What a first week back.
It’s been so lovely to welcome everyone back to The Holly Bush.
We’re open every day for lunch and dinner, with group dining available too.

After spending the past couple of weeks giving The Holly Bush a little time and attention, we’re really excited to be reopening our doors tomorrow.
We’ve been carefully tending to this much-loved old pub, preserving everything that gives it its character while making a few considered changes along the way.
Now, all that’s missing is you.
We can’t wait to welcome everyone back tomorrow.

Something bright, fresh and full of colour to look forward to when we reopen on 26th August.
Our Mango Gazpacho brings together the sweetness of ripe mango with marinated tomatoes, sliced heritage radish and coriander oil, finished with delicate coriander cress.
Cool, vibrant and beautifully balanced — a little taste of late summer waiting for our return.

Today marks our final day before we temporarily close for an exciting refurbishment. A huge thank you to all of our wonderful guests, neighbours and regulars for your incredible support. We can’t wait to welcome you back to an even better Holly Bush.
We’ll be closed from today until 26th August, while we complete a range of improvements throughout the pub. When we reopen, you’ll find refreshed interiors, changes to the kitchen, beautifully renovated facilities and we’re looking forward to introducing some exciting new food and drinks too.
We’re disappointed that we’ll miss the first half of Ariana Grande London tour and won’t be able to welcome her amazing fans and followers during those dates. But we’ll be back from 26th August, just in time for the final week, and we’d love to welcome anyone visiting London for the tour to celebrate with us.
Christmas bookings are now live, so if you’re planning a festive celebration, now is the perfect time to secure your date.
Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to open our doors again on 26th August and welcome you back home to The Holly Bush.
See you soon,
The Holly Bush Team ❤️

Every element has a purpose. In this behind-the-scenes glimpse, Kyrah talks us through our spiced lamb rump, explaining how layers of texture and vibrant Caribbean flavours come together to create a dish that is balanced, considered and full of character.
A chance to hear the thinking behind the plate from our Head Chef.

There is something wonderfully assured about the way Kyrah works, and here we get a glimpse behind the scenes as she talks us through the preparation and plating of our pimento beef carpaccio, sharing the thought behind each stage as the dish comes together.
Precise, considered and full of confidence, it is a glimpse of the care and skill behind every plate leaving the kitchen.

There are few pairings quite as enduring as caviar and Laurent-Perrier Champagne.
Our sharing caviar is accompanied by perfectly chilled Laurent-Perrier, with the first taste served as a traditional caviar bump from the back of the hand.
Originally used by caviar producers and chefs to taste the roe without a metal spoon interfering with its delicate flavour, the warmth of the skin gently releases its aroma before each pearl meets the palate.
With World Caviar Week underway, there could hardly be a more fitting time to experience it.
Available to share at The Holly Bush.

Our magnums have arrived.
And with English Wine Week underway, it felt only right to begin with Folc.
Made with grapes sourced from independent, family-owned vineyards across Kent, Suffolk and Sussex, this is a dry English rosé with notes of strawberry, red berries, peach and citrus, crisp acidity and a clean, elegant finish.
Served in magnum,available now.

Folc’s Pinot Noir Rosé, produced and bottled in England, is the perfect accompaniment for the English summer… best enjoyed in your nearest Fuller’s garden. As part of our English Wine Month celebrations, you can buy a small glass of any English Wine for £7.50 throughout June.
Plus, working with brands such as .folc – who have developed more lightweight packaging while working hard to promote soil health and biodiversity as part of their winemaking philosophy – means we can offer you delicious wine that has less impact on the planet.

Cold rock oysters. Lemon. Condiments. Bloody Mary shooters poured at the table.
It’s a pairing with history behind it, but the reason is wonderfully simple: brine, spice, acidity and freshness all meeting in one clean little moment.
Quietly bold. Beautifully Holly Bush.
