Ordered 1 BBQ rib, 1 shear Salmon, 1 kitkat cheesecake, 1 glass of wine. All cost around 100$. All good except BBQ rib. Rib is dried, not juicy, little overcook I think, and the spieces didn't go into the rib yet. So we don't really like it. But salmon is perfect with salad. Kitkat cheesecake is one of the best I have ever tried. I have eaten alot of cakes around the world but still love this kit kat cheesecake. Highly recommend this salmon and cheesecake.nFriendly staffs, Big spaces but the next table is sooo noisyyyy
The service is enthusiastic. The cooking technique is very good. The fried chicken was juicy. The venison was very tender. The grilled pork ribs are delicious. For us the portions are huge. Great value for money.nnProbably staff shortage. The only surprise is that we spent two nights in Timaru. The waiting time in both restaurants was very, very long, more than 45 minutes.
Bullock Restaurant & Bar, a warm inviting dining experience that you won’t leave hungry from.nnI have been dining at bullock for years and they have always served reliably delicious and filling food at a reasonable price. Bullock has an almost homely atmosphere that leans into a rugged country vibe.nnThey serve a good range of food and we started with Entrée’s of the Bullock custom cob loaf and the Crumbed Bocconcini. They were served promptly. The cob loaf had a delicious creamy corn and cheddar filling that’s great for sharing with a group but was slightly burnt on the top of the bun. The Bocconcini I have had three times in the past and while it was as delicious as ever the presentation left a lot to be desired. Where in the past they were laid out on a plate covered in colourful decretive smears of sundried tomato aioli and balsamic reduction, this time they were carelessly thrown into a bowl on top of a piece of lettuce with the sauce on the side which was an unfortunate drop in quality.nnI ordered the Venison and was not disappointed while it doesn’t come with an abundance of actual meat in the dish, the way it is prepared, the presentation and the exciting range of flavours that all play of each other perfectly to create something truly wonderful and delicious that was a joy to eat. The mushroom with the beetroot and the venison topped with juniper berry jus is not a combination I would have ever thought of, but it is something I will not easily forget.nnThe Chicken and Sundried Tomato Fettuccine was not such a hit initially. A dish that I have had here many times before and am normally extremely satisfied with was severely lacking. Something was missed or done incorrectly in the cooking process and was very noticeable. The dish was sent back to the kitchen and although the response relayed back from the kitchen was quite dismissive and sceptical once asked for a new one to be made it was completed promptly and without complaint. Upon receiving the replacement, it was confirmed by the waitress our concerns where not unfounded and that the first dish had been made incorrectly.nnThe waitress we had was pleasant to engage with but appeared to be quite nervous and forgetful she was more than likely inexperienced and will improve her customer service skills with more training and experience. I ordered a Raspberry coke with my dinner but was instead delivered a very flat and tasteless coke. Although I had no more than a sip and mentioned this issue to the waitress I noticed after leaving on the receipt that I had still been charged for the drink which was quite disappointing.nnWhile I have eaten at Bullock many times before and will many times in the future, this dining experience was overall a let-down. Hopefully the dropping, of what has been in the past, very high standards is merely a one off rather than a decline into mediocrity.
Tasty meals, large portions, and quick service. The only thing I would say is the smallest tables are a bit too small, and they felt slightly too high and made eating with the cutlery slightly awkward. But overall great service and great food!
Absolutely beautiful, the staff were amazing and the inside is cozy. I ordered the seafood chowder it was delicious and then had the ribeye steak, I wasn't a big fan of the steak itself but everything else delicious
