Excellent food, quality service

I visit every week. Always lovely

Good food. Reasonable prices. Big garden. Lovely local pub.

Great food, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Great mid week deals

No food ordered just wine and perroni imbibed.

Couldn't fault it. Lovely afternoon with friends. Drinks & food both excellent. Service was great. Staff are friendly & great fun.

Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be returning 😀⭐️

Been here a few times just for a pint. Seems decent, plenty of outside seating.

This place used to be my favorite spot to meet up with friends and family, and to grab some food and drinks. However, that is no longer the case. The salad is unwashed, full of sand and dirt, and who knows what else. I will never eat here again!

Food is very good and the prices are quite reasonable

Great pub in the embers inns chain. Used to be my local a few years ago, dropped in today and still good. Real ale great and food lovely, good size beer garden to the side, with wooden shelters to sit inside if it rains, nice outside sitting area at front

Much improved under new management - lovely grilled Sea Bass.

Came for a working lunch, food was great, service is always really good!

Came here for lunch as weather beautiful Ordered on app asking for all to come together my salt & pepper calamari, side salad and hubby's open steak sandwich. My calamari came and we waited, hubby went to bar and returned calamari, and we waited, hubby went again to bar only to be told the calamari had been put back in to re heat but had overcooked so had to do a new batch. When served hubby steak sandwich was over cooked should have been med. OK we ate it my calamari was lovely hubby not so happy with his as over cooked. Should have been more easily rectifi

We booked a table for dinner,and today we were really welcomed,,ordered our meal and drinks and wasn't disappointed.lovely meal,staff Becca,Phil and the chefs,Jim,Ryan and Ashley were amazing.Lovely place to eat,and drink.Try it

Emily and kortne they have been amazing with the service they provided, always with a smile, and always ready to help from Raj Johal

Would've been 5 stars if there were extra staff on that day. The food quality is nice, I love the gammon, nice, thick and juicy. The price wasn't too bad but the timing was too long to wait. I'd go back again and hope to see some improvement then I will post another review. Review #2 Drink is somewhat a little over price. Asked for juicy burger but still dry.

Good service and food would go again.

Food wasn't the best but staff were very helpful

Ordered via Uber app (priority), I ordered a large portion of hot and fiery wings and 2 portions of chips. The chips were lovely, good chunky chips. The wings were nice, a good size but they definitely were not hot or fiery, I had to put hot sauce on them. You do get plenty of wings in the large portion. The container it arrived in is poor as the lid does not shut.

Great Staff consistently friendly and polite, relaxing atmosphere.

The service at the Hollybrook is always amazing. The staff are friendly and always approachable; Becca, Paige & Emily always go that extra mile to ensure you are happy with your meal & check everything is OK. Couldn’t recommend the Hollybrook enough.

The food is fab ,lovely pub …I come here for my lunch always ! Emily ,Becca,Mark and Phil are fantastic …excellent team work and they are very efficient 🙌 5 stars ✨

Pretty nice atmosphere. Foods nice and the staff are anything but horrid. They did an amazing job 👌🏿

RIHANNA on the bar was lovely and very helpful.

It was great very polite staff and the food was great

Excellent service. Lovely Sunday dinner. Good value for money.

Thank you Emily for your recent service. You really helped when I was unsure about how to place my order…

I've had a double bacon cheeseburger for the past two weeks. Absolutely lovely food and great staff

We had a most delicious & lovely Sunday Lunch experience on Easter Day - thank you so much for your warm hospitality & yummy food ☺️

Does what it says on the tin. It's a "Chain pub", so you know what to expect. On the day we went in late March, 5:00 pm (ish), it was cold inside as the fires were not lit, and the central heating was off.

Lovely building, nice decor , regular food . That's it

The staff were welcoming, we were able to order from the table without a problem and the food was lovely. We live locally and will definitely be back.

Another lovely evening at the hollybrook, had the curry which is alway brilliant. Along with great service from James, Becca and the very lovely Paige.

Called in to the Hollybrook for lunch, both my wife and myself had the shepherd's pie, absolutely excellent. The pulled lamb in the pie was delicious as were the rest of the ingredients. As in previous reviews I will once again heartily recommend the hollybrook, the food, the staff and the service are of the highest standards. The staff are friendly, and engaging and nothing is too much trouble, and the choice of food and drink is awesome.

Comfortable and clean serving normal oub food.

Went to the Hollybrook for the first time last week. Absolutely loved it. My daughter is adhd and can never sit still she really enjoyed herself. They made us feel so comfortable. The guy with the neck tattoos was so helpful and pleasent. Will definitely be returning.

