The Holly Bush - Harborough

Just visited for the first time and had a superb sunday dinner. The atmosphere was lovely, the roast and veg were amazing and the staff very friendly. Will definitely visit again, and with our four-legged child next time, because it's also dog friendly! Thanks guys

We pulled off the motorway to get some lunch and had previously eaten at a few other pubs in the area. This was by fay one of the worst pub meals I've had. The mash potato was smash, the pies are not pies (overcooked stews with a pastry lid), and peas like bullets. Smoothered chicken is chicken sitting in an entire bottle of sweet bbq sauce, with cheese on top which has been blasted in a microwave. The young waitresses were pleasant, but I'm pretty sure the chef is in fact a microwave. The meat in the pie was as tough as leather. We had 2 mains and 2 soft drinks and it cost the best part of £40. Genuinely terrible food.

Went here tonight and had a lovely meal. Nice, warm pub with a real fire blazing and friendly staff. Good food at good prices and real ale what more do you want from a village pub? We're trying to make an effort to support these slightly out of the way pubs at the moment and places like this will be really missed if more people don't do likewise.

Very miserable staff even my daughter commented. Not a hello or ‘how was your meal’ won’t be back. Really let the whole experience down. Bar staff unhappy. Food launched in front of us. Come on chaps.

It was a lovely summer evening. We decided to go out for dinner and drove by the holly bush and thought why not. The beer garden was lovely and quiet and perfect for catching the late sun. We ordered our food and waited and waited and after an hour enquired how long before our food arrives. The young girl serving said I’m sure it won’t be too much longer. Other people had ordered and ate their meals and left. I gave it another half an hour, by this time it was 9.00pm! We decided to call it a day and we left fed up and hungry. We stopped off at the local chip shop and enjoyed a fish supper. I’m totally disgusted with the service at this pub and will not bother visiting again in the future.
