| A chance drop-in at this pub occurred as we'd been forced to overnight on the canal nearby and were in search of a half-decent drinking house serving quality and preferably interesting local ales. Well, we didn't quite find all these at the Hollybush, which was essentially a pleasant enough local pub but sadly showing no imagitation at the pumps. Tetley Cask, Shepherd Neame Spitfire and Fullers London Pride were hardly innovative or local choices. Whilst these were kept well enough, they were inevitably all served via sparkler which was entirely inappropriate for the latter 2 beers. Still, we made the most of its cosy drinking areas, bedecked with horse brasses, beams and other memorabilia. Some of this was authentic as the original portion of the pub is a 16th century farmhouse. However there has been many additions over the years, including a new accommodation block at the rear. It looks like while the pub aims to maintain its status as a local in the main bar area, it also seeks to be something of an attraction to travellers. The family market would seem to be catered for too, with a generous garden and cheap meal deals - 2 courses for 12 quid. Not bad, although I can't comment on its quality. All in all, a perfectly amenable and acceptable venue, but nothing exceptional. TWG - 18 Sep 2011 18:20 |
