The Hollybush in Caerphilly

Had a sunday lunch with a group of seven food was great// service was great would definitely recommend.

The food is amazing here. Prices are reasonable, and the meals are fresh and plentiful. Homemade dishes and homemade desserts with so many choices. Staff are attentive and very friendly.

Such a lovely quaint pub. The staff are all welcoming and so friendly. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary on Monday party of 8 and the food was amazing. Good portion sizes, good choices on the menu with decent prices to fit all budgets. The staff are really lovely, took care of us nothing was too trouble for them. We definitely be returning.

Amazing everything 👏 thank you x

Haven't had food here for a while but wow I've missed out. Let me start with the service. Each and every member of staff were amazing I can't praise them enough. The food was outstanding, perfectly cooked, hot, fresh and plentiful. Amazing atmosphere and well worth the money. Be back soon, very soon.

The food was stunning. I highly recommend it. The staff were also lovely and so helpful

Very friendly staff lovely food very welcoming will definitely be going back

Large portions great value for money.

Called in as we were running late getting home and they slide us into a table for two which wasn't booked until later in the evening, the chilli and rice was good , my wife's rump steak was even better. Will call in again and book this time. Great staff waiting tables, great customer service and managed our expectations from the start.

Best dessert I've tasted for a long time.

Excellent Sunday lunch, sitting in the dogs house, great afternoon

Nice enough but dogs only welcome in bar where there's only 3 tables. Only one ale on. Railway down the road is much better.

Best cheesecake I ve ever had❤️. Lovely food which is reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and fantastic staff.

We take a friend to the hollybush for lunch he has very poor sight so he needs to have no obstruction. Hollybush always accommodate us. Food and service excellent 👌

Had Sunday dinner here today,the staff were very friendly the food was great the prices were cheap, a great experience would come back any day. Thank you for a good experience.

Last night 16 of us were booked into the Bush for a meal and we were placed in the new marquee and had a great time. The owners had put in a patio heater for warmth and even supplied blankets for more comfort. During the meal the rain poured down but we stayed warm and dry. As always the food and service were great.

Nice place, atmosphere and good food.

Very friendly staff, great food, big portion, will be going again when we come to Wales

Have always had good meals there

This place is amazing lovely food lovely staff very friendly and the owner a lovely lady will go out of her way to help you . Her cheesecake is gorgeous.

Great service and food. Massive portions, can't wait to return. Good to see a local pub still doing well.

Absolutely amazing service, so conversational and accommodating. Will definitely be coming back!

Best fish and chips I've ever had , no joke. Lovely staff and locals , Beautiful clean facilities.

Food was Outstanding. Definitely go back and highly recommend.

Great food, plenty of it aswell, would highly recommend.

Excellent on everything , food , service , atmosphere.

Lovely food and friendly staff

Went here for my birthday on the 21st January. Everything was amazing from the staff to the food

Really lovely place, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Food was excellent, the onion rings felt really fresh - not frozen. Vegan lasagne was amazing. Decent anount of vegan/vegetarian/gf options to choose from. Portion sizes are quite generous, so make sure you're hungry! Looking forward to going back when I'm next down in the area.

Lovely pub just around the corner from where I live. Met here for a meeting and it was lovely. Will be going back to try the food.

We didn't have food, but enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and pleasant service. We popped in during our walk through Llanfabon over the mountain and found this place on our map onroute. We headed off to Quakers Yard and finally returning back to Pontypridd. We'll worth a visit

Cosy lovely place warm and inviting

Great food and service. Went over and above.

Lovely food great service and friendly staff.

The food was really nice with a big plate and not too expensive either and the staff were great.

Absolutley lovely meals there again tonight

Lunch today, food is excellent, great portions, tremendous value, great service.

Welcoming place, friendly staff. Had a nice catch up with relatives here.

Very good value for money . Great choice of food and very helpfull staff

Just finished food there after getting 7 of us booked in at short notice on a Saturday evening, lovely big massive portions, chips are amazing, chatty, welcoming & helpful staff, great atmosphere, footie on sky, dog friendly & the kids were happy. Try the peanut butter stack & ice cream, snickers ice cream in disguise, bloody lovely. P.s who needs Gas 😉

Avoid this pub at all costs! Landlord, a total billigerant individual. He was sarcastic and as welcoming as a wasp down your shorts. He decided to turn off the TV on a whim, when customers were watching the Wrexham and Grimsby playoffs, just as the game was going into extra time to put on his 'alexa' music. When other customers and myself asked politely, if he would allow us to watch the end of the match., he refused! We were told ' don't ask'. The food was good ( but even Michelin star cuisine would not tempt me back there again) and the bar help, Jemma, was polite and friendly... The landlord, himself, was rude and impolite, he made the character Basil Fawlty look like the perfect host! In star rating, I give the Holly Bush, Nelson, Caerphilly minus - 5 stars 😞😠

Nice Pub . The food was fine, the price was fair , the service was very good . Pleasant bar staff .. would come back if in the area again for sure ...

Second visit Sunday and it won’t be the last. Lovely people running it and lush homely food ☺️

3 star on hygiene so won't be going back...staff were pleasant but not the same there.

