The Holly Bush (Hampstead)

• If its the traditional pub food you desire with the right kind of historical element
• Holly Bush is highly recommended
• It was however buzzing with chit chat and music
• It is one of those places with a healthy number of regulars and the bartender recognizes quite a few people
• I ordered a roast pork belly with mashed potatoes and tossed veggies
• Crunchy and the herbs tickled the tongue with every bite and the portion size was huge
• She ordered a lamb pie with veggies and mash and loved it too
• The prices are probably a bit on the higher side but its well worth in my opinion
• A meal and drinks for two (Not if you are in a mood to get smashed) would cost you somewhere around £
• Preferably on a lazy and sunny (good luck with that in London the sunny part
• The Holly Bush is a truly authentic pub by its decor (wood
• This little treasure is not easy to find
• I am not convinced it was necessary as at one o'clock there were plenty of tables unclaimed
• Seated at a table inside we were surrounded by lovely panelled walls and there were atmospheric candles on each table with flowers and aqua blue water glasses
• Both arrived quickly along with a bowl of vegetables to be shared family style
• The meat might have been succulent and tasty but the sirloin was also quite difficult to cut with the provided utensils
• Really it was a lovely luncheon and the Yorkshire Pudding was amazing and the manager (
• ) who greeted us at the door was very kind and gracious in his welcome
• Perhaps during the Christmas season as I hear it is lovely all decked out with Holly Bush
• If someone was hankering for some amazing Yorkshire Pudding
• Prices and food are great all around
• The Holly Bush is delectably everything you want in an English pub
• Reeking of character and packed to the brim with polite and friendly locals
• The most delightful part of the experience was the gorgeous golden retriever at my feet
• The entire feel of the place coupled with the friendly service scored the Holly Bush highly in my esteem
• The vegetarian 'roast' option on Sunday was delicious with the exception of the Yorkshire pudding which was disappointing (hard and tasted like it had been re microwaved)
• Baby friendly with high chairs and a change table
• The STAFF however are ruining the ambiance and food WHICH until 5 year's ago use to be good
