Negotiate the steep steps from Heath Street up to isolated, cobbled Holly Mount to this house built in the 1790s by portrait painter George Romney. It was later taken over by Benskins, a Watford brewery, in 1928, and much more recently by Fuller's.
Three low-ceilinged bar areas carry a lived-in feel, the one bar counter purveying pints of Fuller's ESB, Seafarers and London Pride, as well as Harveys Sussex Best, Leffe, Beck's and Blue Moon.
Pimm's and lemonade is a summer treat, as is a spot out front; consult the chalked-up weather forecast should you be pondering another steep climb the next day, perhaps to work off the smartened-up gastropub cooking.

The Hollybush is a gem of a pub - still a maze of separate rooms, snugs and nooks - good beer too (rare sighting of Harvey's in the wild in London) - just don't try the food. There's The Horseshoe 200yrds away if you're after that.
I went last night with a group of friends. Food was disappointing. Pies were dry, steak was poor quality and lukewarm. It used to be better
Great pub, good selection of beers and fantastic meals and service.Glad FTP call it my local....
Not worth the visit, and very disappointed with the food quality overall. Booked in for a Sunday roast and ordered the Pork Belly, which was delivered to the table as a congealed gelatinous mass - the crackling was uncooked and wobbled like a jelly on the plate, and was almost raw. Speaking to other diners in the place, they also remakred on the very poor food - with most leaving theirs uneaten. I couldn't eat the pork, it was so undercooked, and on asking, it's "the way they cook it".
An absolute waste of food and strongly recommended to avoid the place. The Freemasons Arms down the road is much nicer !
Really bad service. Order food, wait for ages for it and then its cold. Waste of time go elsewhere.
