The Hollins Bush in Bury

We visited this pub and received shopping treatment from the landlady who was rude and complaint about the noise We were happy as we had been to Salford rugby and had a great day We spent over 40.00 But she still complaint We called a couple taxi and went to another pub that was happier to receive happier customers x

Ventured out after being tucked away with my daughter during lockdown, what a shambles this place is, no organisation, absolutely rude staff which later found out was management!! Heard them swearing and making racist comments and mocking customers, totally upset at our first experience out , shall never go back ,

I live a few minutes walk from this pub and have visited it 20/30 times in last year or so , I work on building sites so industrial language is my normal work talk , however on Saturdays and Sundays when I am out with my Wife , Daughters and Grandaughter I don’t expect to have to put up with a horrible little dwarf at the bar using the eff word in every sentence in a very loud voice , the land lady and landlord don’t seem to find it offensive maybe we have different standards ? Or maybe I’m sober and they are not ? Today on the advice of my wife we chose to leave the pub before I had finished my first drink , That or throw the dwarf over the bar Is that still a sport ? We won’t come back which is such a shame as we live minutes away We work very hard for our money but if I want to hear obnoxious men using terrible language I will stay at work and get paid Pub itself has tremendous potential as it’s a great area with good hard working people looking to spend money But until the landlord and landlady sober up and sort the clicky customers out the pub won’t survive Such a shame

We visited here tonite for a midweek tea ! My husband ordered the gammon and it was lovely, beautifully presented , well cooked , served with chips. Mushrooms, peas and tomatoes. No complaints there. I decided on the healthy option of a salad. A new choice was haloumi and chick pea ! Sounded lush ! It looked very nice on t h e plate, however , it was a selection of salad leaves, a tomato , slices of cucumber , but the main event was paltry !! I reckon one slice of haloumi cut into cubes and a sprinkling of chick peas . I'm sorry , but for £9.25 this was not acceptable .

I held my 40th birthday celebrations here last Saturday evening with family and friends. Judith the landlady along with her fabulous staff were so lovely and honestly couldn't do enough for us. The food was wonderful, myself and all my guests had a fantastic evening. Guests commented throughout the night on how lovely the pub and the staff were along with the food. So thank you for making my birthday celebrations even more special. We'll be back and we highly recommended anyone to try here x

Had a lovely meal here on Tuesday, amazing food and lovely service! Duck spring rolls were the best bit. Will defiantly be here again soon👍🏼

I had a great time and meal on Sunday afternoon with a group of 21. I choose from the xmas menu and I could highly recommend the duck spring rolls and the lamb shanks . The food was nice and fresh a nice change from the normal miro wave pub grub.The staff were very friendly and everyone had a very pleasant afternoon .

Lovely meal in the Hollins Bush tonight. All food cooked to perfection and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Will be back soon!!

Visited the Hollins Bush tonight as a group of 20 The service and food was great, all starters out on time followed by mains without any delay. Lots of negative comments posted about le boosh don’t believe all of them, some people who cock things up themselves would rather blame the establishment!! Great staff as many have said before. Don’t let the negative put you off.

Food is over priced and second rate. Expect to wait an hour to be served. Manager's attitude is "If you don't like it, there's the door". Many of the locals thought that it would be a great asset to the village when the Hollins Bush was refurbished and started serving food 15 months ago. It started off well although it had 'teething' problems but it has had long enough to get its act together. The manager needs to retire before she runs this lovely little pub into the ground. The only good thing about this pub is the lovely, friendly, apologetic staff.

Absolutely awful experience tonight at The Bush in Hollins Bury tonight. I have never left a bad review for any establishment as to be fair I believe every restaurant has its off days, however tonight i have no option but to say it how it was. We arrived at the Hollins Bush this evening at 17:45 and ordered a meal for 4 of us. We paid for our meals and waited patiently for our meals to arrive,, by 18:30 nothing had arrived,, no starters nothing. At 18:45 (1hr later) my daughter's Nuggets and beans arrived,, albeit i had ordered nuggets and chips!! The meal was quickly taken back and came back at 19:00 with chips!! 1hr 15mins later and we get one meal. So its now 19:00 and still we were still waiting for our starters,, at this point i complained to the landlady. During my complaint I noticed our starters arriving so basically told her i was unhappy with the service but as the food had arrived i was going to rejoin my family. I arrived back at the table,, 2 starters had arrived. I had ordered breaded mushrooms but mushrooms, pancetta and cheese had arrived!! Wrong order after 1hr 30mins. So its now 19:15 and we’ve basically had 1 starter and one child's meal. I spoke again to the landlady and I have never experienced again anything like it,, no apologies, no explanations she just basically sat there drinking wine and said ‘You were a walk in so you should expect to wait’ i have had bookings tonight and they take priority’ the place was 2/3 empty!! At no point was i told that i wouldn’t be a priority and I would have a wait. The whole experience was awful, i left at 19:30 and still at this point no mains had arrived. Its such a shame i have to leave this review for our local pub but after tonights experience i feel i owe it to our local community to share my experience tonight. I will not be re visiting!! Such a shame,,

Always good food and staff who are brilliant, they always welcome you with a smile and there is always a good feeling in the pub.

