My burger was really nice which I've had twice , it was a double burger and that Patties were really thick and tasted amazing but I'd visited about 3 weeks earlier and had a much tastier meal, the chips on that visit were amazing , they were skin on and really tasty however they have gone back to basic pub chips which were really bland . Refillable drinks are good , lots of flavours however each time quite a few of the flavours were all gone.

We've been to this pub 2 Saturdays running, the previous week was nothing to write home about but this weeks experience was really good. I understand that this was following a change of management. The food was on time, excellant quality, and hot. The drinks selection and quality were good but more importantly, the the service compared to the previous week was excellant. Sam, who looked after us was very good. I hope that it continues to go from strength to strength.

We went to the Hollybush last night for the first time in absolutely ages. We weren’t quite sure what to expect, but the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable. We were attended to by Sam, the Manager who was extremely welcoming and friendly. She took our order and engaged with us which meant we felt we were valued customers. The food was served promptly and was excellent and is certainly good value for money. We can recommend the Cod & Crispy Bacon Rarebit and the Chicken, Leek and Cider pie. The whole place is clean and tidy and the staff are efficient and friendly. Thank you Sam, and we will definitely be making a return visit.

its our local and we go quite often... well we did... its slowly been going downhill...on our last visit we were told there was an hour wait for food... not a problem, except the place was half empty. I ordered drinks and food, the barman didn't have a clue what he was doing... I felt sorry for the guy, what happened to his training?the starters came, eventually, but they looked like they had been under the lights for ages, skin on the sauces...eventually the meal came... it was not what I ordered... but it was something i liked, so no problem... except that it was dire... the other meal left a lot to be desired...this is pub grub, surely they can at lease get the consistency right?The whole place seems to be chaotically run.

Popped in on Saturday and both decided on the salad, my husband steak and me chicken and bacon. The steak was cold, the salad was soggy and seemed to have been prepped by a 3 year old, huge chunks of browning red onion, soggy leaves v expensive for what it was even if it had been edible!!

Came for lunch, 4 adults and a child. Only 3 adults ordered and the young child. The bar seemed very quite, no more than 30 people in, I got a little concerned when the table next to us asked where there order was. After what seemed an age our meals began to arrive, to be fair mine was ok, my wife's salad was suffering and had to be sent back, the child that was with us had to be stopped from touching the plate as it was nuclear hot on one side, the plate got sent back anyway as it was missing the peas, the lady serving asked us about a bowl of chips which no one had ordered, the 3rd adult was forgotten about. When questioned the serving staff stated the chef had forgotten it of the ticket and the meal would be no more than 10 minutes, which begged the question as to why meals were taking so long to come out of the kitchen!We did get 1 meal and the child meal comped to the staffs credit.The soft drinks were flat, and the ice was non existent. Sorry to say but probably won't return.

First time coming back since the refurbishment of the bar and kitchen. We opted for a 3 course meal. Mushroom soup for starter soup was lovely although not warm enough did tell the waiter this when he collected bowls and next time I saw a soup coming out steam was coming from it mixed grill for myself all cooked to how I asked and Sunday lunches for the parents. Overall the food was lovely service was a bit slower than normal but nothing to complain about unless ur pushed for time.

We went to the Hollybush pub for dinner on a Monday early evening. The food was preety average. A couple of dishes had things missing off them. I had a burger which was well overcooked. Some of the meals were ok. We had to wait over 25 minutes for the kids deserts which were just ice cream or jelly, so not the best on that front. We have had a lot better meals there previously.

Made the mistake of giving this pub the benefit of the doubt after terrible service last time. This time, we stood waiting to be served for over 15minutes, during which, different members of staff looked at us...and walked past. No apology, no ‘sorry we’ll be with you in a minute’ or any acknowledgement at all. Me and my family were just left to stand there, while 1 blonde, female staff member in particular continued to walk past us at regular intervals rolling her eyes, speaking to anyone else that came her away except for us. Left feeling extremely upset and annoyed.

