered two roast dinners just before 12. We got our food at 12.40 despite there only being one other table occupied in the restaurant. The food came on cold plates and the vegetables were also cold. This didn't surprise me because the waiter came out before with two roast dinners and then disappeared again. For some reason they had gone back to the kitchen and had not been kept warm. The roast potatoes were just lumps of potato without any crispiness at all. My friend had the roast lamb which was two-thirds fat. My roast dinner came with jackfruit instead of meat. I had never tried jackfruit before and now I still don't know what it is like as it was SO salty that is all you could taste. The Yorkshire pudding really needed a steak knife to cut it. People on the table next to us who came in a few minutes after us had to wait longer for their meal and were also very disappointed with it and said they wouldn't come again. Then to cap it all when we came to pay we were told it was 50p extra - this turned out to be for the gluten free element of my friend's meal. We didn't see anything to this effect on the menu and my friend, who eats out regularly, has never ever been charged extra for gluten free food before. It was only when we said she hadn't been able to eat her Yorkshire puddings because they were burned that they took the 50p off.

Open fires... sunshine... friendly staff.. real ales... birra moretti... dog friendly.. favourite place in the world to come and relax.. on point 💯%

If you like pies, then this is place to try them. Available all day as snacks (Huge pie) or you can eat of the main menu but only up until 2.30pm daily

We regularly stop here for food whilst walking in Belper. It is a good little pub and definitely worth a visit.

We were determined to seek this pub out and were glad that we did. We cannot add more than has already been said by others. A real pub with real beer in the old fashioned way. Nooks and crannies everywhere and even an old fashioned Snug with a working Range fire which they apparently use in the winter. It looks quite small from the front but you will be surprised when you enter the premises. They have a good selection of Real Ales and a chalk board of Guest Ales which continually change. It is full of regulars all prepared to chat. We ended up being last out of the premises having had a most enjoyable discussion with the Owner who has been there for 9 years. Parking can be challenging though but persevere.

Stopped by here for a bite while grandparents watched the kids. Always good warming fire and good ale from the jug. Had the baguettes which are full and filling

Real beers, real people, really old charming charismatic warming atmosphere, real open fires that tuck you up on a cold and wet afternoon. Dog friendly, family friendly little piece of heaven 😍

A nice olde worlde pub with lots of little rooms and good outside seating. Great selection of ales and ciders and friendly staff. Only downside is that only cold snacks are available in the evenings.

Wonderful old PUB, full of character, good Ale, Good Food, Excellent Staff. It really is like a walk back in time. Wonderful 'old decor and memorability' We went in the evening knowing that they only do 'Bar Food' The restaurant is only open at lunch times. The Bar Food is Unbelievable, Excellent, Marvellous, need I say any more. 'CRACKING'

On a quiet back lane, and with some outside space and several small bars inside, this pub brought back memories of country pubs in the 60's!

My husband and I visited for the second time whilst on holiday in the area and had a delicious Sunday dinner. This place is fascinating and full of history! The staff are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble especially Brianna and Beth. It is such a popular place you are well advised to book if wishing to dine here. The Holly Bush Inn is an absolute credit to the brilliant couple who own and run it! We will be back!

To say it was chaotic here was an understatement. It was extremely busy on this Saturday afternoon. This is fair enough as the pub is extremely popular with locals and visitors. It took an eternity to get served and the staff were struggling to cope, with many of the food orders getting mixed up.

We stopped in here on the recommendation of quite a few people we had spoken to during our stay. It was a pleasant visit, the beer was very good and the pies and cheese excellent. Be warned though it gets very busy as it is a very popular place.

Called in here here for a drink before going back to the Makeney Hall Hotel.

We have been here a number of times while staying with friends and love it every time. Their selection of fruity ciders are my favourite. I love the little conservatory area with the little window bar.

