Bulrush

Title: A Truly Unforgettable Experience – Bulrush UK is World-Class As an American visiting from Cincinnati, Ohio, I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Bulrush UK in Bristol with my girlfriend, who’s a local. We were both experiencing it for the first time and opted for the full tasting menu with wine pairings—and it turned out to be the best meal of my life. From the very first bites, we were drawn in. Each dish was thoughtful, creative, and beautifully presented. The early bites were a perfect introduction, packed with flavor and originality. Two standouts for us were the Wagyu beef, which my girlfriend especially loved, and the Ratafia Champagne, which absolutely blew me away. Just to clarify—it wasn’t paired with the Wagyu, but was served earlier in the menu, and it left a strong impression. I’d never had Ratafia before, and now I’ll be chasing that flavor forever. This was also my first time experiencing Ozark-inspired cuisine, and it was eye-opening. The flavors were deeply rooted yet completely fresh. A particularly memorable moment was the cheese ice cream—unexpected, a bit playful, and absolutely delicious. It captured the spirit of the whole experience: bold, inventive, and expertly executed. The service was exceptional—warm, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable without a hint of pretension. You could feel the care and creativity behind every dish and pairing. Bulrush is now my number one restaurant—not just in the UK, but anywhere I’ve eaten. If you’re anywhere near Bristol, do not miss this culinary experience. This review was written a year after I ate there and it is the only place I have ever felt so compelled to write a review. Thank you to all the staff for such a memorable night . I hope to one day return to Bristol and see what new cuisine you have to offer

Fabulous tasting experience with amazing flavours and combinations Not usually a dessert person but both of them on the tasting menu were amazing A wonderful gem

A very beautiful experience, the food was unique and delicious. The mix between different textures was absolutely amazing, and the service was equally amazing.

Ate a vegan tasting menu here and was absolutely blown away. Can’t recommend places highly enough that go the extra mile to accommodate people’s food requirements. The waiters talked us through everything as the table had mixed meals, which was a nice touch. The fact they are able to cater to a vegan diet with a custom menu was incredible, just have to let them know in advance of your booking. The food itself was incredible. The flavours packed into these dishes and the presentation were next level. Everything was done so well. A quality fine-dining vegan meal!

We did their tasting menu with wine pairing. Wine was hit or miss but mostly good. Some dishes were fantastic (lamb belly and carrot donut was my favorite and pigeon was my partner’s favorite) some were not. In general it was very enjoyable! Service was not the top quality though. They forgot about our sparkling water order we made until we reminded them of it until after two courses, dropped my wine glass to the floor while we were dining, and did not remember me and my partner’s different orders for cheese and mince pie which was an additional course we ordered.
