About our kitchen

We pride ourselves on our food and wine at The Bush Inn, We are firm believers that classic pub food does not need to be mass produced and/or frozen. Everything you see on the menu is prepared in house (unless otherwise stated) from scratch. We aim for an elevated yet approachable dining experience by sourcing premium ingredients and using simple, intentional techniques to highlight their natural quality.

Beef Tallow

When it comes to frying, the choice of fat is crucial. The search for that perfect crunch, golden-brown color, and mouthwatering flavor often takes a lot of trial and error. One ingredient consistently shines in our fryers: beef tallow. Apart from being good for you, and the environment, tallow provides a beautiful savory flavour and the perfect crispy coating
