If you want a massive fight, drug dealing,filth then this is the place for you. By the way make sure you have protective clothing on as when you arrive home you end up smelling like you have been living in the jungle in Peru under a tent & making whacky all day & night.... Please stay away from there. SWP are trying to shut it down.

Been to this pub many times over the years and it's now my local. New management and staff are much more polite than the previous. Beer is good as beer always is and fairly priced. Food is lovely and has improved week on week so I have high hopes for them. Also nice that you can get freshly ground, freshly brewed coffee for £2 a cup. Nice. Happy to have this as my local pub

We visited the Hollybush for a group Christmas dinner last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was cooked very well and served on warm plates ( where appropriate ) by a lovely waitress who joined n the atmosphere of Christmas. The only criticism I would make was the service, absolutely no fault of the waitress, it was because there were not enough staff given it is that time of the year when such places are extra busy. That said we enjoyed our evening. I must mention the decorations at the Hollybush too, absolutely first class!!!

Visited the Hollybush for Sunday Lunch on Mothers Day and we were all really impressed. There was a good choice of meat (Lamb, Beef, Turkey, Pork or Gammon) and a vast quantity and variety of well prepared vegetables. The service was extremely quick and friendly, all of the food was hot and tasty, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I would highly recommend eating here and we will certainly be back soon.

I visited here for Sunday dinner. We were a party of 11 (8 adults & 3 kids) The food was served promptly and hot...! There is a kids corner for the children to colour and play while waiting for the food to arrive. There was plenty of food for us all and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend for a local family Sunday dinner.

A group of us twenty ladies met at The Hollybush just recently for our Christmas dinner and really enjoyed ourselves. We pre-ordered our meals to make it easier for the kitchen staff and we all had what we ordered so no mix ups, the only thing that could have been better would have been if the vegetables could have been brought out at the same time as the entree. Some of us had to wait a while for the veg which meant our food was going cold. I think a few more waiting staff wouldn't go amiss as the two waitresses were working hard to satisfy other diners beside us. That said all our meals were very tasty, the desserts too were lovely. Not having been to The Hollybush before I would have no hesitation returning after dining here for our Christmas dinner.

What a lovely place. Interior decor is charming, clean and cosy. The food was excellent, we had the ham, egg and chips and was told the ham was melt in the mouth. I had the lamb shank with creamy, mash potatoes, peas and mint gravy and was falling off the bone. This will definitely become a regular

There was 15 of us who were out for a family meal,pub looks better inside as first impressions from the outside is run-down.out of what we all ate,gammon was fine,scampi was ok but tartar sauce wasn't the best,the steaks seemed fine but we've had bigger in other pubs.loads of chips and peas.outside smoking area had only 1 ashtray between all the tables that was crammed full,and one of our party waited 20 minutes for a drink.needs some improvements,won't be going back in a hurry.

Mi marido y yo notamos la oferta de carne y una botella de vino para dos y decidí probarlo. El lugar estaba muy limpio y algunas mesas disponibles. Pedimos la comida que salió muy rápidamente y todavía estaba frita, que era genial. La comida fue excelente y el bistec fue preparado muy bien. Teníamos el vino de shiraz, que era agradable y tranquilo.

He estado aquí en cuatro ocasiones con mi familia para la comida y cada vez que he rechazado sin una buena razón. El sábado pasado, me dijeron que no podía servir comida, ya tenían una gran fiesta ahí al día siguiente - loco! !

El almuerzo de domingo. Buenas porciones. Variedad de carnes. Sabroso. Buen servicio. Gran relación calidad-precio. (6,95 libras por cabeza.) P entorno agradable. Limpio. Una y única crítica es que las comidas no eran lo suficientemente calientes, pero estoy seguro de que se puede superar fácilmente. Thatcher Gold también! Ah. :-)

Yo vivo muy cerca de este pub. Es desagradable y no es un buen lugar para ir si estás un extraño. Los propietarios y el personal son groseros. La comida es barata pero no alegre. Es un lugar para borrachos

Called in on the off chance as we usually go for Sunday lunch (which we always found was great) two steaks proper home cut chips all the trimmings and pepper sauce. Cooked as I liked it. Excellent value for money and tasty food. Worth a visit.