Beautiful little pub with really good drink and the food is always top quality....get there and enjoy 😋

We had take away Sunday lunch today absolutely amazing

5 adults & my grandson went here recently on an imprompu visit.....we hadn't planned to have a meal so hadnt pre booked but the Staff were very friendly & welcoming & went above and beyond to arrange a table for us.....the dining area was comfortable, quaint, spotlessly clean & decorated to a high standard.. There was a small menu to choose from but Our Main Meals were piping hot, arrived quickly & were reasonably priced.. Small free carpark also.....We will definitely visit again.....

Great pub menu and reasonably priced. Clean restaurant. Friendly staff. Generous portions. Would 100% recommend and return.

10 of us had a 21st birthday last night , the food and service was fantastic, couldn't fault it , food was 10 out of 10 generous portions and

Disappointing Mother’s Day lunch. Food was just warm and roasties seemed like they were cooked yesterday and warmed through. Poor service and then asked to move halfway through dessert as we had been seated at the wrong table. In the end the party coming in had not even arrived so we felt turfed out for no reason. Had a lovely lunch previously but sadly won’t return again.

Staff are helpful food was very nice

Wonderfully hot and tasty. I will definitely go there again.

Nice food,piping hot.service was ok,friendly but could have done with cutlery BEFORE food was served,not as efficient as could have been.outside lighting needed also toilets could do with freshening up.

Had a fantastic reception when we arrived the venue was very homely and the food was gorgeous will definitely go back again

Been tonight for a meal. Decent food but appalling service. No organisation at all and staff overwhelmed and some rude. Avoid

Quaint pub. Met up with friends for a meal. Heard its changing hands soon. Hope new landlord keeps the chef on. Great value & tasty food

Visited here for the first time today. Food was exceptional. Friendly service. Reasonably priced. Generous portions (!!) Will definitely be returning. Thank you x

This is a real local. Wonderful spirit and welcome. Hadn't be there for some 54 years. The place is transformed. Good range of food and drinks at reasonable prices and with good portions. The hosts know how to run this business. Well organised. Highly recommended if you like getting the feel of the local community. Very popular and well supported by the locals.

Chow mein was swimming in sauce and tiny portions

Excellent fish with gorgeous batter and homely fries. Lovely coffee too

Have been here three or four times by now and never failed to have a thoroughly good meal. Usually go around 2pm mark and the place still cooking meals for anyone who orders despite it being a normally quiet period.. 100% will go again. Prices are very competitive and there's a decent selection of drinks available. They can cater for larger groups on joined tables.. Maybe up to 20 people

Always a good atmosphere here and nice staff 👍

Hadn't been since before the pandemic, not sure if there's new owners but I loved this last trip there. Food was so tasty, creamy mushrooms are unbelievably good. Such good value too.

Absolutely stunning food . Great staff . And the owners are so very friendly

We eat here as much as we can and never had a bad meal!! Great staff and great service! Food is amazing.

The food was delicious. The chef was lovely. Will definitely go back.

A very small pub and restaurant, very popular, good proprietors, good food,an excellent Ale, Butty Bach,what more do you want !! K

Amazing Sunday lunch this afternoon..friendly . Service was fab..highly recommend

Lovely little pub, great food. Fab service would recommend 😁

Yet again another pleasant place to visit. Very welcoming staff and management and food was great too

Food was lovely, reasonably priced and the staff were friendly.

Great food! Only downfall was the rib eye steak, which was a little chewy. Cheesecake is 👌

Nice Sunday lunch,really friendly highly recommend

Really nice food and really, really nice people. Couldn't do enough for you, food was lush. Faultless experience

Went for a meal at the Hollybush in Nelson 3 times the week leading up to Christmas. Excellent food each time, one of which was a Christmas dinner. Service of food and bar were first class each time. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to going again soon. Highly recommended

Very friendly service meal was lovely large portions would recommend xx

Great place, lovely atmosphere and a superb dinner and desert, really reasonably priced also.

Lovely food, great welcoming. Lovely landlady and landlord and waitress was very helpful would definitely recommend this place.

Absolutely stunning home-made food! Lovely drinks and desserts as well at reasonable prices. Definitely recommend

Great atmosphere, great pub, took my family here for Sunday lunch. Really glad I did. I can honestly say one of the best cooked dinners I have ever had, the stuffing was incredible. The staff are very attentive and the premises is very clean (including the bathrooms) I will definitely be returning to this establishment. A huge thank you to you all

Amazing welcome from the staff and owners today Felt so at home. 5 of us ate , all different choices and each one tasted and presented lovely. Cheesecakes were also amazing. We have booked to go again

Gorgeous Sunday lunch and the staff were amazing. Very smart pub. Worth a visit

Beautiful meal, Staff really lovely and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Very warm welcome, big portions, tasty food . A nice stop in this little town

Lovely atmosphere! Lovely staff! Had a really fun evening. Only 2 let downs were that we had to wait about 2 hours for our food to arrive after ordering and it was far too salty. Shame that a lovely pub was let down by the food 😔

Always feel welcome. Ruth the owner takes care of us. We love going here. Best service

Lovely friendly service,Very nice meals reasonable prices.

Fabulous atmosphere and fab hostess (Ruth the landlady)

First visit to the Holly Bush, friendly staff and nice food
