The Speight's Ale House

I dined here while on vacation and spent three nights in Greymouth. This dinner was definitely the highlight. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were welcoming, and the food was excellent.

We went for a drink on Anzac afternoon and wasn't going to eat there due to the previous review but after seeing that they had a four star rating from another website we felt it was worth a try as I have eaten in several Speights Ale Houses in the past and haven't had a bad experience yet. The staff were pleasant and a pleasure to have serve us. The food was also nice with my seven year old commenting that his burger was better than a certain major takeaway chain that starts with M. Personally I don't think it's that hard to beat a burger from them but to get a ten out of ten from a seven year old is a pretty big recommendation. All in all it was a a enjoyable meal. If I had any criticism it would be the disappointment in finding out my sticky date pudding wasn't homemade.... It was nice but could have been better. Well done and we will definitely eat here again.

Lovely Restaurant a nice atmosphere. Toilets were clean the staff were friendly although the waitress did not know what veges were with a meal when we asked (but soon found out) We did not have to wait very long for our meals, which were cooked to perfection and looked great on the plate, good size servings too. Thanks heaps, we will be a repeat customer.

Having dined at five-star restaurants both locally and internationally, I can confidently say that my recent experience at this restaurant was outstanding. From the atmosphere of the beautifully restored venue to the impeccable service and delicious meal, everything was flawless. It was truly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I highly recommend that everyone includes this restaurant as a must-visit during their trip to Greymouth.

Some good and some less good. We started with the pesto garlic sweet chili bread and it was great. Sweet chili was an odd flavor but my companions liked it. I had the triple cheeseburger which was very good. Like the rest of nz your burger comes well done and if you don’t like it you can go pound sand. Good burger though. Chicken burger was delicious. Ham and cheese with pineapple was an abomination. The barbecue sauce is detrimental to the flavor and not listed on the menu. Sandwich could be otherwise solid. Fries came out so hot i thought they were cooked on the surface of the sun but were high quality. Would eat here again
