Had the Christmas menu. 9 people. The Service was fantastic, the food was ten out of ten and all at a very reasonable price. You can't ask for more!!

Been for a pre booked Christmas meal. Clearly busy and understandably given the time of year. Took quite some time to get noticed at the bar for a drinks order. Lots of used glasses everywhere and seemingly struggling to keep up. Sat at our table, starters arrived, all lovely, plates collected and took a little time for the mains, mains were nice on the whole (minor point that I thought the pig in blanket looked really anaemic and under cooked, but everything else was lovely) and then the wait.... We waited. And waited. And waited.... Aaaaand waited. And waited. For 45 minutes whilst other tables got their food, a large table next to us wasn't cleared and there was stuff everywhere... Lots of goings on but nothing near where our table was concerned. It took us finally managing to catch someone's attention to get plates cleared... Then we waited again.... And we waited... Aaaand we had to go up to find out where our desserts were. Bear in mind this was all pre booked so we were a touch surprised to be asked what we'd ordered. We were then surprised when we got told it'd be a minute only for fifteen minutes to happen and then be told they had no bowls. All in all, our visit took 2.5 hours from start to finish. Dont get me wrong, I know it's Christmas, I obviously expect it to busy, we really did expect it and we thought it'd take a while. We didn't think we'd wait nearly an hour and a half between mains and desserts. Hoping to be able to change this to a better score upon another visit.

When we first arrived it felt a little cold(radiators were cold) and we were surprised how few people were in. However, it did warm up and the meals were yummy as always. The lack of customers could have been because it was half term and there was a bonfire/display on I. Wrexham. All in all we had lovely evening.

Food has always been good here. Portions are good, and they're all cooked to order. Since the change of management, there has been a shift towards catering for those wishing to have a pint or two. Before, it was very much geared towards the restaurant side. It's much more welcoming now if you're just stopping by.

Went today 5 of us, myself and partner had the sunday roast (beef), and the boys all had smash burgers. Delicious food enjoyed by all, very polite staff and great service. I cant personally comment on the bugers as i didnt eat those but the boys all polished off thier plates and said they were delicious, myself and partners roasts were great everything was delicious the yorkshire pud and roasties were spot on for me😊. Messaged them on facebook this afternoon at short notice to book a table, they messaged back straight away and managed to fit us in which I appreciated, servers were great we were not left waiting for anything at all, place was clean tidy and overall a great sunday had there by us all, will 100% return, and would highly reccomend.

out party of about 16 people booked into the holly bush for lunch, we arrived at aprox 12.30, we waited fi=or the first course , i had garlic mushrooms not goog , bland no taste, ater nearly an hour wait for the main course, it finally came , i had the Steak and Ale pie, the meat was tough the chips and veg were cold, i left mine becuase it was unedable, the waitress was told by a lot of people the food was cold, most left if , then after another 45 mins we asked where the desserts were , she said they would not be long, so most of the group walked out just paid for what they had, i waited for my dessert Apple Pie and custard, the custard was lumpy, i would never recommend the holly bush, what a way to run a place to eat, when i asked to see manager , i was told he was sick,

Came here with my mum for an early birthday meal and it was lovely. The lunch bites are cheaper and are a hearty good-portioned meal. The summer crumble was delicious. (They had Old Mout Cider too, which was the chefs kiss, a good pub in my books). The atmosphere and decorations were simply devine, feels historical and full of warmth. Would highly recommend!

Wow where do I begin! I have lived and traveled all over the world and I can HONESTLY say that this was the worst experience I have encountered. My wife and I decided to go for a quiet meal after work in this family friendly pub (Not). We arrived at 5.50pm and was sat at a table for 2 by the bar. We ordered our drinks and food. As soon as we had ordered there was 2 females a male and a young male adult started swearing, shouting and talking loudly of subjects of a sexual nature. Absolutely vile language!!! Not once did a member of staff ask them to STOP!!! My wife's meal was undercooked and had to be sent back., both meals were very salty. We could not finish quickly enough as we felt so UNCOMFORTABLE!!! When we went to pay we noticed a family who had young children (who would have heard every vile comment). When paying a member of staff apologised, saying sorry yes they were a bit loud this evening. NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR A SO CALLED FAMILY PUB!!!!

