Speight's Ale House Timaru

Nestled inside the only Landing Service building still standing in the Southern Hemisphere, the Speight’s Ale House is serving the pride of the south and fresh seasonal eats for all of Timaru to enjoy.

The Speight’s Brewery has been producing award-winning ales and beers, using only the finest quality southern ingredients since 1876 with almost a dozen options to choose from. Traditionalists should opt for the Speight’s Gold Medal Ale, while those looking for something a little different should try the Empire IPA, an old favourite with a generous addition of Kohatu hops.

The menu has been designed to offer hearty, value for money servings of Kiwi style pub food. Famous near and far is the 12 hour braised lamb shoulder with pomme puree and jus, blue and gold blue cod served with a homemade tartare.

If you’re feeling adventurous, treat yourself to one of their platters: the ultimate seafood platter boasts smoked salmon, calamari rings, a prawn cocktail and many more delicious bites from the great blue. And like any winning pub, they have a delicious range of burgers, salads, vegetarian options and a kid's menu for those with young families.
