Cardrona Speights Ale House is an okay pub. It's a bit big to be your local. Speaking of food, if you order off the bar menu, the portions are huge. We're talking big here. Enough for 2 maybe even 3 if you're not that hungry. We've tried the wedges and chicken wings and have been satisfied both times. The dish shouldn't set you back more than $10. Pints are $6 each and you guessed it, they only serve Speights.