Me, my brother, my Dad and my Mum came to the Hollybush for a meal tonight for Father’s Day as we won’t be able to celebrate tomorrow. We have been before and had high expectations. We were sat down at the table for 6.30pm, and we had ordered at around 6.50. I am vegan myself, and so I ordered the flatbreads with a selection of dips for me and my brother to share for a starter, which was marked as vegan (as seen on the image attached), as well as the vegan burger. When this starter was brought out, I asked to check that all the dips were vegan too. The waiter, Michael, returned to inform us that none of the starter was actually suitable for vegans at all, as informed by the chef - it should be noted that this was removed from the bill, but this is still very poor nonetheless to mark a starter as vegan when it is, in fact, not. By no means was this Michael’s fault, I would just like to make this clear. Also, this does make me wonder how many vegans have ordered this same starter and have eaten it without realising that it is not suitable for vegans. Once we had finished our starters, it then took over half an hour before our food was brought out and we were given little explanation as to why this was. Many other tables received their mains before us despite being sat down after us. When eating our meals, we were not asked once how our meals were. The staff were very attentive at first but this did seem to dwindle a little a bit towards the end. The vegan burger was okay, my Brother’s steak was not cooked as asked, but my parents’ seemed to enjoy their meals. A few of the drinks were removed from the bill, which did show that our poor experience had been taken into account. It was a very disappointing experience all around, and we definitely will not be looking at coming back. It should also be noted that there are a limited amount of vegan options for dessert, with there only being vegan vanilla ice cream. Our previous experience was absolutely fantastic, back in February, but we were ever so disappointed and felt a bit pushed aside during our time in the Hollybush tonight, feeling as though priorities were elsewhere.

Genuinely terrible service, had to chase drinks, food arrived cold as it had been sat under the heat lamp for a time. Naan breads could only have been intended for hammering in nails. Not once were we asked if our meals were okay. Had to wait for cutlery after meal arrived while waiter hovered around with table full of ladies. Avoid when busy as understaffed

Our second visit to the Hollybush and hopefully the last. The food is poor and the service abysmal. What is advertised on the menu as a "smash burger" is actually a regular double burger. As a result, it's overcooked. The chips are nothing to write home about and the coleslaw is disgusting. Service was rushed and we had to order our meals in advance, which was a massive red flag. As other reviews have mentioned, we were not offered desserts, so at the end of the meal we just sat there waiting for something to happen. It seems like a wasted opportunity to not offer desserts to a large booking. The venue is completely devoid of any atmosphere and I genuinely do not understand why some people seem to rate it so highly.

Lovely pub and they squeezed us in last minute. The staff were lovely but after we had finished our mains they just left us with the plates on the table. We'd promised the kids dessert but we had waited so long, we ended up just paying (when we still had some plates on the table) and taking the kids for a mcflurry. Little disappointing as it was a lovely restaurant.

Being Gluten free it's very hard to find somewhere to eat that does a bit of everything. Having a partner who eats everything. We frequently eat there and the Gluten free fish and chips is delicious. Hollybush staff asked if there is anything I'd like. to give chef Steve couple of days notice and maybe he could prepare. We took advantage and decided to treat ourselves not go shopping for week and book table for 3 days running. I was not disappointed Steve the chef prepared gluten free steak and ale pie. Pasta carbonate with a twist of extras. And lamb mint sizzler . Everything was so tasty. Thank you Steve for being so accomadating really enjoyed it And the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Will be a regular treat from now on. Thank you so much.

i came to meet some friends yesterday for tea. i arrived at around 7:45 and their kitchen closed at 9. i was told they had basically closed the kitchen. only thing they offered was a bowl of chips? i don’t get why they closed off pretty much the whole kitchen an hour before it shut, and 3 hours before the pub shuts. my friends told me that when they arrived the person who served them didn’t seem happy that we hadn’t booked when the place was absolutely dead. they had their drinks plonked down in front of them with attitude. we were planning on staying for a few drinks but left because we felt like us being there an inconvenience. however aside from this we do have to say the food was very good. we ordered a beef sizzler and the beef was tender, came with a brilliant portion of chips, rice and salad! and the sauce was good. the chicken burger was lovely!

