What Annette Williams doesn't like about The Speight's Ale House:
Bar staff was lovely but food was average. Out of 4 meals only 1 was delicious. Burger buns were dry. No mention of peri peri sauce in burger so one person didn’t enjoy their burger as it was too hot to eat. Ribs were dry and lacking sauce. Completely different to the one in Christchurch Price per person: NZ$40–50 View all feedback. What Gosha K likes about The Speight's Ale House:
This is a cool gastro pub/local. Good selection of beers and local wines. The food, however (at least pizza and burger) were average. The staff is nice. The vibe is cozy. A good place to visit in the evening! View all feedback.
