"Booked around 2 weeks ago for a party of 14 people for last night, for a special celebration. Arrived to be told our booking had been cancelled despite calling them a couple days before to confirm and pay a deposit. On raising our frustrations we were met with arrogance, sarcasm and rudeness particularly by the male waiter who treated us like it was our fault. We were then offered to 'squeeze ' on 3 separate tables, 2 tables for 4 and a table for 2 or 3 for 14 people! The waitresses attempted to change the tone of the arrogance of the waiter and apologise but sadly too late. Luckily Meadow Farm were able to push some tables together and accommodate all 14 of us to sit together and we did manage our celebrations, all be it late. Unfortunately this wasn 't an isolated incident as had been the month before for a family birthday and although the food was lovely, we were still met with the same rudeness of this waiter then. Why be in a customer service position if you 're not a people person? Safe to say we won 't be trusting them again with our family gatherings. Nice food but organisation and lack of people skills really let the place down. UPDATE: Thank you for your response Jon but unfortunately you can 't tell me we cancelled online as it was booked by telephone so did not have an online booking. I see the tone of all of your responses is negative, always with sarcasm and always blaming the customer, which appears to be a top down ethos of the Hollybush. Such a shame!"

"Visited 18.04.22 5:15pm for a booking of 5 people for my little brothers 8th birthday and had a fantastic visit from start to finish. Loads of space to park on arrival, with parking redeemed at the console on the bar. We were immediately greeted by someone when we arrived who directed us to our table (a lovely spacious round table near the back of the room . We ordered food and drinks, and as a vegetarian family we're all really happy with the veggie options. For drinks we had a couple of soft drinks, a cider and a bottle of wine (very good at £11! . For food we had 2x nut roast carvery, 2x brie, mushroom and cranberry Wellington and 1x margherita pizza for the birthday boy. The pizza was apparently so good that half way through he said he wanted a second one! (He didnt live up to this and had to take his final 2 slices home . The carvery options were both incredible and bursting with flavour. The veggies were brilliant and all tasted fresh, and the guy on the carvery counter was really friendly All food was a fantastic price, around £8 for carvery is unbelievable and an absolute steal. I was absolutely stuffed but the rest of the group had bottomless ice cream, which looked great with a self serve station equipped with toppings and sprinklings. My partner had the chocolate brownie which looked lovely. I opted out of dessert but finished off with a lovely fruity tea. Also to note, this place is fantastic for kids. There's a small play area outside and the staff have my brother some choccy as it was his birthday (lovely touch . They also had some colouring in bits for a prize draw, great to keep the little ones entertained. All around a really pleasant experience, with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, fantastic prices and a general top tier atmosphere. Will be looking to make this a new regular visit!"
