The first time we came here, the waiter told us we could not use Zomato. They were very ill informed and we were disappointed, however we gave it another shot and love the place now.

Visited in a group of 4 on a Monday night. Lively place to be with the pub quiz happening but good atmosphere. Staff friendly and helpful, drink service very fast and meals in good timing considering how busy it was. Food was great, good wholesome pub grub. Zomato was a good saving, we will be back.

Great service though was not busy while there. Pork belly was Cooked well and delicious. The lamb shank was tender while taste was good to average. Recommended the tiramisu which was nice, heavy on the cream however. Would go again, and gold membership definitely makes it worthwhile.

I like this resturant :)
Service is warm and pacient 5/5
Ambience 5/5 it is very bright bar
Burger is a standard taste 4/5- before you eat it you already know the taste of it, pizza 4.5/5 is very cheesy and I love it, will come back to try more pizza. Good beer
The price on the menu is a bit pricy unless you use Zomato Gold :)

Tonight my friend and I had a very tasty meal thanks to @speightsstonefields 😇 I ordered the Southern Man Steak which consisted of Scotch Fillet carved and served with Salsa Verde, Wild Rocket, Parmessan, Onion Gravy & Potato Rosti đŸ™ŒđŸ» This dish was INCREDIBLE 😍 I can see why it’s their most popular meal! The steak was cooked perfectly and I loved the taste of the Onion Gravy đŸ€€ My friend ordered the BBQ Beef Burger which he loved (and is one of my personal favourites)! We also got the Wild Pork Ribs as an entrĂ©e (swipe for the photo)! This was my first time having Ribs and they were amazing!! đŸ€© Overall our meals were great and I loved meeting the manager and other staff members! Everyone was so kind and the atmosphere @speightsstonefields is great! - @delicious.food.finder (Instagram)

SECOND REVIEW:

Wow @speightsstonefields you just get better and better every time I visit đŸ™ŒđŸŒ I’m so happy I joined your VIM (Very Important Mate) Loyalty Program! A solid 10% off the bill made my night 100% better 😝 It’s super easy to join too! Just head on over to their website or sign up next time you visit!
Last night I decided to try a new dish and chose the Lamb Rump served with Potato Gnocchi. I absolutely loved this meal! It was like two meals in one as I got two massive pieces of Lamb Rump and Gnocchi in an amazing Napoli Sauce & Red Wine Jus đŸ·
I also tried the Garlic Pizza Bread w/ Mozzarella Cheese. You can’t go wrong with cheesy pizza so I highly recommend getting this as an entree!
My friends ordered the Pork Belly, Te Anau Pizza and the Steak & Cheese Pie. All the meals were presented really well and tasted divine.
Thank you Adam and the rest of the team at Speights Ale House Stonefields! As always you were so lovely and very attentive 💖

Speights ale house is always a winner a little slice of home in Auckland . Food was on point super delish and generous servings as usual. Can’t fault the food and the staff were super lovely and helpful. Great work keep it up and we’ll be back again soon ... neat time I’ll make sure to keep room

One of our favourite restaurants in the area. We've visited Speight's Ale House many times and have always been satisfied with our meals.  We have also unlocked our Zamato Gold discount a couple of times here recently which is great value!  We love the atmosphere and big TV screens for live sports.  Some of our favourite meals include Pork Belly, Bangers and Mash, Southern-man Steak, Black Cherry Chicken, Pan Fried Fish, Steak and Cheese Pie and Fish & Chips!  Note - they advised me that they will only do Zomato Gold discount for 2 more months and will be off permanently after that.  So be quick, get your Zamato Gold now and if you use this promo code: DESM9104 you will get a 20% discount ;-)

We just love the ambience of this pub which became our ‘regular’ since they opened. Love their fish & chips and mussels being my favourite. I wish they would bring back the old mussels menu with chorizo & tomato gravy. Today’s mussels were in Thai sauce, although good but it would be nice to have the precious menu alongside as another option. Would have given this review a 5 star but service was a bit slow even though it was not peak hours around 1.30 pm ish. We were in no hurry hence didn’t mind the wait.
The bonus is this pub is a participating restaurant on Zomato gold so we will be here even more often!
You can join Zomato gold with 20% discount with this promo code LITTLETD. Enjoy 😉

Ayooo I'm definitely coming back here.

