The Holly Bush Inn

Had a great Mother’s Day meal here, friendly and quick service, lots of Gluten Free options and the food was great.

REPLY TO OWNERS RESPONSE In reply to the owners comment following my review, I can categorically say that that wasn't what your waitress informed us back at the table after she'd spoken to the chef. So perhaps it wasn't made clear to her or she didn't understand and relayed it back incorrectly. Therefore my daughter, who's birthday we were celebrating and who has the gluten allergy, then felt very restricted on what she'd have liked to eat - both for her starter and the main course - due to the incorrect information given from the waitress. -----‐--------------------‐-----------------------------‐---------- We recently enjoyed a lovely meal at The Hollybush. The only concern we had, which was a major concern for us was the limited knowledge that the chef had regarding his gluten free items. My daughter has a gluten/celiac allergy and asked about an item on the menu that stated it was gluten free. After the waitress went to check with the chef to find out whether the gf option was fried in the same oil as the non gf option, the chef told her that it was fried in the same oil as the gluten is burnt off/destroyed by the heat over 180°. Seriously.......had someone taken the chef at his word who had a gf allergy then this would have made them seriously ill. It is known that the temperature needed to destroy gluten are so high that the food would be burned, charred and inedible.....so definitely not at 180°. Please get your chef to take more interest in the options you are claiming to be gf when some of them clearly aren't.
