We have visited this pub several times recently. The choice of real ales and excellent menu keeps pulling us back. There has always been a good atmosphere and as someone with mobility issues I particularly appreciate the same level toilet facilities.

Review posted to Google at the request of Ember Inns. It’s nice to be able to order to your table. However, it would be nice to be greeted when something comes over, rather than just saying ‘Pepsi max’. The meals we ordered were lukewarm at best. The sticky toffee pudding is by far the worst I’ve ever tried. Two spoonfuls was more than enough! Tasteless and bland comes to mind. Unfortunately, these stayed on the table until we left so I didn’t pass my comments on to the waitress. A smile wouldn’t go a miss from the gentleman behind the bar but was polite enough when we first arrived. Overall a bit mediocre. The Hollybrook used to be such an enjoyable evening, but tonight’s left a lot to be desired. Sorry :(

Came with my friend and her son , paid 6.99 for a children’s meal age over 6 ( price is extra ) and this is what arrived after a lengthy wait and then had to ask for the drink that never arrived , and no one came to ask how the food was as I’m sure even the waitress embarrassed . This pub disappoints every time sadly . Not impressed would have raised it in house but didn’t have a spare decade to wait .

Ordered the rump steak and peppercorn sauce. It was delicious, so tasty and tender. Had sticky toffee pudding and ice cream to follow, which was great. The price was so reasonable off the "2 courses for £13.29" menu (supplement for steak and the sauce). Would definitely have it again. We were looked after very well by Paige and Becka, who were friendly and professional.

Unfortunately this place has gone downhill considerably over the past year or two. I took my family here for a roast dinner on Sunday. The pub wasn’t busy but it took over 45 minutes to our food to arrive - we weren’t told of any delays when placing the order. The food itself was dire. The meat was of the reconstituted type, the roast potatoes were tinned potatoes (yes, you read that right) which had been roasted - they tasted about as good as you’d imagine. I’m not sure how they’d cooked the carrots or cabbage but both were tasteless and very rubbery. We ordered sausage, mash and beans for my daughter. The sausages were the smallest chipolatas I’ve seen, the beans were watery and the mash was Smash (maybe there was a potato shortage?). All of this a not-particularly-cheap prices. Needless to say we didn’t stick around for dessert. A shame as the food and service here used to be decent

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. Review #3 Drink still expensive, cheaper to get from local shop for half of that. Gammon's ok but little chewy. Plenty staff it seems. I've increased atmospher from 3 to 4.

Called in today at around 4pm. I had the chicken tikka and my friend had sausage and mash. My chicken tikka was covered in red and green jalapeños which I instantly had to take off as I cannot stand them and this was not advertised on the menu and I wouldn't have chosen if it had said that, I chose chicken Tikka as i only like a mild curry, the menu did say two naan breads which turned out to be two very small rock hard inedible things. My friends sausage and mash was purely two sausages on a bed of powdery instant mash, not even a spoonful of peas and that was £8.95. Nobody came to ask how the meals were and there was no one in sight as we left . I often visit the broadway and the markeaton and have never had cause for complaint at either of those. UPDATE & RESPONSE TO OWNERS REPLY:- I did not say I had ordered the Tikka at the Markeaton or the Broadway. The jalapeños, in my humble opinion should not be put on if they are not mentioned in the menu. Just a typical defensive response to my honest review of what was a poor dining experience of sloppy served up cheaply made pair of dishes, with teeth-breaking rock hard tiny little whatever they were.

Called today family of 4 we had burger meal was OK a mixed grill again was OK. 2 slow cooked rib of beef paid sat down then was told only had 1 beef OK so I had a mixed grill. All food came out however there were no root vegetables on the cooked rib of beef just a large serving of peas and cabbage and not only that the mixed grill was slightly cheaper meal we never received the difference. For these reasons would not go again. You should be told there is not enough of one item before you pay.

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.

Hi we came to visit on Saturday (22/02/2025) and the customer service we received was second to none, the assistant manager I believe her role is, Georgia. Went above and beyond for us and this isn’t the first time she has done so. The food, atmosphere and hospitality was 5 star as always but we just thought we should give credit where credit is due. Georgia is amazing and you truly have a gem on your team. Thank you for a great experience once again.

I've worked next to this place for 17 years before discovering this. Recommend by a work colleague. Visited a couple of times now for breakfast and lunch. Food is perfect, just what I need to get me through my working day. Very clean place. I believe it is only for people working in the rail industry as the place has its own security.
