The Belgrave Arms Bel-grill - Highland

Went in for dinner during our last week of 4 weeks staying in Helmsdale. Wish we had taken the time to have visited earlier in our stay. We both enjoyed our meals, crispy prawns garlic mushrooms to start followed by sweet sour chicken and Balmoral chicken. Not fine dining but good honest tasty food and excellent value for money. Wine was also good (Merlot Rose Zinfandel). Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert, maybe next time. The young waitress provided a very good service, friendly, efficient and not intrusive. Overall a very pleasant evening, even the background music was to our taste, we will certainly return.

Returning home from a long day out, we decided to find a good restaurant, but being midweek in mid September, the first 2 places we tried weren't serving food. We ended up taking a punt on the Belgrave Arms, arriving just before the restaurant closed. The place was nearly empty but the staff said were in time for food. I couldn't fault the waitress professional, courteous and attentive and the food ranged from perfectly good to excellent. I tried sweet sour chicken and the sauce was probably the best I've tasted. SWMBO liked the burger and was impressed by the fruit roulade. The food came quickly, not surprising since the kitchen wasn't busy, and in good portions. Maybe we just picked a good night, but I think we'll be back to check.

Spent a week in Helmsdale with my grown up family and had a brilliant time. Spent a fair bit of time in the bar of The Belgrave Arms playing darts and pool with the locals. Proper old school pub. Then on our last night we ate in the restaurant. There were 7 of us. Two lasagne, one curry and a steak. Three of us had the seafood platter. Huge plate piled with langoustines, lobster and crab with new potatoes,salad and dips. Fantastic. Loved it. Will be back. TIP- If you want the seafood order it the day before. Cheers.

Had couple of meals here during are stay in Helmsdale both times very nice very friendly I would go again

Good selection of food on the menu, very friendly, attentive staff. Our steak locally sourced (medium rare) was cooked to perfection. Very reasonably priced. Hotel exterior showing it's age, however main eating area was fresh and clean.