The atmosphere was great, easy parking, our waiter provided us that top notch A1 service.

Only issue was that our food took a very very very long time to come out. And when we were getting served the waiters (not the guy who took our orders) but others kept bringing the wrong dishes and food that wasnt ordered by us to our table and kept taking them away.
Idk if it was a busy night or they were tired I'm not sure but man it kept getting us excited and upset again when we realised it wasn't our food Haha.

But I'll definitely come here again. The ribs were decent but what got me was the huge portion sizes!

Speights Ale House, lets be real - you don’t come for the food. You come for the beers and TV and stay for the staff that begin to feel like family. Charleston beef pizza is amazing - mixed with a cheeky Monday night quiz and a pint or three? Can’t beat it. But seriously, if you’re looking for 5 star food - it’s not that, and most likely never will be. Take it for what it is, a kiwi classic.

Convenient, relaxed, easy parking -friendly attentive staff. There’s a lovely walled semi outside part which with the evening sun is a perfect place for enjoying a beer or a wine as the sun goes down.
Great pub food. I have been here before - consistently good.

Was way too hungry and forgot to get photos of the meals but definitely worth it!
I ate the bbq pork ribs. Came with a massive stack and chips and side salad. Very generous portions!
People at the table bought the bangers and mash (gluten free available!), the pork belly and wedges. Pork belly was cooked to perfection and the only thing the sausages lacked was more salt.

Would definitely come back! Great ambiance and the staff are great

my sister birthday was the 10th Jan so my mother, brother inlaw, sister and me  went to The Speight's Ale House for  lunch. The place was very quiet. the  woman that served us was excellent and she wasn't pushy which is what i like, ,, i ordered and shared the calamari ($18) it was excellent, tasty and tender, i thought the price was a little high but i haven't been to a restaurant in a long time so that might be the going price, , i also had the stack of ribs ($19) ,, the ribs were hot, tasty and tender,  i had trouble eating the ribs,, the first 3 ribs i ate went down great, the rest i struggled eating them, , i think the sauce was too sweet for me and i started to get a sickly taste in my mouth,  my mum ordered the potato wedges ($12) she loved them and they were  the right portion size for her,,  for anyone else, i would say the portion size is very small,.  my sister ordered the Chicken Filo Parcels ($25) , there was 2 good size parcels, my sister said it was really good but she could only eat one,,   i think they should only serve one and drop the price.        my brother inlaw ordered the Seafood Chowder ($25) , i thought that's expensive for soup but my brother inlaw said it tasted great and he didn't mind paying that amount,, he also ordered the garlic pizza bread ($12) ,, he should of read the menu better as he thought it was for the normal garlic bread and not garlic cheese pizza, we also ordered rustic fries ($9) , they were hot and tasty and stayed warm for a long time, the only negative comment i have is the back ground music was a touch too loud, i didn't like their choice  of music but it didn't annoy me and spoil our lunch

Very close to work, so I eat here fairly regularly. It's pleasant, tidy, and comfortable.  Absolute standouts are the vegetarian pita (yeah, I know, can you believe it?) and the lamb's fry, but I go with large groups usually and everyone seems pretty happy with what they order.  It's an unadventurous pub menu, but if you want pub food you could easily do worse. I love beer but am not all that crazy about Speight's (though it's easily the best of the Big Three, i.e. along with Tui and Lion Red). Service is great, kid friendly, employees seem to enjoy their jobs. Prices are a tad steep but nothing truly outrageous.

Great location, excellent customer service, good food and beers. We ordered Angus Beef burger, Seafood chowder, dumplings, Kid’s chicken and fish & chips, calamari, Sunday roast and tasting tray. The food was good except for little things like the thick pastry on dumplings and the crackling of the roast pork was a bit rubbery and not that crispy. A family-friendly place and generally the experience was good.

