(284)

Our food changes with the season, and is inspired by Japanese techniques and New Nordic traditions. Most of all, we favour substance over style and developing the flavours and textures to celebrate the produce the West has to offer. Our "Bar Bulrush" sits at the back of the restaurant, where we offer a range of cocktails and other drinks to keep the dark nights warm.

Back from a few days on the family farm, and the gooseberries and white, red and blackcurrants are all coming through.

Current plans (forgive the pun) are to lacto ferment the gooseberry for savoury ketchups and chutneys, and ferment the juice to lighten sauces.

With the blackcurrants, nothing does to waste - the juice will be used for pickling, the leaves for ice cream and even the branches will be infused overnight in a warm oven to help extract flavour from wood, making the most delicious oil.

Bulrush 🌾 Did you know this space was originally a greengrocers? After living in Japan and running pop-ups out there, I started looking at Bristol as the place to open my own restaurant. It had a brilliant emerging food scene at the time. My dad called one day to say he’d found a little site in Cotham. We opened Bulrush on a shoestring in 2015 and won a Michelin star three years later…and ten years on, we’re still here, still cooking the food we love.

Thank you for capturing it so well.
