This is my local and for many years has won the Best Pub Award for Camra in this area.It is well known in the town for its well kept Beer and the large selection it has on offer. The food is as good if not a better reason to visit and if timed right, on a Sunday after the main... More

We looked around the town and found this the only menu which offered a good fish and vegetarian option within a small but varied and distinctive list. Prices were very reasonable an the setting small but nicely atmospheric. The food was well cooked and well presented and a request for clarification of ingredients taken seriously. Both mains and desserts were... More

The Hollybush is always one of the most popular pubs in Alcester. It is made up of small rooms and usually has the fires lit in winter. The real ales are excellent and change regularly. The beer garden is very pleasant in summer. Local groups meet there such as Morris dancers and musicians. Our 5 year old daughter is always... More

Probably one of the very best Sunday lunches I have ever had. The food was superb, atmosphere great and the waitresses were very nice / friendly / on the ball. Medium rare roast beef!

The Holly Bush is a great medieval building built on a narrow plot that extends way back from the road. Go in the main door and you find a corridor disappearing into the distance with rooms off to either side and a garden at the far end. On the left hand side the pub is lively and it's difficult to...
