Reckoned to be the 'second oldest licensed pub in the country', the white-painted Holly Bush Inn puts on a good show with its deep-thatched roof, wooden plank ceiling, hefty beams and quaint curios. Dating from the fourteenth century, it has been immaculately preserved, with lots of cosy areas and old-fashioned touches such as a salt cupboard set into the huge inglenook.
The kitchen makes admirable use of local produce, including cheeses from Fowlers of Earlswood (the oldest cheese-making family in England) for a hearty menu that steers clear of gastro-posturing in favour of honest, carefully crafted dishes.
