Hollybush Inn - Caerphilly

Re booked this venue as had such fabulous food and service the last time. But sorry won’t be going back in a hurry. The pub was cold radiators not on at all. Service was very slow and when we did order the waitress had to return twice as they were out of some of the meals ordered. When the meals arrived everyone at the table commented on the chips they were a funny shape and looked like mini celery sticks (not very nice at all). We ordered desserts and again they were out of some of the items. I don’t know if this pub has changed hands since we were last there but if it has bring back the people who ran it before.

Came for lunch today 22/12. Party of 9. Food was stunning. Staff very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Party of fourteen had our lunch here today after our Christmas walk. The management and staff were particularly helpful in rearranging our seating arrangements, as a result of us bringing a couple of dogs with us. The food was good and plenty full. Service was quick. Staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend and would use again.

I'd never been to this pub before but my dining partner said we should go. The pub is only small with a small car park to the side. we were there early evening and there were a couple of people dining there already. We were given a warm welcome and ordered drinks, then sat at a table with the menus. It was so cold outside that I wanted a coffee to warm me through and was served a delicious Latte. The menu though not extensive was appetising and I chose Chilli with half and half and my partner had the Rump steak. These meals came quite quickly and were hot and well proportioned. My partners steak was excellent and not an ounce of fat on it! My Chilli was really nice and we ate the lot!! The service was brilliant and we will be back soon!! Thank you.

We visited the last weekend of March for Sunday Lunch. Tried to call to see if there was any availability but there was apparently trouble with the phones so was asked to book via messenger which I did. When we arrived they had no information of our booking which we had made and had been confirmed. Plenty of tables available anyway so not a problem. We sat down , and told there were no menus as they were being printed so server read out the options. menu could have been written on the empty blackboard in the dinning area). We both ordered the roast beef dinner. Extremely disappointed is an understatement. One small slice of very dried beef, a Yorkshire pud which contained a stuffing ball which I couldn’t even cut with my knife, veg was minimal and well over done. I dont expect Michelin level food but at least something decent for the above average price we paid . Probably the worst Sunday lunch I’ve experienced in the area and especially from this Inn. Certainly wont be going there again. Much better options in and around the area. Sorry but I have to be honest
