About Belles Hot Chicken

Belles Hot Chicken brings serious Nashville-style heat and retro diner swagger to Hindley Street. Chicken tenders and sandos come stacked with thick, crunchy cuts seasoned precisely to your dialled-in spice level—running from mild comfort right through to Traveller and Really F*ckin' Hot. Locals stop in for quick bites before festival theatre curtains or settle into booths beneath dim red lighting with cold draught lagers and seasoned fries. The kitchen keeps orders moving fast, sending out hot honey buns balanced with sharp pickles and generous baskets of wings.

  • Customisable Heat Levels: Tenders, wings, and sandwiches come calibrated to five spice tiers ranging up to Really F*ckin' Hot.
  • Retro Diner Fit-Out: The dining room channels a 1970s aesthetic with vintage booth seating, dim red lighting, and custom placemats.
  • Full Bar Program: A complete drinks program pairs fried cuts with cold draught lager, wine selections, and spirits.

Before you head over

Practical tips on seating, spice selection, and ambiance to ensure a smooth visit.

  • Confirm Heat Levels for Identical Table Orders

    With five distinct heat tiers ranging from non-spicy to Really F*ckin' Hot, take note of your exact tier when ordering to avoid mix-ups at the table.

  • Prepare for Atmospheric Dim Red Lighting

    The 70s-style dining room features dimmed ambient red lighting that can make printed menus harder to read; keep your phone handy if you prefer clearer visibility.
