Our Story.

Here Is a bit About Us.... The Speight’s Ale House situated in Grey Street, within CBD precinct of Palmerston North, was opened in November 2008. Owners Tim and Bernice Adlam originally both hail from the deep South and have brought a taste of Southern hospitality to the Manawatu.

All the superb tap ales served at The Speight’s Ale House are brewed to specifications and standards that date back over 100 years.  

We also now offer a guest tap of "Speight's wee Cousin" to our line up.  A perfect drop of Emersons Craft Beer, think Jucicy Gossip, Super Quench,  which is all directly shipped to Speight's Ale House Palmerston North from Dunners.

When the original Ale House was opened in Dunedin in 1999,  the challenge was to produce                 - hearty,   - value for money,   - southern fare 

The Ale House features  classics like seafood chowder, blue cod, lamb shanks, beef steak,  as well as popular vegetarian options. 

All meals are expertly matched to one of our fine tap ales, although an extensive range of wines, spirits, coffees and non-alcoholic drinks are also available. The Speight’s Ale House also offers set menu options for groups, including package deals. If you are looking for the perfect gift, meal vouchers are available on request at the bar.

Now you know about us we look forward to seeing you and your friends to enjoying our hospitality.