We used to visit the hollybush regularly. Since its remake it has gone downhill, with the experience feeling a lot worse than before. I don't expect fresh handcooked everything from a chain, but the portions were poor (£3 for a side of chips which was no more than a large handful of oven chips), and the quality wasn't good. My wife ordered a lasagne with a salad, which consisted of browning lettuce and some other bits. Pointed this out to a waitress, and got no apology or anything. I always find that if noone comes to ask if everything is OK with your meal it's because they already know its not, which is a shame. Won't be rushing back.

Been here twice first time staff were rude and ignorant but we put it off as a one off. Second time We arrived at this establishment only to be completely ignored by the staff whilst we stood at reception waiting to be seated for 10-15 minutes. Staff just looked over at us and continued doing whatever they were doing not even a word of well Be with you shortly so we walked out. Full of chavs and a dump . Avoid! The recent refurb is like lipstick on a pig, pointless.

First of all, the best thing about the HollyBush for me would be the atmosphere and quality of food. We came as a group of nine and was instantly sucked in by the incredible decor and friendly atmosphere. We did wait for a little longer than usual for our food. However it didn't really bother me as I knew the venue was pretty busy! They have a great menu for vegan food and I was extremely impressed by their B12 Burger and Spicy Cauliflower Wings. The service overall was OK, with the waiter understandably not getting too friendly which was also due to how busy he must have been - but he was not rude or impatient. Brilliant experience overall and would definitely visit again.

We visited this week for grandads birthday with a group of 25 guests. We booked a table in advance and the restaurant were happy to create more spaces if required. We were all seated straight away and looked through the menu. The restaurant have a range of foods of choice and had an offer for a free pudding with every grill (we are all big meat eaters) so we were happy with this. We did wait a long time for our starters but this was expected with such a large party. All foods were what we ordered all cooked to a great standard. Oils not fault the waitress that looked after us. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Although we go here a fair bit, you can always guarentee the same sort of pub food, ping ping meals at its finest, best bit of it it's quick food if your in a hurry, drinks nearly as much as the food bill, but as you'd expect from a restaurant chain, food is tasty and a good price, so can't really say any other.. As I've said food for the busy customer..

Ordered the four cheese pizza here, it was vile. It looked as though the chef had just sliced away at a block of mature cheddar cheese and piled loads of rectangular slices on top of each other, didnt even look like a pizza would normally look. Never tasted anything like it. Had two bites and took it to the bar to complain to the Manageress who I found to be argumentative and patronising, she could definately do with some customer service training.

We phoned at short notice for a table of 8 and we're accommodated very well and with no fuss which was great. Unfortunately that was the best bit of the experience. We were celebrating two family birthdays so it was a special occasion. A confusing start as we were sat for quite a while and no one came to the table so we assumed it was bar service just as we were about to go up someone came over. The children's sausages and burger were dry and burnt, the beans had a skin. The shawarma pizza was meant to come with shredded roast chicken, kebab meat, chickpeas and rocket, none of these were on the pizza instead there were three lumps of watery curried chicken on the pizza, when we bought it up they said the kebab meat is blended in the sauce, however I also had a pizza and the sauce on both tasted exactly the same, and who blends kebab meat, plus it doesn't say anywhere in the description on the menu it's blended into the sauce, I believe this was a cover up. The whole pizza tasted completely bland even the few chilli's on top tasted of nothing and there wasn't a rocket leaf in sight. The chicken stack was a dry, unseasoned, sauceless plate of chicken, the buttermilk chicken was just fried chicken the same as we had in a starter. The children's brownie was so dry the boys didn't finish it (which is insane as they've never tuned down anything chocolate in their life) when we bought up the pizza we were offered another meal but it was too late at this point and our guest was put off the food, they did take it off the bill as she hadn't eaten any but only after we indicated that this was the fair resolution. Waitress and service was very lack lustre and the manager never came to see the table and apologise for the dissapointment. Overall it ruined a special occaision and the food was really tasteless and a poor effort. We wish we hadn't given it a try and wouldn't return. The children enjoyed the play area though and the interior is clean and nice.

Came here today with a couple of friends. The inside looks really nice but the food is vile I had a burger and the bun was burnt black and the chips was burnt too. Don’t even get me started on the staff, they are all young teenagers working there and you get asked every minute by the same people “have you ordered?” “How’s your good?” “Have you had any drinks?” Obviously it’s nice of them to ask but if it’s every few minutes it gets very annoying. Will not be returning. If you like burnt food this is your place.

