The Holly Bush is an historic traditional pub in Hampstead. Offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Central London, The Holly Bush is well worth the visit.

The interior retains traditional decor, from the open toasty fires to leather banquettes and dark wood furnishings. On a warmer day, head outside where you can relax in the sunshine and enjoy a pint or two.

The menu celebrates the best of British produce, and The Holly Bush has been awarded The AA Rosette award for culinary excellence. The dishes feature a symphony of flavours, from classic British pub fare to innovative, globally-inspired dishes.

Roasts at The Holly Bush are the stuff of legend in the local area – choose from options such as corn fed chicken supreme with stuffing, or roasted rump cap of beef, served with roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Make sure you leave room for dessert, where the menu features classics with a decadent twist, including sticky toffee pudding souffle or apricot & chocolate bread & butter pudding to share.

Hampstead Underground is just down the road, less than five minutes away.

    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.

    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!

    Super lovely pub! The Sunday roast wasn’t what it was a few years ago, and they don’t let you choose a temp on the burger. Well done only. Flavors were lacking but it’s an idyllic pub. Best sticky toffee pudding I’ve ever had though
