Named after a butterfly that flits over the Hampshire countryside, our cosy pub restaurant is full of rustic appeal, from its oak-beamed interiors to its wildflower-edged garden terrace. We’re located in Beggarwood, a village near Basingstoke, making us a perfect spot for leisurely lunches in our beer garden or a refreshing drink after a long tramp through the surrounding countryside.

There’s no finer time to gather your favourite people — and no finer place to do it than The Holly Blue at Christmas. From fireside feasts with family to glittering get-togethers with friends (furry ones welcome too), our doors are open for every kind of celebration this season.
We’re now taking bookings for the most magical dates in the festive calendar — so whether you’re raising a glass on Christmas Eve, settling in for a splendid Christmas Day, or toasting to the New Year in style, we’d be delighted to host you.
It’s never too late to plan something unforgettable. After all, memories this merry don’t make themselves.

Here at The Holly Blue we take our food seriously, whether it’s a generously-portioned classic Sunday roast, a tempting light lunch, or a memorable evening meal for a special occasion. Our chefs work with seasonal ingredients to reinvigorate traditional pub food, offering familiar favourites alongside imaginative fine dining dishes. That means hand-cut chips, sumptuous specials, and luscious puds you won’t want to share.








Drink in the taste of the Dorset countryside by sampling our Badger beers, which were first brewed by local farmer Charles Hall in 1777. Created from hops, malted barley, and pure spring water that’s naturally filtered through the chalk downs of Dorset, they’re a firm favourite. At The Holly Blue, we offer a full, distinctive and delicious range, including our new Outland beers, which are imaginatively flavoured, and far from ordinary.
