We decided to have dinner and drinks at Bully Hayes over the long weekend because it was able to accommodate our walk-in number of 14 people. The spot out the front was lovely on a warm evening, looking out at the water and people watching. The service was a bit slow but we put it down to our large group (and possibly low staff numbers?) Food was fine - most people were happy with what they ordered except the fish tacos apparently weren't up to scratch. Recommend trying the squid tentacles.

My friend and I visited this restaurant over this weekend. What I remember the most was the large and yummy bowl of prawn linguine. My friend had some wings while her little one had some chips and battered chicken which were just as yummy. The team there provided some coloring items for their young customer and we appreciated this. I understand that the day could have been a busy one and they were busy. We still appreciate your effort in serving us. Thank you.
Best bread board I’ve ever had. Bread was really good quality and Charred to perfection. Dips complemented each other so well, the beetroot and feta dip was insanely tasty! Would high highly recommend. Tempura prawns were also very tender, juicy and delicious. Very pleasantly surprised. Would definitely order again!
Wow, food was great. Service awesome and friendly staff. Good gluten free options. Would go again. Creme Brule the nicest I've had.
I had a unfortunate experience with 2 large black hairs in my seafood chowder. They did offer to replace it but l declined instead took a refund of which was 1.50 short so l assumed they assessed l drank 1.50 worth of soup. Would l eat there again? Probably as the food is good. P.S. When l rang the manager the next day he suggested they were mussel bairds(6 in long and black) l think not.
First of all I am pleased they didn't change the name of the restaurant for Bully Hayes was a typical 19th century sailor of fortune. I enjoyed sitting in the sun quaffing a pint of beer or two, watching boats sail by. Lovely atmosphere and view. Bully Hayes has captured the French/British rivalry and staff were fascinating to talk too. They appeared to be Punjabis from India and very entertaining. Food was of a good standard. I can thoroughly recommend a visit, a drink and a meal
Great meal if seafood is your weakness. Go support our beautiful country!
Great food and service. However, not keen on bully's background history...did he murder his wife and child? Surely there are true kiwi heroes ...is a name change in order?