Idk if they have changed chefs or something but my chicken burger was overcooked, as well as the fact that I had asked for nothing on it and it came out with cheese all over the chicken.

Recommend by son & partner for a birthday celebration. . Despite arriving early the service was very slow, place started to fill with families so we didn’t mind the wait. My wife and I chose the “famous steak and ale pie I’m not sure what arrived a while later it appeared to be a beef casserole and a piece of rectangular uncooked pastry. I asked the server what it was supposed to be he took it back to who ever prepared it , I was informed it was steamed pastry in all the years I have eaten around the world I have never came across anything like it , totally inedible my granddaughter Mac and cheese had all appearance of evostick glue & the consistency of chewing gum , we decided on a pudding to finish after waiting for 40 minutes we gave up hope of getting it , imagine my surprise when I came to pay the bill even though we’d cancelled it .has a parting shot our server commented to come back again, my reply was not in this lifetime

The service was great, attentive and friendly staff. We both enjoyed a well cooked, well presented main and dessert. The amount of food and the price gave good value for money. Nice to see a restaurant giving an ample proportion, rather than charging a huge price for a huge amount I'm never going to eat. We had several soft drinks, the lime cordial was excellent quality rather than the cheap wishy washy quality often served elsewhere. The hot drinks were generous quantity. The table and cutlery were spotless, the toilets very clean. Really enjoyed it, will definitely call again.

Thought we'd drop in for a quick bite to eat whilst passing and I'm so glad we did 😊 A roaring fire and the warmest of greetings, can't go wrong with that for a start 😊 As for the food, we both opted for the rump steak ciabatta and a portion of the cheesy gourmet chips... absolutely delicious! Asked if ok for the steak to be medium and that's exactly what we got! Beautiful side salad and coleslaw on the side and the chips were scrumptious! I have to give a special mention for 'Mikey' what an absolute breath of fresh air! This really is the way you do it, the warmest welcome, the friendliest conversation... what an absolute gem, a real credit to your team😊 Looking forward to returning again soon, Thank You very much😊

I’m not one to leave reviews but I couldn’t not for our experience at the Holybush. I booked here for a surprise 30th birthday meal with over 30 guests and I just wanted to say how amazing everyone at the Holybush made it! The food was just absolutely outstanding, best meal we have had in a long time and the staff were equally outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble at all and everything just went so smoothly from start to finish because of them. The service we all received was just exceptional, even prior to arriving, the correspondence back and too arranging everything was just made so easy and straightforward. I honestly could not recommend the Holybush enough, whether that’s a big booking, just a family or a couple. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed! Thank you all so very much for making it such a lovely evening. We will definitely be coming back and I can pretty much guarantee our other guests will be too!

This review is for 2 separate visits. Visit 1: me and my daughter. All good. Food and service was great. No complaints at all. I had chicken and ribs, and it was huge! I was very pleased 😁 Visit 2: family party of 12 people. Sadly, I don't feel they coped well with this size party. The food delivery was a bit slow, and some of the meals could have been nicer (based on previous visit) we gave constructive feedback on one of the puddings, and they did take hat on board, which is what you would expect from such a venue. They also need a few more staff in general. Although they may have had some off sick? I would return, but not with large group. I'd suggest keeping numbers to 6-8, to ensure you get the best service/experience.

If your having mixed grill don't have a starter. Great dish well cooked and tasty. Couldn't finish it all. Had a sausage at home later. Burgers and Liver all good. Prawn cocktail starters good also. We will be back.

I was able to book online for the same evening ( midweek). We were welcomed warmly, and were impressed by the lovely interior of the pub. Although it is a Marston’s pub, the menu was different to the norm. Everything was made in house, and we loved the choices. My husband couldn’t resist a starter ( black pudding fritters), followed by a steak burger and loved both. I had the chilli, which was also delicious. The home made chips were to die for! Altogether a very good meal and evening. We will be back!

I really like coming here to get a soft drink every now and again (sometimes a sneaky pizza too), also, I have been coming here with my father recently. My father really likes spice and really likes pizza, he had the hot and spicy (three chili rating), but he claimed it wasn't spicy and was quite doughy (thick). Overall, we both love coming here and will be returning, but maybe a different meal for my father 😅