Brilliant atmosphere and great staff

Great service, great food, great atmosphere! Was served by the most loveliest person called becca 😊

Came again after an excellent meal yesterday . was served by Jim who was very welcoming and courteous . Food was brought out in a timely manner by a lovely girl named courtney . Thank you for another lovely meal !

Absolutely love this pub, food was beyond expectations, the atmosphere was great and the staff were so nice. I think it is worthy to give a mention to some staff on the bar, i think there was someone working called Tara and she was so warm and welcoming and the waiters were so quick with delivery, I have to give a praise to staff like Courtney who delivered the food in great time. So a big thankyou to everyone. Will definitely be returning.

I visited last week and would thoroughly recommend. Great selection of Ales, lagers and ciders plenty for all to choose from. Special shout out to Jordan and Emily for helping to choose from there food and drinks menu! Couldn't thank them enough for making my visit a very pleasant one!

Very good value three course menu.

Was welcomed with a smile. Served by a lady called Tara . Had 2 steaks medium rare and was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be visiting again

Nice place, clean tidy and good service and fiod

Becca is the best barmaid in the world 🙂

So impressed with Becka the bar manager. Always busy, always attentive is always clearing tables, always has a smile. If all the barstaff took a leaf out of Beck's book it would be an amazing pub.

With a group of visually impaired people, staff were very helpful. Food was typical pub grub, but OK. Members enjoyed being able to mix & chat.

First time eating here in a few years and was very excited to be going back as it was always very good but safe to say I was left disappointed this time….. Had the Sunday set menu for Mother’s Day. My partners Gammon was very fatty, probably 30% fat. Roast potatoes and parsnips looked like they were probably frozen and not fresh. Stuffing wrapped in bacon incredibly salty and bacon cremated…… I had the rib of beef. Same issue as above and both dishes only just warm when arrived and within a minute were cold. Poor service in that there was no check back after delivering main, no asking if everything was ok when mains cleared and again no check back on dessert or again when clearing the plate. I get it was Mother’s Day and busy but definitely felt like we were just a number yesterday and it was about getting as much food out as possible rather than providing a service. Will maybe try again on a quieter day and give it another go because it was always fantastic years ago.

Atmosphere and service was nice. Steak and burger was a bit dry.

I had my food delivered by uber they wasn't any cobs with my children's chicken burgers and they put the onion rings in with my steak mushroom and tomatoe the onion rings was very soggy I have ordered from here plenty of times and never had a problem

We just had a couple of beers. Good atmosphere, good service. Decent price.

Never ate but a very pleasant place

No apology from management for a hair on the plate. Over cooked mushroom starter returned. Gammon/ham was soggy and inedible! Would not recommend.

Lovely pub to just have some down time,dog friendly kids friendly lovely staff, they make you feel very comfortable atmosphere is always good Down side music is a tad to loud but other than that it’s a 10 out of 10 pub/restraunt

Have been before. The atmosphere is cosy and inviting and not at all busy when we came. The meal was really delicious, we had the sea bass, and everything was cooked extremely well, not overdone, plenty to eat, and it arrived in good time and hot. Staff were friendly and helpful, in fact one (manager?) Went above and beyond as she had to phone me later in the day as we'd walked out without paying!!! She took my details over the phone and all was well. I would suggest though, that maybe you don't suggest 'keeping a tab' as I was expecting to pay when I ordered and if I had I wouldn't have forgotten and walked out?!

Worst fish and chips ever had in a restaurant The chips were tasteless, more bits than whole and some bad which was noticeable. My fish had less white flesh than brownish dried blood. We have been many times and have been quite satisfied.

Attended in February 2024 for a celebratory meal which was very nice. Unfortunately I ended up getting a parking ticket from Euro Car Parks who apparently run the car park. The pub has a sign-in system on the bar and it is not overly obvious why it is in operation. I now know why it’s there! Perhaps some improved signage within the pub might be good. Definitely feel aggrieved as a genuine customer to the pub and probably won’t return thanks to this experience.

A good pub with good pub food. Friendly service, warm fire. Will go again

Both owners are very warm and welcoming. We went for a quick coffee and brownie. The service was fast and the atmosphere is extremely friendly. This place is authentic from old gold days.

Only went for drinks. Great atmosphere and served quickly with a great selection of beers, ales and spirits.

A lovely place but a bit expensive more a treat place once in a while.

Great service as always, decent prices, often have a good deal on, friendly atmosphere and tasty food.

