Bellinis Restaurant

Much improved from the last few times we went in. 👍 Food is very good but service can be a bit variable due to a high staff turnover. I think staff are mostly seasonal and inexperienced so you still get the odd thing missed off your order. Food itself is great, love the pizzas and they usually have a decent value special on or similar.

Went for mothers day meal. Nice food. Chicken pate with toasted ciabatta bread and homemade onion chutney was lovely . The goats cheese arachini balls with pea puree was nice as well. Only two thin flaps of beef on my dinner though so the balance of meat to veg was out of kilter but it was all nice. The lemon Bakewell was light and fluffy with zingy lemon curd with toasted almonds on top with side of cream that added moisture and enhanced the pudding . Will go back to try regular menu .

Our party of five decided to share a selection off the Indian menu rather than the very interesting pub menu. The starters and mains were equal to any well known Indians in Manchester,especially the samosas,bhajis and chicken tikka sizzler.Service was efficient and the pub had a great friendly feel to it. We will certainly return.

Lovely pub serving quality home cooked food, it's a shame it was very quiet on a Wednesday lunch time. We shared 2 starters they were lovely, sticky bbq sausages and garlic mushroom served with crusty bread, I had sirloin steak which was lovely, although a bit heavy on the pepper for me and I would prefer Diane sauce than peppercorn, most places only do peppercorn sauce though, my daughter had burger, looked like a proper homemade burger, the chips were the best I've had on any pub food, the menu is only small but probably something for most people, it is a shame there isn't more on it to keep people coming back for more but wouldn't want the quality to suffer for it as it's good food, the only other customer we saw walked out because there was nothing that they wanted on the menu. My daughter has been here on a Sunday for a Sunday dinner, she had lamb shank which she really enjoyed, she's promised to take me back for a lamb shank soon, apparently Sunday lunch is busy and lamb sells out quickly. There is a large outdoor area with seating and play equipment for the kids which I can see doing well in the summer. Only dropped a star because of the small menu and too much pepper but if you like home cook food then give it a try.

Yet again had a brilliant family night enjoying a Superb 3 course meal and sing along at the Billinge Arms on Friday evening to Celebrate the Coronation of KING CHARLES III with Danny and Tom performing British classics song. What a great night, a lot of hard work and planning by the staff, who delivered real tasty food and drinks. Highly recommend the Billinge Arms for any function. Thanks for a fabulous evening, Steve.