Nice suburban pub. Given the location it was really humming, quite busy on the Friday night we visited. Food was tasty and served quickly but a little pricey ($18 for the calamari snack plate). Friendly staff and good atmosphere with great live music.

The Speight's Ale House feels a bit underrated (but that's my opinion). Love the atmosphere. The staff is gracious and extremely accommodating. The menu is reasonably priced and lots of great drink options ranging beer to wine. It's also a great place to watch a game.

Dined here for lunch last weekend and was particularly impressed with the service. We evolved in to quite a large group as more friends joined us for a beer after lunch and we had to be reseated to another area. Staff accommodated us really well despite this and were friendly and attentive throughout. Definitely not fine dining, though it's not trying to be. Tasty pub food with very generous servings. I highly recommend the steak and cheese pie.. delish!

Speights is a handy, reliable option when you are seeking a utility venue for a drink or meal. It is good at what it does and the staff are capable, friendly and relaxed. Not fine dining or award winning coffee but good cooking and cold beers. A shame that the Stonefields locals don't appreciate what it is trying to achieve - they seem to use it in all the wrong ways. When it finds its identity, it will become a great spot.

Been here twice now for dinner. I'd have to recommend their beer battered Fish n Chips!! Here at Speights Ale, there is a variety of beers for beer lovers. Food serving size is large in portion, but not too big unlike other pub/restaurants - however it is filling and something you will not complain about. đŸ‘đŸŒ Service is a 5/5. Staff have refilled our water jugs without us having to ask for more. Ambience is 5/5. Live music is calm and not too noisy on a Sunday. It's a very busy restaurant with lots of groups coming in, so if you are to dine here on a weekend, I think it would be best to reserve a table prior so that you are seated in the "calm" area. There is a slight wait on the food, but it will be worth it.

Great location in the growing Stonefields development. It like an old pub but has lots of windows to let in the natural light.
Service was very friendly & efficient from the quiet young man who looked after our table. The lady on the till was lovely too.
They have a wide & varied menu so something for kids, vegetarians, really anyone.
We had the chicken tenders & wedges, fish & chips & the pie & mash. All our meals were tasty, well made & good value. Two of us ordered the crumble for dessert - also really nice & not too sweet.
One of the better gastro pubs we've visited - it seems to have gotten even better over time.

Place was empty apart from my partner and I and one other group of 2 which was fine because it was the middle of the day on a week day, service wasn't great but no one was rude either which is always a good thing. Loved the food though, we only got a few little nibbles like a pizza bread and wedges and some chicken nibbles but it was all delicious and would definitely go back for them. Only thing that would've bumped my rating up is if the staff hadn't seemed quite so arrogant, just sort of felt uncomfortable like the staff didn't want us there

Pretty extensive menu available at lunchtime.  We arrived around 1pm.  Few patrons, music on the unnecessarily loud side.  Wheelchair access pretty good, just a few big threshold lips here and there.  Indoor and covered outdoor seating available.  You need to start a tab or pay in advance if you choose to sit outside.

The steak and cheese pie was excellent (could have used more cheese, but then I tend to say that about anything with cheese on it!).  The onions were wonderful.  Mash and mushy peas underneath the pie--the whole thing was quite attractive.  Not sure what the jus was exactly but it went down well.  Would definitely order this again.

Guest had the fish and chips--no complaints, it all disappeared.

We certainly plan to visit again.

Popped in for brunch with Le daughter and husband. Love this place! On the menu for us was seafood chowder, cheese pizza, the works potato wedges , I had the fish cakes and I didn't get the daughters burger in. High quality food, great atmosphere , parking good, coffee not toooo shabby, all in all great place to have a meal whether on the run or meeting up with friends/family.

Stopped by for lunch when it was opening. It wasn't bust and we were given options of seating. We were seated outside and it was quite nice until the sun started to come down on us.

