What’s Special
Bullara’s magic lies in its deep-rooted connection to the Gascoyne. The Fishers’ menus are a tapestry of place: grass-fed Bullara beef, raised on the station’s pastures; pristine Exmouth seafood, plucked fresh from a friend’s fishing boat; and vibrant produce from a Carnarvon grower’s fields. This paddock-to-plate ethos is matched by a beverage program of equal conviction. Dingo, the house beer, is brewed by a trusted friend, while house wines hail from friend-owned vineyards, and craft spirits from Exmouth’s Whalebone Brewery add a community nod.
