Bison's Bar & Grill
About This Spot
Stepping into Bison's Bar & Grill on Norton’s High Street, you’re welcomed by a warm buzz that feels both familiar and inviting. The hum of friendly chatter weaves easily with the clink of glasses and the subtle rhythms of background tunes, crafting a space where time slows just enough to savor the moment. It’s a spot where locals gather to unwind, where laughter springs naturally and the pace is unhurried—perfect for a casual catch-up or a relaxed evening out.
The atmosphere here strikes a pleasing balance: lively without overwhelming, comfortable without being too informal. Whether it’s a bustling night out with friends or a quieter lunch, the room carries a steady pulse of genuine connection. The staff move with easy cheerfulness, adding an open and approachable layer that makes each visit feel personal, never rushed.
Food arrives as an extension of this welcoming vibe, hearty and thoughtfully prepared with a nod to classic comfort and a touch of unexpected flair. From tender cuts of sirloin accompanied by crisp fries, to boldly spiced lamb kofta and smoky BBQ brisket dishes, the menu invites sharing and discovery. Signature plates like the parmo variations bring a sense of local tradition, rich and satisfying, while lighter sides and fresh salads offer balance to the generous portions. Every dish reflects a pride in honest, well-loved flavours that work just as well in a lively group setting as they do tucked away in a quieter corner.
For regular visitors, the rhythm of returning to Bison’s feels like settling into a favorite story — familiar, yet with small new delights each time. It’s a place where patience is quietly rewarded, the joy found in good company and dishes that don’t shy away from substance. Here, the experience is about more than just the food and drink; it’s about the human moments shared across the table, the warmth of attentive service, and the easy sense of belonging that lingers long after the meal ends.

After a disastrous experience last week, my friend and i visited again. It was spot on. Thankyou for a delicious lunch, Lee, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Very disappointed. We've eaten here lots of times, but today will be the last. Last week I visited with a friend, we ordered a Bison wrap, which came from the new "small plates menu", the wrap was delicious and the chips were a surprise as we don't normally order them. We visited today, and again ordered the Bison wrap from the same "small plates menu". We were utterly shocked when our food arrived, we received HALF a wrap, a couple of lettuce leaves and no chips, we questioned the waitress, who politely told us, this is the new menu !!!!!! We explained we had ordered the same the previous week, she just insisted this is the new menu. How can you serve half a wrap, the menu states a wrap, not half a wrap. Last visit for both of us.

Update: have returned a few times since this review and have never been disappointed. Yes, sometimes the service could be quicker, but sometimes you have to be patience. The staff are always cheerful and helpful. The food today was just as good as when we first went. Portions are still HUGE! Luckily, being on a diet, I went with a starter and a side in place of a main. Still stuffed! Thanks again Bison! __________________________ It was fantastic! Amazing food, portions were a bit too big, but that just meant my dog got to share in the enjoyment too with our leftovers being boxed up for us to take home. For the amount of food and the quality of the service and atmosphere the price is spot on! 8 of us ate and drank until we could take no more, and spent less than £200! Atmosphere had to lose 1 point as the table next to us had some unruly kids, but that's not really the fault of the establishment. All in all, definitely recommended!

Perfect experience of a night out with friends. It was a perfect balance of great service, lovely atmosphere and absolutely brilliant and delicious food, from starter to dessert! No complaints as always, we all left happy and satisfied. We will be back soon, best steakhouse around!
