Helch is a restaurant that is definitely worth visiting if you're looking for a place with a great ambiance and tasty food. The bartenders are skilled at their craft and know how to pour a perfect pint. Whether you're looking for a local beer or a cocktail slushie, the bar at Helch has you covered.
The pasta dishes are particularly impressive, with the noodles being cooked al dente and the sauces being rich and flavorful. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients, which is a testament to the quality of the kitchen staff. Whether you prefer a classic carbonara or a more adventurous prawn and white wine, you'll find a pasta dish that you'll love at Helch.
One thing that sets Helch apart from other restaurants is their commitment to accommodating a variety of dietary needs. Their vegan crumble, for example, is a standout dish that is made without any animal products yet still tastes like a traditional crumble that you might have had at your grandmother's house. The crumble is served warm and pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's a dessert that is both satisfying and guilt-free.
If you're a fan of fried chicken, then you're in luck at Helch. Their fried chicken is cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior that gives way to juicy and tender meat inside. The chicken is seasoned well and pairs perfectly with a side of halloumi fries. The fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right amount of saltiness.

Variety with the music is second-to-none, with numerous different nights (IE jazz music, raves, girly pop) hosted each week and the venue is just a bit of a cultural hotbed in itself - in all of the best ways.
The people who run the place are absolutely fantastic to deal with, having both played here and run a couple of nights myself, and C, the security guard, is an absolute...

Food was great! I ordered Pani Puri and Tacos, both to eat in and take away! Portion sizes and quality was really great value for money!
