If you work in the UK, by law your employer MUST give you a contract of employment within 3 months. If they don't then they are breaking the law.
I'd suggest you tell him you will be speaking to a solicitor who will make sure you get Holiday entitlement....and tell him about his lack of contract...you can bet your bottom dollar he will pay up pronto!!!!
BUT....If you walked out of your job with no notice, then he can take your wages if he has to employ ageny workers to cover your job!!!

I would think your boss knows all the rules and they are in his favour. We all cheered when the tories crushed our union rights and now we have very few workers rights and the employers take advantage of every trick in the book. I would think that you have no chance of any holiday pay.

Yes, it's legal. If you have no contract, the basic labor law is that your boss can fire you at any time for any reason, and you can quit at any time for any reason. That's the basic law. Anything extra would certainly need a contract to be enforceable.

If there is no union or stated contract then "more than likely" you have no case. Most jobs you have to be there for more than "their" stated training months, days etc.. before you qualify for holiday pay, vacation time, overtime etc...
Good luck and sorry!

Yes, you left his employment, You usually only get holiday pay if you work the day before and the day after, so if you didn't then you are out.

Sounds like you've been stitched up. If you walked out of the job he may have a case to sue you so be careful. There is statutory notice to consider. He has won this one

I think you should definitely talk to a lawyer about this I am not sure he can do that to you and the way it sounds he isn't a very good businessman so he don't know the ropes himself you may get more money then you think from this
