Bullock Restaurant & Bar

We were served off food. No other way to say it.

I was given an off prawn from the entree which had to be thrown back up, it wasn't just bad, the prawn was completely rotten. You could tell it had been frozen past the use by date as it was still half frozen when I tried to eat it....

Unfortunately that is not the worst of it. Other members of our table shared a Cobb loaf and all 3 of them were sick. The child with us was so violently ill that he needed time of school. After each spew he would mention all he can taste is the cob loaf.

The simple fact you still charge absorbent prices and serve up rotten food should be enough to steer people away. There are much better restaurants in Timaru that not only serve much better food, they are cheaper. I'm happy to pay good money for good food, but this place is an absolute joke. Health authorities should be looking into the food preparation here as there is clearly something very wrong.

We ate Monday 31st May 2021

So so impressed! Not over crowded with tables, didn't have to wait long in the bar before a table for our group was ready (we didn't phone ahead to book), staff were friendly and service was quick. Meals were massive and well priced. Downsides - Not a massive bar menu to look at and no spirits other than rtds are listed on the menu, decor leftovers from previous restaurant are a let down and feel tacky. Pity the restaurant vibe isn't up to their fab meals!

Busy place but still good service & great food. Appreciated it wasn't an issue to change food around due to our fussiness.

The meals were delicious, the service very good. Quite expensive & the meals aren't as big as they used to be. But we will return for sure.

We had a 2 night stay in Timaru and went to this Restaurant both nights, we enjoyed the first visit so much we didn't think we could better it so went again the second night and had different choices. The food and service was so good, thoroughly enjoyed our Steaks the first night and Salmon the second night. There is also an excellent choice of desserts. Highly recommend if you are visiting Timaru, for good service and food.
