Came on a weeknight, still pack with people, we have to sit I one of the high table as the dining area are fully booked! Been here a. Few times meal are good quality and reasonable price. I would recommend here for a causal dinner or friends to share platters and few drinks! I see others order a beer platter which is rather interesting! However personally not a beer fan, I will stick with my gin and tonic…

Living in South Auckland, we don’t have an extensive list of bars and restaurants compared to the inner suburbs. So when Speights Alehouse popped up by Lunn Ave, we had to try it. Having been several times now, I can definitely say I’m jealous of the locals! They have a great variety of dishes, and I especially enjoy their burgers, salads and ribs. It’s great not having to drive all the way into town for a decent meal. Love the chilled out vibe, attention to detail and atmosphere here! We try to come just before lunchtime on the weekends, before it gets busy and we can pick whichever table we like– I love sitting in their outdoor area on a hot day. Great for couples, families or groups for any occasion– there is something for everyone here.

We came here for lunch on a rainy Saturday and spent the afternoon snug under one of their outdoor heaters in the covered outdoor area. The food was delicious, although a bit expensive. Would recommend the Hayman’s steak and the smoked chicken salad(this was not a boring run-of-the-mill salad — the best one I have had in a while). The thick cut chips are also a winner! The wine and beer list is extensive so there is lots to choose from. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The décor is interesting with several cool seating options and cosy dim lighting. Overall, this pub is a great addition to the Stonefields area.

Overall, it’s a pretty standard, run-of-the-mill pub and alehouse found in suburbia Stonefields. It’s great if you want to quench your post-work thirst. Nice indoor décor, low level lighting, standard speights design which does transport you nicely to central Otago. Standard drinks on tap, with reasonable food. Great chips! Nothing outstanding about this place, but then again, nothing particularly bad about it, hence the three stars. This place is getting pretty popular, so often on a Thursday/Friday can be a little difficult to find a table if you’re in a big group.
