Speight's Ale House Ashburton

the speight's ale house ashburton has great staff that offer unsurpassed southern hospitality. monday the 11th of december 2006 marked a big day on the ashburton calendar with the opening of the eagerly anticipated ashburton speight's ale house, managed by ex-all black richard turner and owned by the ashburton licensing trust. the building itself is steeped in history. it was first built in 1898 by the then bank of new south wales and has served the community in this purpose for the vast majority of its existence. at over 100 years old, its transformation to a speight's ale house will ensure it continues to command its place in local history and in the hearts (and stomachs!) of locals. the menu offers a selection of quality, hearty southern fare all matched to the great speight's beers on offer. trading sevens days a week, the ashburton speight's ale house is open monday to friday from 11am until late.