Use this pub a few times a month always a good atmosphere and always find the landlord and landlady as well as the staff very pleasant.

I visited a couple of weeks ago with a friend for a light lunch . We sat in the garden. Madeline served us for drinks and took our order . She was absolutely lovely and couldn’t do enough for us . She is superb at front of house . Dan the chef was outstanding. The food was fresh and delicious. Homemade coleslaw was delicious. We were really impressed with the service and attention to detail. Totally deserve the 5 stars . A lovely pub !

Came to the Hollins Bush for a meal with my friend. Have been really impressed with it since it reopened and have recommended it to friends. Tonight, our meal was really disappointing. Mashed potato tasted like washing up liquid. I explained this to the waitresses, who said they would let the chef know. I would go back for drinks but I am so disappointed with the food after being so excited with the refurb! After letting the chef know you would expect some sort of dialect regarding the food.

This place is walking distance from home and we've been meaning to go in for ages so we popped in around 1pm on a weekday. The senior citizen deal was brill for my parents. I loved the chicken curry. Friendly helpful waitress. We will definitely be back soon thank you.

Many years ago my Aunt & Uncle tan this pub. It was your standard British Pub. The transformation has done wonders for this place! It looks brilliant inside and is welcoming with friendly and helpful staff. The food is nice and very well presented.

Came in last Friday to be greeted by the most wonderful young bar staff. good stuff!! Had a few guinnes and the bar man even put a shamrock on there 😍😍😍

Visited for a spot of lunch and to say I was blown away by the events that occurred during my visit would be an understatement! Once I had ordered my food I was sat waiting for my lunch next minute the landlady storms in the kitchen screaming and shouting and aloft of swearing God knows what the poor chef had done! Then to my surprise comes back into the bar area and continues to shout abusive language at the kitchen! In front of bewildered customers! And very young children!Meanwhile the landlord just stands at the bar with a smile on his face while she does this?! Unbelievable.....the food was ok nothing to right home about but I can honestly say they have lost a couple of customers in us and we will not be back while she is landlady!

Visited the Hollins Bush with a friend for a girlie catch up. The pub is lovely . The landlord & landlady very welcoming and friendly.

I have been here on a number of occasions with my husband and our two children. Every time we have been in, the landlady has been sat drinking and making disgusting comments about both customers and staff! I have never met such a vile woman, and will definitely not be returning!

Lovely Sunday roast at our local. Food delicious great company . Judith the landlady is a star ⭐️ We always enjoy our time here with local people from Unsworth .

Still got a good local village pub atmosphere, serving good pub meals at a reasonable price. Nice well kept beer garden

Used to love this little pub but the past few times I’ve been the land lady has been rude and made us feel uncomfortable. Would definitely rather go to the Queen Anne down the road much nicer vibe! My opinion!

Most of the food is a microwave job and forever running out of options. Normally go with a couple of friends on an evening but getting sick and tired of being thrown out when the landlady/landlord rolls out of bed hungover from the 20 pints they’ve dipped that evening. No shout for last orders so end up leaving full drinks. Annoying.

The refurbishment of this pub is amazing, the beer garden is also excellent when the weather is nice.

Really nice local pub, such an awful shame the landlady has the worst attitude I’ve ever come across in my entire existence. She needs to reshuffle her priorities and instead of drinking herself to oblivion think about how she can provide an acceptable level of customer service. Awful awful shame, she ruins the pub.

What can I say. I've been a resident in Hollins for 30 years. Re-furbishment was outstanding.

As someone who now regularly attends this pub, there isn’t a pub I’d rather go to with my friends on some occasions I’ve taken my family both of which enjoy. The staff and everyone inside are friendly and easy to get along with. Big shout out too the two Steph’s and Cain who couldn’t help but accommodate my family and I’s needs. Food is faultless and would highly recommend to others that aren’t just local to the area but are also visiting. Land lady and land lord are also friendly a good laugh.

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and great food. The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the portion sizes were big. The land lady and landlord are really welcoming and greeted everyone coming into the pub. I will definitely be coming back

Waited an hour for our food then asked where our food was and told our order wasn't taken, after 2 of the family who are type 1 diabetics had already taken their insulin. Usually good but a let down.

I wouldn’t eat there , going off the state of the toilets. The window Cills have had the same filth on since I last went in in January

Lovely pub,great food, not a place for kids or ladies as there is alot of loud foul language. The seems to be acceptable

Newly refurbished means that this is one of our favorite places to go to, really relaxing atmosphere good pub food and good staff.

