Speight's Ale House

"Thank goodness I booked. Very busy lunch time crowd. But service was excellent as was table attentiveness. Wait time for meals was not too long and the meals absolutely excellent. Can highly recommend the lamb shank and chicken parcel meals."

"Servivce was good, polite staff and the food came out in a fairly reasonable rate. Presentation and taste of the food ordered was great. We went on a Saturday night when there were no sports happening, and the place was fair quite, so worked out well as we also had a child, so wasn't noisy. A decent selection on the kids menu that also includes an ice cream sundae."

"I went here with my boss and it was ok. I got a cider and some ribs with a mash. They were yummy. They have no heaters for vaping outside so smokers wear extra layers. The service was very slack. We weren't happy with the service. They messed up our order and had an attitude with us while trying to correct it. Snapped at us that we hadn't paid for the cider after asking why we never received the gin and tonic my boss ordered when we didn't know what they were up to with putting the cider on the bill but they put the invisible gin and tonic on the bill. Also served us one mash instead of 2 so we had to share so I had left hungry. Overall was an ok experience."

"My husband and our 6-year-old went here for lunch, the waitress seemed rather inexperienced, didn't offer us kids' menu or kids entertainment such as colouring pencil and paper etc. so we went to the counter to ask for them. When the meal we ordered came, my medium-rare steak was cooked to well done, so I showed it to the waitress that this isn't what I ordered, she looked puzzled and asked if I wanted her to take the plate back to kitchen for a redone, I said yes and after a while another waitress came and asked, "you ordered medium rare right? So that steak you sent back do you want us to cook more or cook less?" My husband and I were a bit shocked at the question, maybe she was just being thorough but it seemed more like lacking of basic training/knowledge. Overall the food was acceptable, but the staff interaction (or lacking of it) was rather off putting, we went to a restaurant for a wholesome experience and unfortunately it was not found here."

"Really really surprised by the experience had. Amazing service and fantastic food. A simple bacon and chicken carbonara that rated amongst the best I've had. Muscles as a starter that tasted as fresh as you can expect with a perfect sauce. And a salmon dish really well cooked. Even the seasonal Speights beer was good. Highly recommended for a beer and a bite."
