Speights Ale House

We did start off looking elsewhere for a lunch time meal but were disappointed to be told that there was a 45 minute wait to get a meal. No on the deck dining either as there were 5 couples waiting to sit at a vacant table? Stuff that, popped next door to Speights and had a great time. I really don't know why others bother with the establishments close by, these guys and girls are great.

Absolutely loved it. Customer service was excellent, all staff went out of their way to make our night very enjoyable. Baby dropped her dummy and waitress was straight over to ask if she could wash for us. We asked for nunerous things like salt pepper sauces straws etc and staff were kept on the feet from us but always kept a smile extremely friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and not much of a wait. Had a great spot up on the balcony overlooking the beach. Traveled from the wairarapa but if back in the area we will definitely be back. Owners should know how lucky they are to have such great staff. Best we have had in such a long time and we have dined all around the world. Thanks guys

Celebrated daughters birthday on a Friday night, surprisingly quiet even at 6.30pm Cocktails: Martini Espresso - very strong Pina Colada - loved too much Cosmopolitan - heaven Mojitos - no crushed mint leaves, not very well made but can't complain got free ones Starters: Bread & Dips - yum. Ale House Garlic & Cheese Loaf - yum just a bit too greasy with melted cheese & butter. Mains: 4 x Pork Rib meals 🙄. Ribs were ok nothing spectacular. x1 Pasta of the day. Little spicy for hubby's bland palette but nothing left on the plate. Dessert was happily packed into containers by staff to takeaway. Service was good, staff friendly and attentive.
