Excellent food enjoyed by all in our party. However, less than impressed with the customer service experienced from the landlady. On arrival she could clearly see that we were getting a disabled man out of the car so parked to get him out before pulling fully into the parking bay, only to be told that we had to pull in, clearly obvious that we were going to do that. Once inside she asked if she could get us any drinks as we were still walking in, this did not create a relaxed atmosphere. The pub has a lovely atmosphere and serves delicious food,so why does the landlady not smile and be more friendly?

The food was brilliant, superb size portions, all well cooked and lovingly presented. Staff were attentive and very helpful, even with a couple of demanding and indecisive diners in our party! Allergies were well catered for from an promoted perspective rather than having to ask and dishes having to be checked with the chef.

Came here as we stay in the area regularly and usually come for lunch, which is always very nice, but as it was our wedding anniversary, we decided on an evening meal. We always find the pub to be very welcoming and friendly. There were 2 waitresses, the one being more friendly than the other. As vegetarians, we were limited to the few choices they had on offer. We had starters and a main each. My husband said his soup starter was very nice, but my goats cheese starter was bland and appeared to be straight out the freezer pre-made rubbish. We both opted for the mushroom stroganoff, which again, must be brought in, because if the chef or who ever buys it in tasted it, they would realise it was too acidic and vinegary tasting. Not appealing at all. We really didn't enjoy it and there was no point in sending it back as that was all they had on the menu that we would have enjoyed. This is a super village pub, maybe we were just unlucky that night, because as I said, our food is usually lovely. But as a result of our experience, when we were hoping for a 'special night' I don't think we would come here for an evening meal again.

We have just moved to the area so thought we should visit the local pub to see what it was like and also we wanted to test it before my parents were due to arrive the following weekend and the plan was if it was great we would take them there. It was great! The food was amazing, I've been to some top quality restaurants and the food here was equal, brilliant, faultless. Both my hubby and I loved our starter, main and dessert. The service was a little slow at times but we were in no rush. The pub was quiet when we arrive which was early evening but the bar area (separate to the restaurant area) was heaving when we left. Had to pay at the bar instead of at the table but that was no issue. We had decided this was a fab place to bring mum and dad but were advised we couldn't book a table as there was a party the following weekend, disappointed but means mum and dad have to come again so we can let the experience the amazing food.

I followed that with Loin of Pork in a wholemeal mustard sauce and apple sauce served on a bed of red cabbage. The vegetables were included in the price and consisted of roast and new potatoes., cabbage, carrots and broccoli. My partner had home-made pate, followed by roast beef and Yorkshire pudding...again delicious and melt in the mouth perfectly cooked beef!!!The desserts were home made also ..I had treacle sponge and custard and my partner had banoffee tart.It was a superb meal and we shall most certainly return when next in the area.

Pre-booked for a Christmas lunch with the family. It was pretty busy but the food was okay. I was getting more annoyed that my dishes were turning up before they had actually cleared the table.Some staff were exceptional others lazy. Wouldn't go back in a rush.

Freshly cooked food done with care and imagination. I had a slight twist on the usual pub food, a meal with a very different combination of flavours that complimented each part of the meal, and was totally delicious.Really worth a visit, to a cosy olde worlde pub with great food.

So another Saturday morning comes around, a rainy one, like more rain than you could shake a stick at (whatever that means). But despite the weather I was feeling surprisingly well and in an oddly adventurous mood. A friend and I decided to venture into the secluded little village of Church Broughton for a bite to eat and we were pleasantly surprised. The Holly Bush is a cracking little pub, pedigree was bob-on and the interior is warm and welcoming. Friendly bar staff so can't really complain thus far. There's a separate room for the restaurant, however we sat in the bar and ordered our lunch. Diverse menu, specials board, what more could you want? The music playlist was appropriate with it being during the festive period - plenty of Michael Bublè to set the mood, what a beautiful man and what a beautiful voice. There's an open fire so it's toasty, gives it sort of a homey feeling. Somewhere you could definitely bring your Nan. Anyway I'm rambling, onto the food. I had the fish chips and seriously I don't know where they found this fish. The size of the thing was a joke, nonetheless it was very tasty with crispy batter and a great range of condiments. My mate had the vegetarian risotto and he informed me that was also a top choice, so hats off to the chef. I'd happily return, can't really find any gripes about the place. Doing it right here lads, keep it up.

Four of us dined here from the Christmas menu on Sunday. We all agreed that the quality and presentation of the food was excellent. As you would expect at this time of year the restaurant was fully booked but the service was just right and the atmosphere was relaxed. You will be lucky to get in this side of Christmas but do give it a try next year. Sadly we are emigrating in February and we shall certainly miss 'The Bush'.

10 of us celebrated our Christmas Party at the Hollybush Church Broughton Derbyshire on Dec 11th 2015.The atmosphere was lovely and staff were super helpful. The food was excellent, the belly pork main was the best I have had anywhere. The vegetables were excellent ....not a single soggy sprout in sight !Well done Hollybush...highly recommended.

First time eating here in a while. Won’t be bothering again. Poor food: the chicken was like rope. Much better eateries in the area at a more reasonable price.

Attended private function pre ordered Indian 2 course meal. When we came to be served they had run out of many items and the food served was cold . We were then charged £15 each for a meal which fell well short of what we ordered. Why ask you to pre order. Picked up a meal on the way home hate being ripped off.

Ordered the chicken madras curry, tasted like tomato and onion no curry taste what so ever could have fed it to my 2yr old. Rice was a cloggy lump needed rinsing to remove the starch. Nann bread was smaller than the top of a small cob pitta bread 5 times bigger and to top that burnt black on one side. No one asked if the meal was ok. Too say was pissed off would be a under statement. Wouldn't recommend the food to anyone

The hosts are both very nice,The buildings have plenty of character.The menu is basic but fairly priced.Parking is good. Two problems arose during the stay.Most importantly was that the shower was not working correctly and was not providing hot water.The hot water at the basin was tepid at best.The shower issue was raised with the proprietor. Surprisingly, even though we were booked for a second night, no offer was made to repair / change rooms / reduce the room charge, not even a complimentary drink. Simply, a "thank you for telling us'. Also the wifi in the room had a very unreliable signalled was virtually unusable. Shame because this is a really lovely location and the owners are nice but these were very genuine issues. No hot water in January! Things go wrong sometimes, that's life but the paying customers concerns should have been addressed.
