AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

The Hollybush at Denford is one of the local gems. Situated close to Deep Hayes Country Park, the…read morehollybush is right next to the canal and attracts crowds of walkers. In summer, it is particularly popular with canal boaters and can sometimes be so busy that it is not possible to get into the car park, even though this is very large. There is a children's playground, a beer garden and the pub has been extended by a large conservatory to accommodate more diners in the restaurant. Even so, be prepared for a long wait on busy sunny days when it will be heaving - but it is worth it.
