Reviews Holly Bush

Family Birthday celebration. The staff were so attentive and friendly, and the food was served without waiting too long. Everyone commented on how tasty their meals were and the children in our party were well catered for. We especially liked that there was a separate gluten free menu with lots of choice for our coeliac diner. Well done Holly Bush , so glad we chose you and we will definitely be back.

Portions are quite small, so definitely take note of that whilst ordering. Food was good, however nothing too special or mind blowing, especially considering the price. BUT the staff are super friendly, accommodating and helpful - we were served by Rae, who was very nice and apologetic about the delays the entire time (obviously something which isn’t their fault!) - It’s worth a visit if you’re popping in for drinks, but probably wouldn’t eat there again. Overall pretty average, but nothing too serious to complain about. 😊😊😊

I am sorry to write anything negative but I have had to knock down the ratings due to the experience of my mother - For context I am vegan, and my mother is vegetarian - we also had my sister who is on a "regular" diet with us. The starters were all delicious on a good starting note, we all throughly enjoyed. I had bread with oils and olives, my mother had a soup and my sister had the garlic mushroom ciabatta. We could not fault any of the starters as they were all fresh and full of flavour. We got to the main courses and two of the three meals were delicious - I loved what I had and ate the whole meal, if you are going - even if you usually consume meat I'd highly reccomend giving the vegan butternut flatbread a try. The pink mocktail, I can't remember it's exact name but I had it also pairs really well with it, it has a subtle berry flavour. The second dish that went down well was my sister's lasagne, I can't comment on the taste as a vegan but it was well presented and she enjoyed it. The third dish however... my mother had ordered halloumi goujons on a ciabatta and two of them were halloumi, the third one was definately fish. The colour was completely different inside and it was noticably fishy smelling from the other side of the table once it was cut into. Her fries were also par-cooked and soggy and I left some chips out for her because I knew she was less likely to eat fries anyway but they didn't look right - at all. Despite serving her fish the chef was insistent that her goujons were all halloumi but were cooked in fish oil - which is disgusting as fish oil is not vegetarian. This should be stated on the menu as it is not allergen or dietary friendly. We were really unhappy with how lightly it was handled as they still tried to charge her for a meal she couldn't eat and the manager had slipped away to deal with a personal matter upon seeing this go down - I can't fault them for offering her a replacement but if they cook their meals in the same oil it wouldn't be replacable for two reasons; firstly, the oil is still cooked with fish and that would make it not friendly to her diet and secondly, she would have been eating alone. We eventually were given our meals for free for the inconvinence of not being able to eat together which I appreciate as and end result of our conversation but it's a shame we had to bring it to their attention that they can't replace something that is cross contaminated. I would also like to say, to not end on a bad note that we had a really lovely waitress and that the resturant had a nice, friendly atmosphere aside from the negative experience with some of the till staff on my mother's behalf. I would reccomend coming here for a nice meal if you have a party without allergens who do not follow meat or fish free diets as despite the high quality of the food it has made us cautious to return as the allergen training does not seem to be up to scratch.

Once again another 5 star meal. The pork roast dinner OMG!!! If I was on death row then that would be my last meal. It was phenomenal 😍 Hollybush you are honestly the best. Your staff are always so welcoming and friendly and couldn't do enough for you. And the food is absolutely top tier ❤️

Been many times. Food 90 % of time is very good. When busy though, food can arrive lukewarm. Staff always attentive and friendly and I enjoy the country atmosphere.

Service poor, was given food with no cutlery or serviette. Sent my chips back straight away as cold and oily. Steak ciabatta was as not fresh and not edible. Asked for refund for food and drink, which was given.
