Don't bother looking elsewhere for amazing pub food if you're anywhere in the area…read more We've stayed here and we've eaten here and it has always been faultless, and the staff relaxed, attentive and professional. The normal menu and food are great but I've just polished off a roast beef Sunday lunch that rivals my mother's. Wash that down with a pint of Harvey's Sussex beer and it's worth a trip from NYC on its own. First class; not to be missed.

A beautiful pub/restaurant in a small well healed village with seriously narrow streets. We arrived for our booking at 12 and were sat in the restaurant, short wait for the daily changing menu to be printed. On arrival the very helpful waitress took us through it detailing the various sections. I chose a delicious lambs tongue in aspic as my starter which I really enjoyed. We ordered mains, my partner ordered the beef fillet and I had the rose veal. She loved her dish and was very complimentary about it. My veal was nice, quite herby, and borderline over seasoned. Our biggest issue was the waitress didnt actually explain the total lack of accompanying vegetables, or we would have ordered some. Desserts were both lovely, chocolate tart and profiteroles but both were more like petit fours size than a dessert. We had the interesting distraction of the quite loud instructions to the brigade in the kitchen the bonus being that we heard when our dishes were coming. The decor was nice the building is of an age so some restrictions in how it can be modernised. Toilets were clean and well appointed. A great experience, a few minor tweaks necessary to make it a real destination venue

went there last night And hugely disappointing. myself and son-in-law had fish and chips and it was…read moreprobably the worst fish and chips I've ever had in a pub. Both our pieces of fish were virtually identical in size and shape, the batter wasn't freshly deep-fried, soggy, and definitely not mare in their kitchen, supported by the fact, that the meal was on the table literally five minutes after ordering, suggesting that it was shop bought. The chips weren't fat or deep fried, but skinny shop bought fries and the peas were hard. when asked by the waitress how everything was, I expressed my disappointment and to be fair to her, she did ask if I wanted her to get the manager, to which I declined. However, if I was manager in the hugely competitive hospitality market at the moment and one of my staff mentioned to me that a customer had been disappointed, I would hurry over there before they left and offer some sort of recompense- voucher, free drink etc. we stayed for another 30 minutes after the meal for a drink in the bar, and no sign of him/her. Not a good experience and I won't be going back nor recommending.

The steak and kidney pudding with its wonderful rich flavoured gravy is a favourite example, and the lemon meringue pie is to die for! Meals are excellent value for money, as you get plenty of the delicious food to eat. The Hollytree also does a selection of roast meats on Sundays. As the restaurant area is quite small and intimate, it is worth booking a table.

Every plate of food was cold, we complained after each course and still the next course was cold if not colder. They said it was only our table that had cold food and only charged us for the drinks. To be honest, even that I thought was bad service. They should have at least comped the whole lot. Such a special day completely ruined but bad food and bad management. Never again.