We visited here to have lunch. We were shown to a table that was quickly pulled together to accommodate our party of five. The waiter took our drinks order which was quickly brought over even though the pub was pretty full. We ordered our food with a few changes to how it was displayed on the menu. When the food was brought out one of the plates had different vegetables to what had been ordered, straight away the waitress said she would sort it. No rolling of the eyes or body language to say we were causing her more work. Both the waiter Charlie and waitress Lily were excellent and were so polite and bent over backwards to make our visit fantastic! The food was great, hot and full of flavour! We'll be back.

The side doors (that you HAVE to pass from the carpark, this is a destination pub too) were locked and when I asked if they could be open, I got "no, we only open them when it's hot". The whole reason we went there was to enjoy a drink and something to eat in the sun. But we couldn't as the only seating easily accessible was the on the main road, a busy road. So we're forced to sit inside because the staff are too lazy to open the side doors. The real dumb thing about this is that these are the doors onto the beer garden and you have to pass them to get to the main entrance anyway! Seriously dumb.

I don’t mind paying for good food if it’s good..!! gonna go to the Round Oak in Wombourne not 2 for 1 but great quality food.. try it folks you won’t be disappointed..

We did go there on a regular basis and have had many good meals there but after tonight we will not be going back because on entering the pub we were told it was going to be 40 minutes till we could get a table then when we did eventually sit down and ordered our meals it was another hour before we got our food also the food was terrible. My wife had the ribeye steak and it was all grisle asked for the steak to be medium but it came out well done. I had the mixed grill which I asked for medium and that was well done as well. They have also stopped doing the two for one menu so you are paying double the price for crap food. All in all I will not be going back and will certainly not be recomending to family and friends .

Date night with my hubby. Starters of prawn cocktail and pate... birth were nice. Mixed grill MR and chilli salmon. steak over cooked sides forgotten. Broccoli with salmon soggy and salmon burnt on the bottom. Waitresses tried to put things right by going to the kitchen for our sides but we had finished by the time they came.won't be recommending or eating here again. will just stick to having a drink.

Haven't been here for years but was a suitable location for 8 of us to meet so thought we'd give it a go! It has been done out since the last time we went and is much improved! Expected to have to order at the bar but we had waiter service which was nice. There were a couple of things on the menu (typically the one i wanted) that they didnt have but we were told this is because the menu is about to change. I am always wary of having steak in a 'pub' as you tend to get what you pay for so it was a risk but too good to miss the Thursday deal of '2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £20'. I must say i was really impressed! All the food came out at the same time and was hot and well presented. The steak was really nice and cooked how i like it, i had mine with jacket pot and it came with a little pie with a bit of peppercorn sauce in it which i have never had anywhere else before. Everyone else enjoyed their meals too - a couple had cajun salmon, fish and chips, chicken and the veg curry (this was the poorest meal, it was a lot of sauce and not much veg). Staff were friendly and service was quick. Toilets aren't very nice they could do with being done up but apart from that we were pleasantly surprised, thankyou :-)

staff are nice and friendly, food was amazing but has a few downfalls. the menu is very confusing and is not clear.they forgot my dessert but it was very busy. i asked for a straw and they had none but its not a big problem , for me its a little pricey but you get what u pay for great food.. i loved the arcade and play area for kids

Granted its 2 for 1 but if I ordered a burger not on the deal id be paying 15quid for summat that was the cheapest burger Ive had in a long time. The meat was vile like the sort youd pay 1quid and get 10 burgers in the freezer shop. The chicken on the burger was nice but calling the beef part 'steak' burger and serving takes the mick a bit. Wont be returning!

Not even busy, staff are very slow. Kids play area is good, but it’s tucked away so you can’t see the children play. The food was microwaved and stodgy and we waited forever for it to arrive. It’s never been good here, but today was particularly bad. Staff definitely need customer service training.

Great welcome from Lynn. Busy due to half-term but staff very attentive. Fillet steak was just right and well presented. No room for deserts-next time.

