Speedway Garage Palmerston North — Restaurant in Palmerston North

Dad and I called in tonight as we were wanting a ‘Beef Wellington’. The staff were fantastic to deal with, and really helpful.

Food: The meals were great, however I did notice a lack of seasoning within the dish, plus we weren’t asked how I wanted them cooked. Not enough to make an issue about though.

Also there was no trace of Mushrooms, even through my deconstruction. I was a little let down as this is something this dish is well known for.

Drinks: Had keg beer and Vodka and coke.. Nothing to report here as were standard.

Service: The staff work very efficiently, even the interactions between themselves appeared very positive and they actually looked like they enjoyed being at work. Once standing at the bar was only about 10-15secs before I was served.. very impressed.

Atmosphere: What I liked was a lot of ‘like minded’ people and all over 35-40. It’s a great little place for a quiet meal and live bands occasionally.

The facilities were well maintained and well stocked.

And just like a previous issue I made on another review, I’m a bigger guy and I found the tables at the front were all the ‘bar stool’ variety, maybe having a lower ‘bench’ style near the pool area could be beneficial.

All in all, this was a pleasant experience and I look forward to...

Honestly the hype this place got, we were excited!! Called in after a charity car run with mates…

We ordered; Buffalo Wings - these were like deep fried bones in sauce, there was literally no chicken left. Sauce was just a store brought wing sauce - we literally buy the same one for home… Garlic Bread - when you get the option of aioli or balsamic glaze, you expect amazement… it tasted like the $2.50 mamma garlic bread from the supermarket with a sprinkle of cheese and drizzle… Salt & Pepper Squid - was literally the store brought ones we’ll buy for a platter on Friday night for friends, except we got half as many for twice the price… Loaded Fries - fatty and COLD meat, on undercooked chips with a heart attack amount of cheese… probably worst we’ve ever had… Chicken Alfredo - looked great, until starting to eat it and the sauce was completely split and curdled. With the fear of sickness - didn’t get any further… Drinks - bloody awesome, probably coz they were RTD’s they just had to open…

Staff were pleasant, which was nice and the atmosphere (other than there being no tables inside - and having to sit outside) was ok…

Personally I don’t go out to eat, and pay 3 times the price for worse food than I can make at home… Sorry Speedway Garage but it was a...
