Far from resting on their BBQ laurels, the team take
taste yet another step further adding in an array of
well thought out and very tasty starters, nibbles and
side dishes, as well as powerful sauces such as
homemade ketchup, bbq sauce and mayonnaise that
really captivate the taste buds and elevate the entire
BBQ dining experience. As they say themselves: “A
barbecue it not complete without the perfect harmony
of the sides, nibbles and sauce flavours. Zingy crunchy
slaw, comforting mac n’ cheese, hand-cut chips,
chorizo sausages, fruity chicken wings, homemade
ketchup and barbecue sauces! Prepare yourselves
for a tasty sensation!”

sausage – plump and juicy with warming hints of
spices, and the spicy bean nachos with raclette cheese

pulled pork in a brioche bun heaving with rich
barbecue sauce was so popular it was shared around
the table; and the 12-hour slow-cooked smoked beef
rib melted in the mouth adding layer on layer of
smokey flavour. Simply divine with sides of hand-
cut chips, homemade sauces, kimchi and slaw
completing the show.

Bull Hotel is all about mouthwatering flavour
combinations packed full of flavour.

dishes demonstrated The Bull’s evident passion for