The service was quite good, our water bottle kept being replaced as needed. The food was quite nice. I had the fish and chip and the batter on the fish was nice and crispy. Decent size for lunch.

Previously I had rated this restaurant as a 3.0. Great service but the food was lacking. I'm pleased to say the service has gotten even better and the food has improved as well. I had Dumplings as an entree and Caesar Salad as a main. The Caesar Salad was much improved from what I experienced last time. That's great to see. It was certainly much needed. The costs for 2 entrees and 2 mains including 3 beers and 2 glasses of wine were $55 a head. Pretty good. Keep improving Speight's Ale House. Good to see.

Bit of a mixed bag. The steak sandwich was very good, but was roughly put together and fell apart. It also had chewy fat which made it difficult to eat. The staff were a tad rude, rushing us to order and making snide comments when they came back.
From the outside it looks good, and in the waiting area is nice, but the actual tables don't seem to fit the tone and ate quite crammed. Tables small and close together and we were very close to the toilets. So crammed that people going to the toilet had to squeeze past the person on the end of the table.
Price was ok, main and 2 beers for $41

Speight's Ale House is a family friendly pub where you can get decent meals and friendly service.  It was good for our little one as they had high chairs, a good selection on their kids' menu and colouring sheets and crayons for her.

We had a nice spot by the window on a sunny day and the tables are not crammed together.  We found our meals to be fine, although nothing too different or special, but exactly what you would expect for pub food.  Overall, a decent place for a casual lunch in the weekend.

This is one of the largest restaurants I've ever seen in Auckland! There is so much floor space and tables but it is very well spread out. The decor is super fun with a western/70s NZ theme 😎. The staff are very attentive and at your service without being too in your face. I think the menu has a lot to offer but my only judgement would be if you don't like mushrooms - this menu is a little hard to order from in some parts, otherwise there is something for everyone (almost!). If you like beer/lager then you'll love this place, I think a guys night out would be lots of fun here đŸ» The dishes I tried were all a little dry in the meat department but they have lovely desserts and have some pretty well made sauces with both the sweet and savory dishes. I'd definitely come back here, just not in a hurry.

Had Mother's Day lunch with my wife and kids. We did not make any bookings but got accomodated anyway, which was great as the place got packed quickly. The service staff were friendly and got our orders promptly. We had BBQ chicken wings, calamari on small plates, seafood chowder, and Caesar's salad. The menu tells you which food items were gluten-free and that was good. My sons had the chicken burger with chips and cherry baked chicken. They finished the food off in a quick fashion. The menu had a comprehensive list of Speight's beer - have to come back next time to try these. The food was good but nothing stood out as being unique or great. Overall, a good experience.

Great food and best fries. Everything goes well with the range of tap beer you can get from Speight's Ale House. I tried one of the platters, fries, ribs, seafood pizza and salad. Everything was perfect and very delicious. The food are fresh, well presented and what makes the place complete is the cozy atmosphere. The furnishing and the decoration is very lovely. Been there three times and will be going back again.

We love this restaurant, we've been 5 times now. It's not often my husband and I agree on food but this place just ticks all the boxes. Delicious food, reasonable prices, friendly service & a nice relaxing environment. We take our 10 & 3 year old and they get crayons and colouring-in pictures.
I quite often get 2 x entrees rather than 1 x main, so I get 2 yummy meals. Love the Chicken Nibbles, Ribs and rustic fries with aoli. My hubby loves the Lamb shank Pie. And you can sit back and have a drink while watching the rugby/league. Totally recommend.

A group of eight of us enjoyed a wonderful evening 01.12.2013. Our meals were first class, the service was great and the ambience wonderful - we will definitely be returning. Our meal choices included the Sunday Night Roast, fish and chips, and bacon and lambs fry. All were attractively served and much enjoyed.

