This pub used to be so lovely and welcoming,now it's headbanging music and not much else,some of the singers are so bad you wonder if they do it for free. Place used to be spotless,no so now,the previous owner spent hours in the garden and kept it beautiful again not so now,they advertise on their website that they do food but no food in sight. I've read some reviews about the previous owners running the place into the ground,what a load of bull,the place was a dump before Pete and Helen came along,they must have spent a small fortune renovating only for the new owners to paint everything Gray and all over that beautiful wood paneling,but hey each to their own. I hope they are enjoying their retirement,they deserve it

Since Red & his wife took over this fine pub a year ago it has got better & better. Music that makes you want to stay & with a decent beer selection. The guest ale is always something to go for of course. The locals are back with a fine age spread from 18 to 80+. The welcome is as warm as the log burner. Life has been breathed into this fine old building & its soul has returned too. When Red & his family are taking a step back from their great front of house work then the other bar staff make you feel just as at home. When the weather allows then head to the sheltered garden too. The previous tenants almost killed the place so ignore reviews from 2021 & before. The Holly Bush is back !!!!!!! Use it ??

Our meal was undercooked so we sent it back. It then came out burnt. When we complained we were sworn at and told to leave. Avoid this terrible place!!!
