"I feel as though the positive reviews on service must be false… such a shame to have to avoid the only pub in the village for fear of being verbally accosted from the moment you walk in. The landlady is just incomprehensibly rude, dismissive and just plain unpleasant… to everyone?! It’s like an airport, when it’s your only choice, you sometimes have to go there. Although I do AVOID this place at all costs. You are fairly safe if you just get a drink and find yourself a corner, but even then… and god forbid you ask a simple question, want to order food, want to book a table, turn up for your reservation (on time! , want some sugar for your coffee… READ THE REVIEWS, it’s all true… if you want an insane experience (a real life Karen’s Diner…? then feel free to try it out. If you want a nice evening out, afternoon drink… avoid!"

"Unfortunately not a great choice of beers. To eat, we ordered pork souvlaki and lamb chop as main courses 14 each). The pork was supposed to be marinated but came out pretty dry and tasteless. Not a big portion either (2 small-ish skewers). The tzatziki...was watery and hardly tasted of garlic. The salad was mainly limp iceberg lettuce with a watery yogurt dressing on pretty tasteless as well. The chips were good and the pitta was warm. But overall very bland and basic for the prices. The lamb chop was purely fatty and grizzly, there was hardly any proper meat on it. It had a very strong taste and seemed a very cheap cut. Vegetables served with the lamb were OK but again pretty cheap-tasting. Chopped-up, oily aubergine is a bit of an odd choice for a veg side dish, though. Service wasn't brilliant, either, we had to remind them twice to bring the tap water we had asked for with our other drinks. Nobody came and asked if we wanted any sauces (ketchup) or how or meal was, not even at the end when we paid. For those prices, I would have expected a relatively decent meal (not just made up of cheap ingredients) and half-way decent table service. The descriptions of the dishes on the specials board sound great and sophisticated, but unfortunately they don't live up to the hype. I only saw after our visit (on their Facebook page) that they are looking for a new chef. I wish I had known that before. I wouldn't go again, unfortunately. Ah yes, the table surface was sticky, too. No Covid measures in place whatsoever."

"We visited this restaurant for a family breakfast on Sunday morning, and it was fantastic! The food was amazing, featuring locally sourced ingredients, with delicious eggs, sausage, and bacon. The coffee was great as well—I really can’t tolerate bad coffee! The service was impeccable; the staff working that morning were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was wonderful, and we’ve always enjoyed this pub. We definitely plan on coming back for breakfast again—it was delicious!"

"What an absolutely wonderful evening. We will definitely be returning. The dining room is relaxed and elegant. The food was exceptional. Seriously delicious and generous. The service was thoughtful and light hearted. It all just felt like a good balance. They brought us some Westcombe cheddar fries while we were waiting to order they were unbelievable! Just wow! My grilled octopus was smoky, sweet, succulent and indulgent. Perhaps it was hungry, but this was probably one of the best things i've ever tasted! The pork with nduja and sweetcorn was brilliantly satisfying and tasty. Then the rum baba desert with peach and yoghurt sorbet WOWOW. So damn good."

"The evening before Mothers day our two daughters treated us all to a meal at The Hollies Restaurant. I had driven past the restaurant countless times but had never considered eating there before.The restaurant is in a very old building that has been very tastefully converted and beautifully decorated, all the staff were very friendly and informative helping us with the menu and informing us of the progress of our meal in the kitchen.The food was very nicely presented and tasted wonderful.There was almost too much on the extensive menu to choose from looks we'll be going back several times from now on until I've eaten my way through the menu!.Given the lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, the great staff and lovely food the prices are very reasonable."