Keen to support our new 'local', our family went to the Ale House for an 18th birthday celebration. Our party included 9 adults (18-79) and 2 children (9 and 11).
We ordered steak, pizzas, salmon on bagel, eggplant (the Kate Sheppard), lamb shank pie and hamburgers/fish and chips for the children. Every meal was fantastic. Hot, quick, tasty, generous servings.
Drinks were all cold and we especially liked the taster tray of Speight's classics.
Service excellent. And they even arranged the birthday candles on our cake most artistically.
We'll be back!

Lovely new bar and restaurant, good portion sizes, great food. Lots of room but can get a bit noisy in the bar area when busy. We have been there several times now, started with a large platter that we couldn't finish. Also had one of their mussel dishes which was fabulous and real good value. My husband loves the lamb shank pie. Staff are quick, friendly and attentive. Desserts are delicious , I would highly recommend. The beer is great too.

This is a really cool bar, it is quite big and has cool décor. Went with a group for lunch and the staff were friendly and quite good. The meals here are quite large so defiantly good prices on food. I was surprised the chicken burger came with battered chicken and the beer at $9 a pint is pretty standard. I had the vegetarian pita and thought it was delicious! The holumi wasn't too thick and it was cooked as well. The plum sauce that comes on the side is a very good as well.

Ten of us had lunch here today. Service was a little slow but our female waiter was friendly and attentive. Most of us were happy with our meals, they are very large but very good "pub" food. Two of us had the calamari salad. The calamari was excellent but the salad was not. It was limp and drenched in dressing. It tasted like it had been prepared with the dressing some hours before. The chips were great! Coffee was good. Large cappuccino cups and reasonably priced. I'll certainly be going there for dinner - looking forward to the Lambs fry.

I really enjoyed the food and beer at lunchtime here today. Attentive staff were really good.

Big tall windows let in huge amounts of light at the seating around the corner at the end, where tables are a nice distance from each other to allow for relaxed conversation.

I ate a Vegetarian Pita with grilled haloumi. I loved everything about it, except perhaps the haloumi. The mashed avocado and greens and flavours in the plump chickpea / falafel pattie, were fabulous. On the menu, the word 'haloumi' sold it for me... but in the pita itself, the haloumi was not done quite the way I like it - it was sliced too thick, not browned, and it squeaked on my teeth as I bit into it. I think less is more when it comes to haloumi. That said, I ate every bite regardless, and just made sure I poured plenty of delicious plummy-sweet-chilli-ish sauce over the haloumi to stop it squeaking on my teeth (LOL!). The rest of the concoction was fabulous. Also very good value at $16 I thought. I could easily have just eaten half a portion and been satisfied.

Beer was fabulous as Speights always is.
The fit-out looks cool, with its rustic pioneer NZ themes.
Also worth noting are the pristine new bathrooms with fresh flowers in there - nice touch!

Had drinks here on their first Friday night, place was busy, and staff did well.
Came back on Tuesday night for a birthday dinner with 11 adults and 5 kids. I was worried after reading other reviews but everyone wanted to try it being local.
Great service, food a excellent. I had lambs fry with wild mushrooms, silver beet and a whiskey cream sauce. Best pub meal I've had. All meals were great value and we all left happy.

Fantastic food and drinks selection and friendly staff.

Sad to see people reviewing them negatively on their first night(s) open... they were pushed hard that night and told us as we walked in that the food would take a while.
We were happy to wait and got a free drink in return.

When the food did arrive we weren't dissapointed.
Have been back since to enjoy the atmosphere and the sun on the deck! Great new local.

Cool local pub to meet friends.

Fantastic setting, particularly outdoors, will be lovely in summer!
Extensive menu- kids choice good too. Quick service.
Only disappointment was the steak - the cut, size and cooking of it . certainly not 8oz as advertised, a big strip of gristle and very over cooked making it dry/tough.

Took our family out for lunch and had a delicious lunch! Amazing calamari salad and seafood chowder and the garlic pizza bread and fries went down quickly with the kids! Good price lunches, and they have a good kids selection too. Great outdoor area, on the day we went, it was cold, but look forward to sitting on the deck with a wine.
We will be back again soon!

