The Speight's Ale House Petone

Has great pub style meals with good portion sizes. I enjoy there winter comfort food, favorites are the lamb shanks, or pork belly with chips.

We visited on an extremely busy night, the staff had a fully booked night ahead. They were extremely accommodating fitting us in. Great service and lovely staff, was quite noisey however as it became busier. Plates were huge and very filling.

Real family friendly spot. Great for an afternoon roast and a nice drink with friends. They only serve Spieghts, which includes their faux craft beer range but other than that she's great you should give it a go.

Have gone here to watch the rugby so it's always busy. Beer selection could be better as its a lot of watered down faux craft beer. Food is good though and on top of that it is very located and offers a standard, consistent service so you always know what you are getting.

When we went we had to sit at a bar leaner becasue there was no tables. I hot the steak which was very disappointing. Tough, over cooked, grisley. Wasnt a fan of the fake mash it was served with.There was a long wait. Food is pricey for qaulity. It took 15mins for a waiter to serve us. The entres were tasty. And the staff were friendly.
