Reviews of The Bull Ring

One of the greatest Steak & egg burgers in the Country hands down, Inch thick rib eye medium rare, juicy as and suitably priced. If you want your egg runny, best to ask for it. Couldn’t get my gob around it, but somehow woofed it down like it was the last food on earth, have to be quick else the buns will get soggy, very juicy. Located on a tricky bend on Highway 1, but Worth the stop!

I stopped in for a late lunch, got the biggest steak burger I have had in years that had a really nice tender large hunk of steak in a nice bun and and all the toppings you would expect in a top quality steak burger, pretty of truck & trailer parking, I am definitely stopping here again for another meal

Lance and the team do an awesome job at The Bullring. Great value, really nice people and its our regular go to place in South Waikato. Their burgers are fantastic and real value (the old kiwi style burgers). Highly reccomended, whether your local or just passing through.

Absolutely love the food here! Amazing service everyone is so friendly and helpful! The toasted sandwiches are amazing, so is the fish! The ice creams are absolutely amazing, I always get one before I leave. Me and my family go here quite often and we always enjoy our meals!

The affordable refreshments and peak-summer heat in the shed-like back room was a great place to kickoff our stag do with a bunch of sweaty lads then kicking onto Taupo!
P. S.
Great place to stop when they have truck parking can be busy at times top Mark's to the staff there always smiling

T.
Great place for a pit stop. I have been here a couple of times now and the service is prompt and the food is pretty good. I'd rate the fish burger as being pretty darn good! Would definitely go back for another!!
C. C.
Stayed with my work crew for the night, advice for next time... bring food, drinks and ask for the wi fi password because of the no reception 😅 but yeah it served its purpose in the end 👍
M.
Amazingly generous toasted sandwiches. Three layers of bread and copious fillings.

D.
Good sized meals at a great price
C. B.
Stayed the night here with friends. Found the management very helpful and friendly. The accommodations are very clean and comfortable tho basic. The food is simple but some of the best we have tasted! Although close to the highway we hardly noticed the road noise. They have a small dairy as well as the pub and lodge.
S. R. (. T.
Food was great staff fantastic unusual spot right on the bend with cars and trucks barreling past but alright wouldn't stop there overnight
C. J. D.
Great food and friendly staff and service. Even has a bottle store which is very convenient. We'll worth a visit, definitely recommend.
d. k.
If you haven't been here in the last 2 or 3 years add it to your list of must stop places. The owner and staff are friendly helpful and polite. But the food was amazing best burger and chips I have ever had the toasted sandwiches are awesome as well. I will never drive past without stopping again.
S. A.
Always wanted to have a Trucky Bikey style meal here. Enjoyed the Scotch Fillet 2 eggs and chips for a hearty breakfast. Great way to start the day.
C. M.
Stopped here for a meal on the way home recently, the team were all lovely to deal with even though we turned up half an hour before closing time. The food was really good, like home cooking. Highly recommend. Good pool table too.
K. B.
My partner and I went away for labour weekend, we ended up driving much further and for much longer than expected. We tried to find somewhere to stay overnight and finally stumbled across this place.
New owners and hardly even up and running but took us in for the night. We hadn't eaten dinner yet and it was about 8pm, there's not much around to go and get food. Their restaurant was closed but still staff were willing and happy to cook us up something to eat. Rooms tidy and clean, had a nice hot shower in the morning and a coffee. Amazed at the great service! Would definitely stay again.
Thank you so much.
J. J.
Great place for a cuppa, a tasty cakie and break from the driving. Super-nice and helpful staff.

Called in today for breakfast. Food was good. Friendly staff. Just a shame about the tv, need the volume low please or better still, off. Otherwise would have got 5 stars.
G. K.
Stopped for lunch.....had the best burgers in a long time. Egg burger and
the biggest steak burger I have ever seen. Fresh, tasty, and very reasonably priced. Friendly service with a smile. Will call in again

Awesome place
Great food
D.
Always get good service here

A great place to stop on your travels as plenty of parking & space for kids to get a run around or play on the playground. Clean bathroom facilities for customers. A 'quick to go' kiwi style menu plus a grocery shop for convenience foods. Liquor store attached and a bar. Very country Kiwiana atmosphere. They had a wood burner stove burning the day we stopped in which was nice on a cooler day. Newspapers, TV going & mags to use while having a break. We had toasted sandwiches and they were very nice. Coffee was pretty good too.
E.
Very good coffee ☕ burgers and chips
M. P.
Classic NZ country pub... friendly service, decent hearty food, fire place and a few kids toys too. Just want we wanted for dinner on the way through. Will visit again.