The pub is much nicer inside than out. The food was traditional pub fodder of excellent volume and choice. My children had jacket potato cheese and beans, lasagne and chips and fish and chips all were enjoyed although the wait was slightly longer than we anticipated. The bar service were excellent and very helpful and polite. Will definitely return.

First visit to this place and first impressions were that the outside looked a little tired. However inside they have obviously done a lot of work and the restaurant is very nice. After sitting in the restaurant waiting for someone to come and take our order what I did not realise is that you order at the bar! Ordered the surf and turf which was steak and scampi. Scampi was delicious but steak was a little fatty. Every time you wanted a drink you had to go to the bar which I would not expect to do in a restaurant. Did not bother ordering a dessert as could not be bothered to go back to the bar.To sum up it was ok but it's pub grub trying to be a restaurant.

My family did not enjoy this experience, booked 2 weeks in advance, for Sunday lunch, but must admit we arrived 30 minutes after the arranged time, Perhaps this was the reason they had run out of veg choices, no pork, and no lamb. The gravy was watery the staff were very attentive, and apologetic, however they did not make up for the meal.! the size of our party, may not have help, in making up my review.

We usually have a Saturday breakfast locally and as the Holly had started doing breakfast we decide to give it a try. We were glad we did. £4.95 regular breakfast consisted of 2 fried eggs, 2 bacon rashers, 2 sausages, mushrooms, black pudding, baked beans, hash brown and tomatoes tinned or fried plus toast and complimentary tea or coffee. Best breakfast we have had for a long time and right on our doorstep We will definitely be back

Went here for Sunday lunch. Cant rate this pub, 8 people dined. on the menu was a choice of 4 meats, but when we placed our order they had run out of pork, down to 3 meats. ordered the mix of 3 meats and paid extra. then we were told they had run out of lamb. Now down to 2 meats, they didn't offer any refund so we thought we would get extra meat .no such luck. Food arrived, a dish full of peas and a dish full of cabbage and that was it. I asked if there were any carrots, sorry , run out I was told. a choice of 2 veg, yippee .Kids meal came with ice cream so we ordered strawberry sauce over the ice cream. surprise surprise it came with chocolate sauce. It was exchanged after taking it back to the bar staff. The 1st ones came with 2 big scoops and a biscuit on top , after sending them back they arrived minus the biscuits and half the amount of ice cream. definitely would never go back and wouldn't recommend this place to any one . No stars.

The food is above the average pub grub and there is plenty of choice and a good range of beers. Sunday lunch is really good and it's value for money. recently refurbished lounge is comfortable.

Had a groupon for 4 of us for this eating experience. Enjoyed the food at the money off price but there are more comfortable eating places i'd have to say at the same sort of price. Felt a little odd walking through the bar to get to the seating, more of a pub and less of a restaurant in that way where the 'regulars' looked askance at 'non regulars' as they passed. The chicken 'boulders' were tasty, something a little bit different there but the usual pub fare otherwise. The steaks were fine too. Not the largest portions for the money at full price perhaps. Not a huge range of ales as opposed to lager. Your average village type pub all in all with a small restaurant at the back seating about 40 perhaps. Nice enough for a bite to eat and ok for comfort. Would i go again, have to say probably not because there are better places.

Had breakfast at Porkys in The new penny farthing. It was fantastic all quality products. The breakfast was great. Loved the door stop toast, bacon and sausage was very good. Service was excellent. People might say it’s expensive, but you have to pay for quality. Will definitely be back.

First time at the potting shed. Excellent service and good food. Everything was prepared freshly. Had the pot of coffee as this was the only coffee on offer. It did not disappoint at all. Will certainly return. The gift shop was an added bonus .
