The staff were extremely helpful, restaurant was warm and amenities good. Well priced menu items which unfortunately was reflected in the quality of the full breakfast. The Speights breakfast was unbelievably disappointing, the eggs were hard, the bacon cold and blackened in places from a well used grill plate, as was the tomato, sausage was tasty but tough due to prolonged deep frying, and most unexpected was the use of some very very old mushrooms. The mushrooms were not only shrivelled but they still smelt bad even after cooking and plating. The bangers and creamy mash were good (mash was creamy but sausage skin again tough) and filling (huge onion rings were great), the chicken wings were large crispy and without doubt the bell of the ball.

5 stars all the way for food, service and atmosphere. Invercargill might not offer much to some, but to us it's a great little spot. We were in town to look at the motorcycle museums which didn't disappoint us! We stayed at The Langlands across the road and this looked a good option for a feed. Walking in on the ground floor was a mix of bar and seating for dinner with upstairs being a mezzanine floor with more seating for dinner. Their choice of local beer covered most and trying a few I was impressed! I got the Stag main while partner got the seafood bowl, she was said it was amazing with the mix of seafood and sauce that had her saying 'wow' every bite! My vension...well, I'd have say it was cooked perfectly that if I used a spoon as a knife it still would have sliced through it. Will we be back next year, yes on our yearly travels we will be back. Give out thanks to the chef and kitchen staff for food that will have us coming back. Thanks guys! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Nothing to fault hence 5 stars. From the easy online booking system and email confirmation, to Tony's service and easy going demeanour to the great food, dinks and atmosphere for a mid Sat afternoon I just wish we lived locally so we could do it more often.

Never disappointed when we take visitors to the South here for an ale or two and a meal. The food is always perfect and the staff super friendly and welcoming! Even better when you get the table in front of the fire on a blustery, wet southern day! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30

Food and beverages were excellent. Staff friendly and mostly attentive. Had one staff member clear some of our dishes while talking on her mobile which I thought was wrong, particularly as I wished to ask her something and she didn't notice me trying to catch her eye. Atmosphere was good too. It was unfortunate that the smoke from smokers outside was filtering under the window where we sat. All in all, a great choice for our anniversary dinner out.

Staff worked hard and served well despite being short handed. Drinks brought promptly and generous wine pours. Food well presented but nothing standout about it. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–60 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
