Bloody Burgers is a gourmet burger takeaway at 100 Taupo Quay, Bulls, in the Rangitikei, rated 4.7 from 318 Google reviews. Its website says it serves gourmet burgers and jerk fried chicken made with fresh, real ingredients and no artificial flavours.

A good burger is about balance: a juicy patty cooked through but not dry, a bun that holds together under the sauce, and toppings that add crunch and tang without overwhelming the meat. Choosing a simple cheeseburger first is the best way to judge a kitchen, and sauces like relish, aioli or jalapeño pesto can then add variety on your next visit. Burgers are best eaten hot, so eat soon after ordering, and a combo with fries and a drink is usually better value than ordering separately. Vegetarian and fish options are worth asking about if the group has different tastes.
For travellers breaking their journey in Bulls and for locals, it is a quick, hearty stop for a burger.
