About This Pub

Oh, The Holly Bush – it's one of those lovely Hampstead haunts that just draws you in with its welcoming vibe and homely feel. From the moment you step inside, the staff really shine, offering that extra bit of kindness and attention that turns a simple visit into something memorable, whether it's a tour of the place or fussing over your furry companion. The food is spot on too, with refined pub classics and innovative dishes that leave you satisfied and impressed, especially knowing they've bagged an AA Rosette for their culinary prowess. It's ideal for a casual pint, a hearty meal, or even a celebration, nestled in the heart of the area. On the downside, it does get a tad bustling on busier days, so you might find yourself jostling for space, and like any popular spot, it won't be everyone's cup of tea if you're seeking utter peace and quiet. All in all, it's a solid choice for a good night out – I'd say give it a go and see why it's become such a favourite around here.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The staff are absolutely brilliant, always going the extra mile with warm welcomes and personal touches that make you feel right at home.
The food is a real treat – think delicious, well-portioned dishes that blend classic British pub fare with creative twists, and they've even earned that AA Rosette for their efforts.
It's a welcoming spot for everyone, including four-legged friends, with a cosy atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed catch-up or a special occasion.
The drinks are spot on, crafted with care and offering a great selection to suit all tastes.

Cons

It can get quite lively and busy at times, which might not suit those after a quiet, intimate evening.
As with many popular spots, there might be the odd mixed opinion floating about, so it pays to keep expectations realistic if you're after something specific.

We had an incredible experience thanks to Luke! He was incredibly kind and welcoming, and even went out of his way to give us a tour of the pub—which was such a fun and unexpected touch. The drinks were absolutely amazing, clearly crafted with care and skill. Luke made the whole visit memorable. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Hampstead!

Stumbled across this place on after an afternoon walk round Hampstead on my birthday and absolutely LOVED it, mainly due to the friendly staff. Katya was excellent and made such a fuss of our dog, bringing him lots of treats which he loved. Didn’t catch the other man’s name who was working but he was brilliant too. They both made us feel so welcome. We shared a few nibbles and had a couple of drinks, enjoying the great playlist and atmosphere. Highly recommend and will definitely go back!

What a delightful discovery! We saw this pub mentioned on TikTok and decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed! As soon as you’re seated you’re served an adorable plate of fluffy brioche buns with salted butter with parsley. The food was fantastic, delicious and varied. Service attentive and friendly. The pub itself has retained a lot of original structure, rooms and design but clearly really well maintained. My only small feedback would be the fish and chips where the fish tasted a bit too fried as the batter was very dark and crusty. The fish was fresh and tasty though.

I was a little skeptical of my reservation after reading some reviews the day before, I am so glad I did not cancel my reservation! I was there for lunch celebrating my birthday and I can honestly say it was an amazing experience! the food was great and very tasty, the portions were great, not small at all and the service was lovely! this pub is beautiful, has a great vibe and I cannot wait to visit again! Thank you!