We have eaten here quite regularly on a Sunday for the past few months since the refurb. We have had a variety of meals, there is plenty of food and the staff and service has been great. Would definitely recommend.

We have now eaten here a few times, the pub has been done up and is lovely. The food is very good and fantastic value for money something for everyone on the menu. Pub garden is lovely and they welcome dogs so a bonus x

£4.50 for a cup of tea Where are we London this is outrageous cannot believe it I could have had a glass of wine for that price 🙄

Service, atmosphere and staff were lovely, prices were good and feels cosy due to the new fire! highly recommend.

The Hollins Bush is a well known JW Lees pub locally and since their refurbishment the word has been the food and atmosphere is good too

Had dinner with family at the Hollins Bush and the food was beautiful. It’s all homemade and portions are huge. Highly recommend the Fish & Chips and Chilli!

The face lift is great. The food is alright... but I’ve witnessed some not very pleasant things going on in the pub. Previous regulars getting served first over the queue of people. Nasty comments about kids just trying to get served for a packet of crisps. Poor things. Looks nice & tastefully decorated. You can roll a sh*t in glitter but... what a shame!

A group of 12 ate here and we were very impressed both with the food and the environment. The pub has recently undergone a refurbishment which has totally transformed the premises. The menu is varied and also has some specials on offer. The meals were nicely presented and were piping hot. We didn't sample any of the deserts as the main dishes were large enough to satisfy the biggest appetite. The landlady and her team looked after us well and nothing was too much trouble. Prices average between £7 to £10 for the mains with some great offers advertised for the lunch menu. Drinks were reasonable, just under £6 for a double gin and tonic! There is a car park to the rear of the building and a lovely beer garden. Would definately recommend and we will definately return.

I just called in to the bush for a few drinks. My god I smelt the food that was coming out of the kitchen, it smelt delicious and started to make me feel hungry. I ordered the curry it tasted as good as it smelt. I’ll definitely be bringing my family in for a meal. The staff was so friendly and couldn’t do enough to please you

We have visited the Hollins Bush on several occasions for both food and just a drink. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are friendly and hard working, the food is home made and we have enjoyed every meal. Highly recommend a visit.

This pub has recently been completely refurbished. Inside it is very light and clean, although I could not describe it as cosy. There are a good choice of beers available, including Lees cask, although it is as well to specify the cask version if you want it as they also do the gassy version. The toilets seem to be brand new and are very clean. A separate disabled toilet is also supplied.

Food, drink and very friendly staff. Since the make over the only problem I have with the menu is deciding what to eat. Definitely worth a visit and I am not a friend or family member making up words just to make them look good, they do that themselves.

First time we'd been here. The food was absolutely delicious, all home cooked and freshly prepared. We'll definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff at the Hollins Bush for a wonderful evening.

There was 8 in our party we all had food and it was delicious 😋 very nice. Good value for money. Would definitely visit again.

This has become a great little pub since being refurbished with a good value food menu. I often pop in for a light lunch if home in the week. yesterday we had a party of 8 for lunch and the food came out in good time and cooked to perfection. The pies are very good and great value. Will be fab in the summer when we can also use the beer garden.

Lovely Sunday dinner at the bush this evening everything was fresh not frozen witch is nice to see , friendly staff and great food , so

The Hollins Bush has had a much needed modern makeover and has been brought into the twenty first century so effectively that it is now a busy and pleasant place to be. It now has a kitchen too, serving good pub grub. The menu is fairly limited, but this is a really good thing with so many other dining places nearby. We definitely needed this wonderful asset to the local community. We tried the food here for the first time on Sunday. The chicken curry was excellent and plentiful and the salmon and prawn salad was superb. Simple straightforward food that tastes good is really appreciated. Well done to everyone involved, not only in the kitchen, but mine hosts and the young, efficient and friendly staff that have breathed new life into this lovely old pub.

This is our local pub and we have been in several times since it was done up in August for food or drinks. The welcome is friendly, the beer is good and the food, including the Sunday roast, is excellent. The only thing we would say is it would be good if there were more vegetarian options on the menu.

This pub has been refurbished and extended. The old pub seemed dark and a little unkept, now the décor, seating and lighting is excellent and very welcoming. There is now a great beer garden, which I wished had been available for the summer of 18 and all those hot evenings.

Called in about 7pm during the week for a bite to eat with the family the service was excellent the Manchester craft lager was great.

We had a couple of drinks and enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoon in the back garden. The staff was friendly and the parking was easy which is a plus!

Good place to go and have a chat and a drink. Jukebox and pool table are nice touches. Not a place to go to have crazy fun, but still good.

Small traditional public house , fine beers. Pleasant location. Slightly off the beaten track . Would visit again.