This visit was 15 September 2016
Honestly we stopped at this restaurant because it had advertised on the outside that inside they offered venison sandwiches. I couldn't pass that up before I left New Zealand. Unfortunately they had that item scratched from the menu inside due to new owners recently taking over the place. I was disappointed but I had a hungry family to feed.
So, myself and my two children had burgers and my wife had lamb curry pie. So, I've been ranting about the non fast food burgers I've had in New Zealand and I was extremely surprised that this burger fit into that category. It was awesome!
I've been describing the beef patty to many as this: In the US we bite a chunk off and have to chew it up. But, every non fast food burger place we visited the beef melted in my mouth. I guess either they get there meat fresh from the butcher every day, or there is something special about New Zealand burgers in general.
Nothing I ate tasted frozen, everything tasted fresh except the fries (chips). I would recommend this restaurant in a heart beat to anyone.
Just remember, no venison sandwiches.
B. W.
Good friendly service always has what I want or need to get buy
B. J.
Great coffee earlier signage could be of advantage had to do a u turn. Plenty on the menu.
B. T.
Haven't stopped in there for very long time ...
I found it to be clean and the service was fast. The staff were friendly which means I'd gladly stop in again.
P. a. R. A.
Awesome place to eat, massive ice creams and the toasted sandwiches are so good
A. C.
Had the steak meal, absolutely brilliant, very friendly host, will be back next time we are up this way, 😀
m. s.
We stayed at the Bullring Atiamuri for a few nights early June (Winter) and found the Rooms warm at night and a very comfortable bed, nice clean and tidy Amenities. The Cafe meals being Dinner at night and Breakfast were very nice, plenty of and good value. Lance and his team were very friendly and most helpful. We will definitely be coming back. Don & Marilyn Scott (Warkworth)

Friendly people, their ice cream cones are freekin huge an delicious. Single scoop, looked more like triple scoops. Thoroughly enjoyed. To top it off, clean toilets 😁 winning.
c. g.
Always awesome girls had cooked meals I had my usual and awesome as.....a little hidden secret is the ice creams shakes and coffees rock..
d. c.
Great little cafe and bar, as all as accommodation. You can just have a shower as well if you're in a camper van. The bottle shop had a good variety, as does the convenience store. It's a one stop shop!
D. N.
Amazing people and great service from the team. Convenience store, bar, restaurant and accommodation onsite. Delicious home made burger meals
V. M.
We stopped off on our way to Whakapapa and what a treat it was. We had burgers, all day breakfast, a toasty and chips. Then we got some cakes and sweets for the rest of our journey. We are already trying to work out how we can get another visit in on our way back to Auckland in a few days!
P. S.
We stopped for lunch last Saturday. The weather was cold and raining but inside the fires were burning and we had the best toasted sandwiches I have had in a long time. Service was great. Don't go past here because you are in for a treat
H. S.
An ok stop off along the way. Coffee was average, staff were friendly to the customers but not to each other. Has a playground and selection of scoop ice-cream, outdoor and indoor seating.
M. J.
Called in for a beer on a hot day. Awesome. Nice and cold.Lance was a great host , stopped and chatted. They have a cafe, meals available and a small shop of snacks and supplies. Accommodation also available.
Well worth the stop.❤
M. C.
Was great stop for breakfast has a pub also didn't have a beer though lol
D.
Fantastic food will visit again for sure
B. H.
Seems to now be called the Bull Ring Tavern. I've given it 4 stars mainly for convenience. If you don't have high expectations then you won't be disappointed. It's the only stopping place on this road and a welcome place for us to grab a coffee and cake. OK, yes, it's pretty basic but the toilets were clean and well stocked, the service was polite but unexcepional. Don't knock it. These people are working hard to provide you with a good service and it can't be easy in such a remote place.
B.
Nice and clean awesome service 👌
J. G.
Had the Bush burger which had everything in it including a steak. I struggled to finish this, but the bloke powered thru his. Great tasting burger and kiddo had a very healthy portion of hot dog and chips from kids menu. Cheap as too
P. E.
Quick service, friendly staff. Coffee and cake good but only ate cabinet food.
C. T.
Good location, good service and variety of consumables. Need to keep parking area pothole free and make WiFi available to cafe customers. Vodafone Internet and phone reception non existent.
G. S.
Try this. Stop in the middle of the Tokoroa forest and look for food. Go no further than The Bull Ring. Got to be the best toasted sandwiches this side of the black stump. A great little breather on highway 1.
D.
Very nice people and great service
L. F.
Great little place in between putaruru and taupo situated in the forestry providing a tranquil setting.
Was missing music and was very hot sitting under a tin roof in the sun but a great rest stop on your journey..plenty of parking...meals available
K. B.
Worth to stay there, little bit far and isolated from city so if you have car then only prefer.
You will get room for 3-4 guests in back packer rate
G. R.
Delicious food and friendly staff, great store also

Good place to spend a weekend with a lot of people. Great facilities including a fireplace. Wifi is good and playground/field for the kids. Also a bar, dairy and liquor store there which is also handy
D. D.
Very nice place to grab a drink or more.
Surrounding forest really keeps things nice and cool.
Only problem I had was the trucks that were driving by, really noisy.
N. M.
Halfway between Tokoroa and Taupo this was a surprise find while passing through from Wellington. Fronts as a roadside Restaurant/ place to get a meal or - take-away food, but ... also has modern clean accommodation out back as well. Check it out, this is Excellent value
