The Holly Bush is an historic traditional pub in Hampstead. Offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Central London, The Holly Bush is well worth the visit.

The interior retains traditional decor, from the open toasty fires to leather banquettes and dark wood furnishings. On a warmer day, head outside where you can relax in the sunshine and enjoy a pint or two.

The menu celebrates the best of British produce, and The Holly Bush has been awarded The AA Rosette award for culinary excellence. The dishes feature a symphony of flavours, from classic British pub fare to innovative, globally-inspired dishes.

Roasts at The Holly Bush are the stuff of legend in the local area – choose from options such as corn fed chicken supreme with stuffing, or roasted rump cap of beef, served with roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Make sure you leave room for dessert, where the menu features classics with a decadent twist, including sticky toffee pudding souffle or apricot & chocolate bread & butter pudding to share.

Hampstead Underground is just down the road, less than five minutes away.

    What a delightful discovery! We saw this pub mentioned on TikTok and decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed! As soon as you’re seated you’re served an adorable plate of fluffy brioche buns with salted butter with parsley. The food was fantastic, delicious and varied. Service attentive and friendly. The pub itself has retained a lot of original structure, rooms and design but clearly really well maintained. My only small feedback would be the fish and chips where the fish tasted a bit too fried as the batter was very dark and crusty. The fish was fresh and tasty though.

    Super lovely pub! The Sunday roast wasn’t what it was a few years ago, and they don’t let you choose a temp on the burger. Well done only. Flavors were lacking but it’s an idyllic pub. Best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had though

    Quite average as far as pubs go, but you wouldn’t think it looking at the price. I really would not recommend a visit as I’d probably not want to go back if i’m being honest. So much better quality and value around the area. Lets start with the menu: quite limited. The kitchen has attempted to be fancy but the plates come out being rather basic in terms of how flavours go. All our food came out cold sadly, including the food, so that was rather dissatisfying. Also portions as you can see are tiny. The service is great, but there is 0 atmosphere. Quite loud, no music, and the whole place is rather drafty.
