Our Pub

A traditional 17th century pub, with charm, character and atmosphere just like pubs used to have. Step back in time into the quirky layout encompassing three roaring open fires, quarry tiled floors and pub memorabilia. The renowned snug, formed by a curved partition panelled wall, is one of Britain's finest unspoilt pub rooms.

Landlord Chris and wife Alex fully embrace the pub's character as they see the pub into the 21st century, whilst retaining all the qualities that make the Holly Bush what it is. “It’s a lot of people's favourite pub, including ours, and we’d like to keep it that way.”
