G'day from the Bealey's Speight's Ale House, Restaurant and now Function Centre!

Welcome to the award winning Bealey's Speight's Ale House, voted the best redeveloped bar in New Zealand in 2006.

Named after one of Canterbury's founding forefathers, we'd like to think that in the 21st Century, Bealey's is a pioneer in hospitality.

Why does Bealey's sell more Speight's than any other bar in the country? It's called hospitality, and plenty of it! Bealey's is more than a bar - it's a place where you're made to feel welcome, where you can enjoy a yarn with your mates, rub shoulders with the locals (Cantabs) over a beer - the way Kiwi's did back in the good old days.

Call in for coffee or kiwi cuisine

If you're from out of town, call in and sample a selection of fine New Zealand wines, enjoy a foaming Speight's ale and a memorable meal from our extensive menu. Try kiwi classics like a White Bait Pattie, Shearers Shanks, The Pig Hunter, Seafood Platter for two, or a Scarfie (Uni student fodder).

We've released our brand NEW Menu!

At Bealey's, we reckon our popular menu is a winner; we are sure you'll agree. Why? Well we cater for a wide range of people and tastes, with Kiwi favourites that have stood the test of time. How could anyone resist a slice of our Pavlova (Pav) for dessert? This Kiwi culinary invention is as popular as beer.