We all had great food as usual (portabello & mushroom pies) staff are great and had a cosy table in front of the fire

Always a great place to come for a drink or a family meal, great, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere! Definitely worth a visit!

A lunch of avocado toast and a mocha. I've been coming to this pub for years, with a break of a few years. Having had incredible avocado toast the previous day for brunch at a different pub I thought I'd repeat the experience. Sadly I didn't get to repeat the experience as this was nothing like it. Sliced 50/50 bread barely toasted with minimal avodao mashed in chunks on it, some old cress on top, and huge chunks of chilli. What? It looked like something a child would create. I wouldn't dare charge money for this. Someone help this kitchen/chef - they need help.

Service not so great. Asked staff about the £1meal for the children.they didn't know anything about it. Went and asked someone else then came back and advice to download App. Then later said it's for weekday. So disappointing. Also asked for dessert twice after a long wait. Poor service

Nice little local pub. Food is great, would recommend the waffles. The staff is nice and friendly, nice little atmosphere they have there. Don't forget to put your car reg in the little iPad before ordering, that way you won't get a parking fine.

The food and atmosphere were great, but unfortunately service wasn't 5 star level, as our booking for 18 people with a list of meals was lost. But the staff was very supportive and tried their best to sit is and deliver meals as soon as possible. Food was fantastic. Prices are affordable.

I couldn’t fault my visit in all honesty. Food was very nice and very reasonably priced too. Staff were friendly and helpful as well.

Lovely, cosy and Christmassy, food and service was great. Dog friendly too!

Warm , cosy and lovely food. Friendly staff and good service

The food and drink is always good and the staff are polite. Cosy when the fires are on.

Large party booking and the service we received before and after our visit was amazing. The landlord was happy to accommodate fussy eaters, with no issue. Attention to our tables was excellent. 18 people enjoyed their meals, no complaints at all. The food itself was first class and the portion sizes were excellent. My one complaint was that it was very chilly for some of our party. That was the one issue that was raised!

Good food + service Nice atmosphere

We had a lovely time at the Hollybrook. The food was lovely and good value for the money. The staff were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was calm and quiet.

Very friendly and helpful. Always welcoming. Becca give top service

The drinks were amazing Very nice environment Becca was really nice

Always great service, food is amazing, would highly recommend

Nice local pub, warm. Staff friendly. Nice place for a catch up or family food. Not a bad price either.

Love coming here good beers, great food lovely service too

Enjoyed our meal (4of us) and nice range of beers and lagers. Reasonable prices and didn't have to wait long. There was a problem with our order when it arrived but it was sorted out quickly and professionally. Will visit again.

Good choice of beers but slow service at bar, and still slow, bit better service on third visit.

We ordered 3 children's meals. 2 should have come with salad but didn't. When we queried this we were told that it was because we ordered chips. We pointed out that this was incorrect. Eventually it was corrected but we had to become assertive for it to be rectified. The waiting staff including the kitchen staff didn't seem to know what was on the menus!!

Nice pub with good atmosphere. Plenty of seating. Good service from the staff. Tasty food at reasonable prices.

Food was lovely. Staff a bit slow to serve at bar and clear table. Great they offer Blue Card discount.

Don't understand why lights are so dim - 2 of us had to sit at a large table because it was the only well lit table. They weren't busy but food took forever to come and therefore has put pressure on the rest of the day Food was brilliant

Nice homely pub comfortable and food was very nice

Pleasant staff, did not wait long for food to arrive and was very nice, good value as we had the 40percent off deal will certainly do it again

Good food & beer, worth a visit, pre book tables

Popped in for lunch on a Saturday. Staff are really friendly and helpful and the service was so quick. Chicken burger was glorious. Really tasty and succulent breast in a bun with a lovely Chipotle mayo. The scampi and chips were also fabulous. Can't fault our visit today. Just a shame we live so far away.

Nice friendly staff, good selection of drinks and food!

The Hollybrook is one of our favourite places to eat as we like the ambience, good car parking, nice window views and more importantly the food and service. The menu is to our liking and the food is always cooked nice and presented well. Service is always friendly and efficient without being intrusive when you are eating. the only item we identified that could be improved we fed back at our visit, which was if trying to order at the table we have not yet been able to find some items on it eg mixed grill. Checking all the menu items show on the App may support more ordering at the table.

Had a nice meal here, good burger and even better dessert! Staff were very friendly.

Service good, food came out in timely manner. Reasonably priced, good selection of drinks

The food tasted delicious and the service was really fast!

Came in today after a long time away nice to see Tara and staff had scampi & Chips where nice peas not nice May come back one day