Fantastic local pub, superb food, good service and not too expensive parking is easy. It is a new pub and probably ages since we have had a new pub open in the area. The decor is very 'speights' which is cool and creative

Enjoyed our stay at this lovely place in Stonefields. Clean and great customer service. Food is yummy. We have mango margaritas which we really enjoyed. Had brownie and calamari, perfect 👍. Though Warriors lost, it was still a fun night well spent at this place. Highly recommended 👏

Went with a group of 8 for lunch. Was very quiet, which was fine by us. We've been there twice before over the last 2 years, and the service and quality of food and atmosphere have consistently been excellent. The pie is what we went for, and it did not disappoint. I found the portions too large, and the kid portions not enough, but it evened out in the end. The cider on tap was fantastic, I highly recommend this for a summer lunch drink.

Pleasantly surprised with the BBQ Pork ribs! đŸ« đŸ– We had a half rack and it fed three of us. They were juicy but still had the chewy burnt bits I lurve - succulent close to the bone and crunchy on the edges. Meaty as all hell!! The sweet chilli sauce was a bit too sweet and as a last minute pour over lacked some of the baked in beauty and sticky, tacky tastiness of what lay beneath. Would have preferred that on the side. Good pints and big dark wood pub hideaway corners. The staff are absolutely outstanding!!

Food is awesome specially the meat platter. The ribs are so tender with sauce selection to top it all. Highly recommended. Kudos to the all the chefs, management and staff. It was really a fantastic experience and very attentive and working hard staff. Highly recommended to dine in, chill out and enjoy the ambience.

It is a very good popular place for local to hang out. Very suitable for families gathering. Saw families with grandparents or grandchildren's. The place also has private area for dining away from the pub gathering people. Always busy during a big games such as All black games, super league games or black caps cricket games. Foods are average. Good choices of beers.

Great local bar & grill. Good selection of beers & always tasty food! Staff are nice & plenty of parking. Just went down for lunch and the new menu is now mainly pizzas, burgers & snacks. It's disappointing to see some of the staples, such as steak & ribs gone. Will keep an eye on it...

Family of 5. 10 out of 10 for the entire experience tonight! The cherry on top definitely was the service. Our waiter was on top of everything, food service was on point & the best part for me is their were no fake smiles. Everyone was genuine & I felt they really wanted to make sure we enjoyed our experience. It was our first time at Speights Stonefield & we will definitely be back 🎯

We often come here for the weekly pub quiz on Mondays. Compared to other quizzes, especially nearby ones, this is one of the best. Starts at a decent time, doesn't waste too much time and allows us to get out on time. The food selection is also pretty good here, and costs about as much as most other pubs.

I came here on Sunday at 8pm with my wife and the it was nice and quite, I think thats why we got kicked out at 9pm even though it says they open until 11pm. I know we came in late and we understand. We still enjoyed few drinks with shoestring, I will try to come in earlier for next time so you guys can finish up early😁

Speights Ale House Stonefields was a great dining experience! The atmosphere as we entered was very much sports bar but when we were seated around the corner from the bar/TV it was actually very quiet and comfortable to sit and eat. Service was bubbly, our order was taken quickly and the food came promptly. It definitely felt like we were being looked after. The food itself was tasty, and the menu had a wide range of options ranging from pub food to finer options. The drinks menu was the highlight, with the Speights range on tap (yum) and the option to choose between glass, pint or jug. The range of alternatives was also extensive so plenty of options for those less keen on a beer. Staff were very helpful and we had a lovely time. Will definitely be back for another brew soon!

One of our favourite restaurants in the area. Visited Speight's Ale House many times and have always been satisfied with our meals. It has great atmosphere and big TV screens for live sports. Some of our favourite meals are Bangers and Mash, Southern-man Steak, Black Cherry Chicken, Steak and Cheese Pie and Fish and Chips! <3

The food was superb as usual. It is a favourite place for lunch. Our waitress was busy but not once came back to see if we wanted further drinks or dessert. And the place was warm and friendly with lots of families. It was lovely