If you want to go to an English pub ... go to this one

I visited the holly bush inn for the first time recently whilst out walking with my Mum and Dad. It is a quirky and characterful 17th century village inn complete with open fires.

Quaint, felt like we stepped back in time, two roaring fires which was cosy, beams, and friendly staff. Quite a climb up the narrow lanes but worth a visit

We were staying with friends at Makeney Hall for the weekend, and walked up the hill to the Holly Bush. What a Great traditional pub.

Gins in profusion as well as other alchoholic beverages but little in way of food - no meals , snacks and pies. Great pub atmosphere with many hooks and crannies and open fires. Very busy arround 5.45pm but relatively quiet at 7.15. Pub for locals as well as visitors. Opportunity to try new drinks before going on to find a meal elsewhere

What a beautiful pub, dog freindly, lovely staff, locals seem freindly to! ..Aside from the vast ales on offer and lager etc.. The pork pies, sandwiches and cheese board available are devine, reasonably priced, fresh and tasty, they do hot food but only wanted a light ish meal.. But they get busy over Fri to Sun.. (booking highly recommended) With Mon to Thurs been a little quieter.. And some themed nights I noticed.. Ie steak and fish were 2 of the ones coming up... It's a 17th century Inn.. With a decor unchanged much.. I found it quaint and homely and loved the open fires in the larger of the 2 rooms.. There's even a little snug!! With a fire in!!.. Would visit again and highly recommend anyone staying at Makeney Hall to walk down to it as its a very short distance from there .

Get to go here with the lads for a night out drinking, once in a while. This pub specialises in all sortshapes of real alert and cider . A must visit place if you like real ales . Has a nice atmosphere too. Parking can be a bit tight when it's busy .

Love this pub. Great food, great beer and great atmosphere. The pub itself is lovely to wander around and look at all of the stuff on the walls. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

What a gem of a place tucked away in a small vilkage but well worth the effort. Friendly staff who were more than happy to talk about the area. We visited in January,such a warm welcome with real fires blazing in all the little rooms. Food and real ale was delicious.

Just absolutely amazing from start to finish. I met Natalie who was extremely helpful through the whole planning process.

Visited with friends for a Xmas drink, very cosy place to go for a pint or two, lovely atmosphere and pleasant surround, great staff with excellent choices of alcohol, well worth a pint or tow.

Beautiful stone built pub in small village in Derbyshire split into several small cosy rooms great food and choice of ten beers their biannual beer festivals are legendry.

Lovely pub this, been a few times now and have yet to be disappointed by the great choice of well kept beers.

My husband & I took my elderly father-in-law here for lunch on a Saturday. It was very busy and quite hard to find a table, but we eventually found a suitable place to sit. We had the Sunday roast. The food was fine but not exceptional. The service was slow but I think this is because it was so busy. We would consider going back, but probably on a week day to avoid the crowds.

Having stopped here several times with my dad, we always (if available) have one of there pork pies.

When ordering 2 drinks I then ordered another one to which the staff seemed angry and frustrated! Going for ward make sure that you have your full order ready as they don’t take nicely to adding to the order.

Friendly staff and good food make this a pub not to be missed. The open fire added to the cosy feel of the place.

Visited the Holly Bush on a Sunday afternoon with friends and our dog. The pub was very cosy with lots of quirky little rooms, each with a real log fire. The beer was excellent and although we didn’t eat, the food looked lovely! Can’t wait to go back!

We called in for a drink on a Sunday night prior to having dinner at our hotel nearby. What a lovely local! I had a pint of their Marston's Pedigree which was beautifully kept. My wife was delighted to find some unusual real ciders and perries, including a pear and chilli one. The staff were friendly and helpful too.

We were staying just down the road in a local hotel so just had a little drink before our dinner. Very quirky little pub with some great ciders to sample and also they looked like they had some amazing pork pies to purchase. Its quite tight inside so we sat in the outdoor space which had some games to play and a kids area. A very nice pub to enjoy time with family and loved ones.
