Speights Ale House Tower Junction

Love coming to the speights ale Houses so that I can have a good cider, more placed should serve it! I thought the staff here we're very attentive and the pricing was ok. For main I ordered the southern man steak. It was huge! Everything on the plate was cooked well. The steak was delicious and went really well with the salsa Verde which was packed with flavour. The mashed potatoes were good and loved them with the onion gravy. The vegetables were nice too. My husband ordered the coconut and blue caracao cheesecake for desert. It lacked flavour and the base was hard and flavorless.

Went for a meal with my family. Staff were extremely helpful at seating us and accommodating all our different food allergies. They were able to make sure that some of the meals were gluten free, dairy free or egg free. Nothing was a problem. Meals were excellent to look at especially the burgers and chips being served on chopping boards. The children loved them. I had a pasta dish which was nice but the salad was very small and contained mainly watercress. All up an enjoyable lunch in a relaxing place. I would especially like to thank all the staff serving us; THANK YOU!

Went to Speight’s Ale House for lunch today, I decided to try the Kumara, Date, and Pear salad while my family got the classic kiwi meals. Food was lovely, could tell that the fish was frozen but that is common now in restaurants. Also a pleasant atmosphere outdoor or inside by the fire on the cooler days.

The menu is almost too big (not actually a bad thing) so it takes you ages to decide on what to have, because too much looks too good. So basically I just need to return heaps! First time dining I ordered the ribs, and because they are only made more awesome by being an entertainment book location, I went screw it, I 'll get the large. Well when that platter, yes platter of a meal came out, we couldn 't stop laughing at the size of if! Waaaaay too much food for one chick. So clearly I just stated 'challenge accepted '. As my belly started to fill and I said just one more, they seemed to multiply! The ribs were yummy, the 'chips ' (basically roasted spuds) were also delish, couldn 't fault them. My friends steak was also a wonderful meal. Definitely be back. Brilliant pub food!

Went for lunch on a Friday with a group from work. We had pre booked and pre ordered the food. But even after that there was a significant delay in getting the food out. But I must say, the manager did apologize for the delay. The food was presented well, was of good size and tasted good, although the bread that came with the fish pie and soup was a bit tough. The place wasn't crowded at all a couple of tables inside and a few in the outside was all but for some reason the staff seemed very busy, less friendly and detached. The manager did come over and asked how the meals were so that's a tick. The restaurants set up is nice, and I like the fact that you can either sit in the restaurant inside, or at the bar tables or the outside dining area.
