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.

A tray of rock oysters making its way through the dining room.

Freshly shucked, served over ice, with lemon and a selection of condiments, and delivered to the table by Chloe.

Every detail matters.

Different parts of the pub, but the same attention to detail running through all of it. Every finish, every pour, every plate has been thought about before it reaches the table.

That’s the part you don’t always see, but hopefully always feel.

Four new cocktails have joined our spring menu, each bringing something a little different to the bar.

Nom has been working hard on the new list, with fresh colour, lighter flavours and a few quietly confident twists for the season.

Holly Blush
Bright, citrus-led and gently warming, with cranberry, ginger and tequila giving it a beautiful lift.

Golden Hour Sour
Soft, peachy and smooth, with Woodford Reserve at the centre and a golden finish that feels very much like its name.

Melon Martini
Vivid, clean and fresh, with Midori, gin and citrus making it one of the brightest glasses on the menu.

Strawberry Garden Caipirinha
Fresh, fruity and gently tropical, with strawberry, lime, mint and cachaça bringing a little garden sunshine to the bar.

Spring, poured four ways.

There was something about Martha gliding back and forth behind the bar that made the music for this reel pick itself.

A little Virtual Insanity movement in cocktail form.

Another new addition to our spring cocktail menu, the Strawberry Garden Caipirinha is bright, fresh and gently tropical, with strawberry, lime, mint and cachaça coming together over ice. A beautiful spring cocktail, finished with mint and dehydrated lime.

We’re very proud to have Kyrah Henry at the helm of our kitchen as Head Chef, bringing together refined British cooking and the influence of her Caribbean heritage.

Kyrah has been at The Holly Bush for 10 months. Her food reflects both refinement and personality, shaped by two years in Michelin-starred kitchens and by leading kitchens in the Caribbean. Half Jamaican and half St Lucian, her style feels both polished and deeply personal.

She brings depth, identity and genuine care to the table every day, and we feel very lucky to have her leading our kitchen.

This 24-hour marinated jerk chicken supreme is a beautiful dish from our Head Chef, Kyrah Henry, rooted in flavours close to her heart and inspired by her Jamaican and St Lucian heritage.

Served with sweet potato purée, rice and peas arancini, grilled pineapple and corn salsa, and finished with a plantain crisp, it’s a carefully composed plate with warmth, colour and care in every element.

11/04/2026

A beautiful new dish for spring from our brilliant Head Chef, Kyrah Henry.

Herb gnocchi with parmesan velouté, shaved asparagus, semi-dried tomatoes and fresh parmesan, each element carefully arranged on the plate.

Fresh, elegant and full of care, it reflects the thought and attention that goes into Kyrah’s cooking.