Just awful. Woefully poor food availability , There were only 4 of the 8 of us that had our first choice available. Really slow service , food was cold and had to be sent back , after finally waiting for my food to be rewarmed I then had to wait 5 min for accompanying condiments by which time food was going cold again . I decided to track down my missing condiments to find a waitress holding them in her hand but she was far too busy chatting to a colleague to bring it over to our table . Staff unapologetic and management uninterested in feedback.

Such a shame how this place has gone down hill. Children running everywhere & very noisy. We used to be able to sit away from the play area but thats not an option any more. The food is good & reasonably priced. The staff are lovely. It's a shame the food & staff are let down by a poor layout of seating.

My son had a birthday last week-end and it was decided we would try the Hollybush on the Penn Road. It was on a Saturday so we booked the table for the twelve people invited, when we got there (around 7-50) it was quite full, it seemed to me the staff behind the bar could only just cope with the volume of people wanting a drink, they were also quite curt, not very friendly, probably due to the work load they had, the food was served, my soup was just about warm and the bread roll not warm at all, the main meals were all good, so was the sweets, the food staff were very pleasant and efficient. The meal value was very good if there were even numbers as most of the main meals were 2 for 1 deals.

An early evening meal with 10 friends. Table booked several weeks ago, to accommodate all of us being free for the meal. Advised to book to avoid long wait for a table. Basically the place "does what it says on the tin". A decent menu, of limited scope". We ate pizza or burgers. The place was very busy and after ordering we had to wait 50mins for our food. It was worth the wait, excellent pizza's and succulent burgers. Bar well staffed. The nice surprise was the bill,just £10 each, when the bill arrived we were informed that we qualified for the 2 for 1 offer!!!! great value.

Since changing to a grill and pizza eatery, standard have dropped. Pizza is of no flavour and did not contain toppings mentioned in menu. Staff did not feel to mention this to us. Chips where covered in oil. Service was poor, felt as though I was chasing them. 3 times just to pay the bill

We were told we couldn’t eat here tonight because the mains “probably wouldn’t get out in time” it was just after 8:30pm and the opening times state open until 10:30pm. I understood they’re last orders were 9pm but they obviously wanted an earlier night and turned us away offering no solution or attempt. This is a Shame as we had wanted to try eating there for a while and work late nights in the week. Definitely won’t be trying here again.

We have been here on a number of occasions. On this visit eleven of us met up for a pre Christmas family get together. The staff were lovely and very efficient, as always. Our food arrived promptly and was all good. The two for one offer always makes a trip here good value for money.

Booked a table for 6 people and when we arrived there seemed to be some confusion about our booking, we where left standing in the doorway for a short while with no real explanation from the young lady on the desk as to what the problem was, when we where eventually shown to our table i ordered for myself a fillet steak and asked for it well done again this created another problem i was told the kitchen staff could not do steak more than medium so i could not have my food cooked how i wanted it, i suggest marstons send these people on customer service training courses, the price of the steak would have been £23, it's only another £2 down the road at miller and carter so i wont be visiting the hollybush again anytime soon, oh the other members of the party had there version of hunters chicken and all said the same chicken very dry, one more thing before i finish, i would like an answer to my question of why i could not have my steak cooked as i wanted it, no one could answer on the day not very good service at all, and i know its christmas and some people don't want to be at work well i would tell these people to find jobs in another sector and let someone pleasant do there jobs!! You call yourself grill and pizza i don't think you use a grill at all i think you use a george foreman and a microwave thats why you can't do food as ordered.

Booked in advance a table for 5 for Christmas day. £42 each for a 4 course meal. And we were not disappointed,starters were tomato soup with croutons and a roll was hot and creamy. I had the pate with brown toast and chutney very tasty. 5 Turkey Christmas dinners with roast potatoes carrots sprouts peas parsnips stuffing and pigs in blankets .we ordered extra pigs in blankets cauliflower cheese and cheesy roast potatoes. Puddings were Christmas pudding with ice cream ,chocolate torte with ice cream ,butterscotch and ginger pudding with custard cheese and biscuits and lemon meringue with procesco. We were meant to have coffee and a Christmas cake slice each for the fourth course but we were too stuffed to eat any more. Well worth the money .try it next year you wont be disappointed.
