"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 beforehand about this and asking what they had to offer, but got no reply. When we arrived the staff said they had low alcohol beers, and agreed that we could “BYO” low alcohol wine (we had a bottle in the car) for a corkage fee. All well and good, but when I asked for a low alcohol beer non was available. A couple of minor considerations there. Things improved when the menu arrived. It’s heavily meat based, but otherwise well as the balanced, and has a choice for everyone. It also included some unusual options; such kangaroo steaks, braised smoked ox cheek, and roast haunch of Mouflon. I am a bit of a foodie, but didn’t know what a Mouflon is, so I asked. Problem was the waitress didn’t really know either, suggesting it was a breed of Scottish sheep, which it isn’t as it turns out. Anyway we had Ox Cheek and Mussels to start. Both were excellent, with huge portions! My only quibble is that the Mussels were the large green lipped variety, not the smaller, sweeter North Sea mussels which I prefer, and the menu did not clarify this. However they were perfectly cooked and I enjoyed them. Mains were rack of lamb and a Belgian Blue rump steak. Again both were excellent, and it was good to see the chef naming the breed of the cow which I ate part of. My quibble here is that the menu could have benefitted from a better description. Few diners would have known what a Mouflon is, and a few words about it being a rare and ancient breed of sheep, considered to be the original breed from which all other sheep descended would have been useful, as would telling customers that Belgian Blue is a breed of cattle, and not a style of cooking! Minor quibbles I know, but I highly recommend this place. It’s beautiful, the food is imaginative, hearty, and very well cooked. It’s at the high end of South Yorkshire dining at £10 plus per starter, and £23-£26 for mains, but the food is top quality, and well worth it."

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.

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

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.

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 Visualizza piatti

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.

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.

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. Visualizza piatti

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...

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...

"The welcome we received was pleasant, although not very personal, and our details were not checked, which was surprising considering how difficult it was to secure a reservation. The restaurant is not licensed, so guests are welcome to bring their own drinks. My husband and I brought two bottles of champagne, but we were not offered an ice bucket and were given standard wine glasses instead of flutes. The food was served promptly, starting with an amuse bouche of butternut squash veloute with a creamy accompaniment served in egg boxes. The chef explained the dish himself, and it was delicious. The second course, an aged rice dish reminiscent of a soupy risotto flavored with parmesan and espresso, was my least favorite. I found it poorly presented and the coffee flavor didn't come through well. The third course, a beautifully cooked lamb cutlet finished on a barbecue outside, was accompanied by flavorful lentils. However, the broccoli that came with it was plain and could have used some additional flavor. The dish was not explained to us. The fourth dish, which I initially thought was eel, turned out to be smoked eel and was served with beetroot. This was one of my favorite dishes of the night. We were served two desserts: a warm chocolate foam with orange sorbet and a deconstructed rhubarb custard with pink meringue pieces, both of which were delicious. The bill was not presented to us, so we followed the lead of other guests who left cash on the table as they left. My husband had a nice chat with the chef, and I joined in after a visit to the restroom. The chef was very knowledgeable and skilled with flavors. Overall, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of personality in presenting and explaining each dish. The experience felt somewhat impersonal and lacked interest. I believe guest interaction is crucial, so my tip would be for the restaurant to take the time to engage with guests, even if it means spending less time in the kitchen. I did not give a perfect score due to the presentation and slightly underwhelming flavors in some dishes. I believe that in fine dining, every element of the dish should be bursting with flavor. Despite this, we had an enjoyable evening and would return if we are able to secure a reservation."
