FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT Leisurely
Perched on the edge of the serene Barnburgh Lakes overlooking the scenic Dearne Valley there sits the charming Bulrush Bistro - a relaxed and rustic eatery that is sure to leave you hooked.
Built by the lakes’ owner, Sue and Mark Anderson, two years ago, the Bulrush and its waterside setting was launched to give diners a peaceful place to grab a bite to eat while enjoying the wonderful views. Located in the rural, historic village of Barnburgh, the Bulrush brings the warmth and texture of its natural surroundings inside with stone floors, log burner and mix of chunky wooden furniture.
But the backbone of the experience is of course the food. Having previously worked over in Italy for several years and back in the UK in Michelin-star restaurants, the Bulrush’s head chef, Neil, brings with him continental cuisine and a taste of the Mediterranean while solely using locally sourced fresh produce in his dishes. Start the day off right with breakfast at the Bulrush, with popular choices from around the world. Go Italian with silky Eggs Florentine. Do breakfast American style with fluffy pancakes and cinnamon waffles. Enjoy a proper full English with the Bulrush Breakfast, featuring the award-winning Potters of Barnsley pork and apple sausage.
And it wouldn’t be the fishing lakes without traditional Scottish smoked kippers and scrambled egg. As the sun sparkles over the quiet lakes, enjoy a spot of light lunch with sandwiches, paninis and wraps such as bacon, brie and cranberry or mozzarella, tomato and pesto. Touching on the Italian infusion, the Bulrush also serves up freshly baked pizzas and pasta dishes, too. The daily specials board is filled with tasty ideas from pies and hearty mains to sharing boards, with Fridays the Catch of the Day for fresh fish. For a sweet treat, try one of their homemade cakes with a speciality coffee or book for Afternoon Tea. Bringing a new angle to the bistro, the evening menu is influenced by distinctive Mediterranean flavours and ingredients. Try the Iberico ham béchamel croquettes for starters or grilled crayfish tails with patatas bravas and wild mushrooms for something a little different. Or why not try their new tapas dishes, perfect to nibble with a drink from their fully stocked bar. There’s garlic and chilli tiger prawns, crispy belly pork, cider-cooked chorizo and even mini portions of paella. With Sunday the day of rest, finish off the week in style with one of the Bulrush’s Sunday roasts with meats such as slow cooked lamb shank, 30 day aged beef, French-style chicken and pork tenderloin served with seasonal veg like root mash, roast beetroot and leeks.
And with so much scenery to discover around it, you don’t have to trawl far and wide to find a great experience at the Bulrush Bistro.
