The Bulrush Bistro

My wife and I visited here for our first post-Covid “Date Night” and overall it was a very good experience, with just a couple of hiccups holding it back from the full five stars. The restaurant has a beautiful location, set in gardens overlooking fishing lakes with views across the Dearne valley and up to Barnbrough Crags and High Melton. It’s nicely decorated and has a large outdoor terrace, perfect for the social distant dinner. Our evening got off to a shaky start. My wife and I are having a non-drinking spell, so are not drinking any alcoholic drinks. Not really an issue normally as there are lots of good non alcoholic beers and several decent Prosecco style fizzes. We emailed them befo...

I never wrote reviews as I just never have time however I keep meaning to regarding this venue as I feel people who suffer from allergies just need to be aware. Please note I am basing this on one afternoon with one specific team other days may present a different picture. We went for a pre booked afternoon tea for a baby shower. Something that is booked well in advance. My baby had quite a bad milk allergy and I am breastfeeding so have to avoid milk. This was forwarded onto them in advance and they can back and said no problem, just one question would you prefer oat or soya milk for your coffee with the afternoon tea? I thought great they know what they’re doing. On arrival they found out...

First time visit and first impressions were excellent. Venue superb and friendly greeting. Just called for a light lunch sandwich we thought? Coffee and cake perhaps? Seated promptly but really disappointed with the choice on the menu. Very elaborate food and prices to match. Considering it was lunchtime a very very limited choice. Not everyone wants a massive posh gourmet meal at dinner time. Settled for a panini which when eventually arrived (very long wait!! was very nice and tasty. But at £10.95 it should have been!! Coffee very nice. Overall Id recommend having an alternative daytime menu to go with the other one which looked superb for an evening meal. You’d pull in far more local trad...

We went for lunch yesterday and came away feeling like we've had our pants pulled down. Lovely place and the staff are amazing however £50 for 2 burger and chips plus 4 drinks 3 soft. Disappointed the burgers weren't home made for £16 each. We ordered the wild boar burger with brandy sauce. After 30 mins the lady asked what sauce we would like as there's no brandy sauce. We had mayo. The menu Is very basic nothing like the images on the website no steaks etc. When you pull into the car park the first thing you see is a dog laid on an old ripped leather sofa outside the rear of the property not good first impression. The patio is full of weeds and needs some TLC. Sorry won't be returning. Réservez une table maintenant

Driven past this place lots of times always thinking we need to try it, so today we did after my daughter recommended it. Absolutely lovely. We were warmly greeted on arrival, give a table for 2 with great views of the lake. Ordered a latte, 2 full English breakfasts, a tea, orange juice and water. Everything was first class, lovely drinks, food was great and everything felt excellent quality even down to the cutlery. Customer service was spot on. Lunch and evening menus looked great, we will be back to try those plus one of their theme nights. The whole place was spotlessly clear, toilets were immaculate and lots of parking. Absolutely nothing to fault, would recommend, thanku.

Been to the Bistro for lunch today. The food presentation is very good but overly expensive for what is served over a lunchtime service and most of the menu was fish and seafood based. However, my main concern was that I did not feel as safe as I should have regarding COVID-19. There was hand sanitiser outside and a one way system employed but the room between tables was unchanged which meant that diners were passing close to the edge of the table to get out. Also although one of the waitresses had a mask on continuously a younger one had her mask more round her neck than on her face and also kept passing the edge of the table without it in situ to clean other tables.

Was a little uninspired to be fair though I appreciate it was a Monday lunch it was empty There wasn’t much on lunch menu that inspired us Ended up with a sandwich with Monterey Jack and chutney it was just a bit bland The Mayo given was tasteless the coleslaw was mixed with this too and had no seasoning £13 for a sandwich is a tad steep Id come back and have another go for some of the specials that I saw on FB but it was just a little uninspiring

Went today for brunch. Warm welcome at the door and taken to a table for two with lovely country views over the fishing lakes. Good selection, we chose eggs Florentine that were cooked to perfection. Delicious coffee. The place was quite full and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. The full breakfast was popular and looked lovely, if filling. Definitely recommended.

Just got home from a lovely family lunch at the Bullrush Bistro in Barnburgh. Excellent food well presented by efficient knowledgeable staff. We even took a takeaway lunch home for our son. As a family we had a mixture of food and all dishes were top class and cooked to order. Well done The Bullrush. Lovely to have such a lovely place within walking distance

Recently visited for Sunday lunch, party of 4 a last minute booking. Delicious food, really pleasant surroundings and spotless clean. Scallops starter was really lovely, i had the lamb rackfor main course which again was delicious, and an excellent choice of yummy desserts. I would definitely recommend this Bistro and hope to return soon.
