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.

Great food with fast service and comfortable and spacious rest. Many kind of wines and beers from the region and all New Zealand.

We had heard wonderful things about the hotel and experienced it for ourselves. The meals were fantastic and generously portioned, and any leftovers we couldn't finish were nicely packed into a doggy bag. The menu offered a wide variety of options at reasonable prices. John Matchett and his fiancée have put in a lot of effort to ensure everything looks immaculate. The restrooms were exceptionally clean as well.
