Great food, and well priced. Option for a table at the bar or slightly little more formal, and sit down in the restaurant. Also has outdoor seating for the warmer months or for the Brave. There were no tables at the restaurant when we arrived, but we were able to grab one by the bar with the same menu on offer. Massive selection of beers on tap.
Came in on a Tuesday about 130pm for lunch. Place was empty and the staff weren’t particularly friendly. Food was excellent though so they definitely have that going for them.
We dined here on Tuesday night, with my partner. It's a funky space, the staff were super friendly and very accommodating to my partner's coeliac requirements. Really enjoyed the meal!
Very nice. Chill vibes, tidy and speedy service. Well priced beers, we had two for $20 👌
Food was delicious. Definitely worth stopping in!
Delicious soup, he loved the sausage n mash.
Good fast service
Comfy seats.
And reasonable prices .
Very good and dependably consistent with the food quality. There were six of us and they served us quickly and the food was very good. The staff were polite and responsive to our requirements.
We had dinner here on a Friday night when the holidays started. There were about 40 or more people but even though there was a large amount of people the food still came out quickly and tasted excellent with very reasonable prices. Definitely recommend.
A great restaurant with really good food. The atmosphere was nice and the wait staff very friendly. Their signature dish of the lamb shanks was amazing. The seafood chowder was a little salty but still good. I really recommend walking to the end of the street for this restaurant. Also for the Chinese tourist they have a bilingual menu.
This is the best dinner we have since we arrived in NZ 3 days ago. We loved what we have ordered and totally enjoyed our dinner. Service is good right from the time we were seated till order taken promptly by a new male staff with a friendly attitude right till our meals were served.
Good portion of food served with reasonable price . I love my Mt Pisa crackling pork belly , it was really crackling good ! The mashed potato is one of the creamiest and tastiest I have so far. My son loves his Blue and Gold fish & chip and thinks it is one of the best he has eaten. My daughter loves her BBQ ribs and claimed they were finger licking good ! Hubby ordered Catch of the day which is Grilled Salmon and he enjoyed it too !
Overall our experience at Speight's Ale House is a wonderful memorable one .
Keep it up , People 😁

We accidentally stumbled upon this place while looking for a place that served early dinner in Wanaka. It has a very spacious dining and drinking area. The food, as far as we can remember, were very good considering the fact that they specialise in beer rather than food. We'll definitely consider going back to Speight's Ale House if we are ever back in town.
Like the ambience, I had market fish not bad. The waiter was attentive and friendly towards my kid. Kid friendly restaurant for sure
The restaurant is located right next to the lake and at thw entrance to town center. We visited at 6pm for early dinner and nearly all the outdoor sitting were fully occupied.
Friendly staff and yummy food.
Incredible food and great service, Ribeye steak was so tasty and portions were huge, Go for tbeir roast potatoes, you won't regret it!
Speights Ale House Wānaka, it’s been a while! I arrived on sunset, so beautiful. This restaurant appeared so inviting and the atmosphere was so rich and gave out a cozy vibe. I ordered the Blue Cod, it’s was so amazing, what a stunning place. Toilets were clean and Devine. Staff were nice. Overall, will be back, lovely place.
Great selection of wine and for sure the great Speight's beers on tap!
Food here is just amazing! Big plates and the price is totally reasonable.
Lovely staff!! :) very friendly!
Table service in the restaurant.
Also a bar section with tables.
I can definitely recommend this place! :)
Came here to eat twice while in Wanaka. Great environment with friendly staff. Can get really busy during dinner time, but can sit and order from the bar. Had the lamb shank and the pork belly burger, both really tasty with generous portions. Wife had the ribs and burger, also good. Tried several of their beers and they were all good. Would go back again.
A fantastic place, lots of seating options for outside and in, also incredibly friendly staff. They don't do cocktails but they do have real bailies which was a first in new zealand for me to find. The burgers are amazing. The chips are massive, not fries as the menu states but still good. My burger was great - good quality beef and great sauces. Just really good food. Also they give you water at the table too. Very helpful.
